A compilation video covering last year's (2021) season of mowing one patch of grass. This 'lawn' was sown in 2019 from a variety of grass and clover species. As in 2020, from May to July I left it (or most of it) for hay and to benefit wildlife. All the cuttings, including the hay, are used on our allotment for mulch and compost.
I make and restore stuff, so many of my scythes are old refurbished blades mounted onto reproduction handles, although I also use new stuff: eg Fux / Falci.
