What equipment for a really overgrown garden? I guess I won't even move there with a lawn mower. Do you think that scythes are still for sale today? Or should I get a brushcutter?

1 Answer

Answer :

The classic grass mowing is still for sale. Not everyone dreams of learning to mow quickly. You must also be able to tap and sharpen the scythe. The brushcutter is the most suitable for an overgrown garden. The first year counts very often, don't let anything be planted. If you have a big wild blackberry there, I recommend quality gloves and uproot the roots. None of it compost, burn, or trash. The second year you can mow with a lawn mower. I recommend mowing again often, you must not give any weeds a chance to multiply. I got such an overgrown and unmaintained garden for 20 years 5 years ago. The grass was overgrown with old uncut grass and almost as tall as me. In the following year, wild blackberry also disappeared due to frequent mowing. Someone solves it with chemistry, but I don't recommend it.
