Mowing limits

backyard mowing

The bad thing about procrastinating on mowing is once the "lawn" gets so high I can't run the mulch machine with the bag due to it bogging down.

It's much more powerful once you take the bag attachment off, but still has its limits.

Sounds like you need a scythe. Maybe you can talk some company into letting you review one. ;-)

Free scythe?
Great idea! I've always been very intrigued by scythes, and I even have one. But it's too tall for me (I'm pretty sure), and I don't really know how to use it. What I need to do is get someone to show me how to use it, and how to get one that fits!

Scythes are pretty much one size fits all. They are imminently adjustable.

For men, maybe...
The scythe you got me wasn't adjustable down the height I'd need. I suspect that scythes are one size fits all if you're in the average range for men, but not for women.
