Scythe Mowing
My expertise extends beyond conventional lawn and meadow mowing to include the effective use of a scythe in handling various environments such as scrub, woodland plantations, young bamboo, young blackthorn, Himalayan balsam, woodland rides, marshland, field margins, hedgerows, and bracken. This method proves advantageous for challenging access points, wetter terrains, other sensitive periods, or whenever a low-impact approach is essential
