Scything lawn-length grass

Trimming the “traffic zone“ in our yard with an 85cm blade on a homemade yellow birch (betula) snath. Notice that Ashley is leaning forward somewhat more so than usual. The reason? Very short and trampled grass requires the application of extra downwards pressure. This area is generally mown several times per season, whenever it reaches 8 to 10cm of growth, down to nearly nothing. Video recorded July 2009 For full commentary visit
