Mowing a flat lawn full of clovers, plantains and dandelions is relatively easy. A sloped area with bumps and difficult vegetation requires some strategy.
In this video, I'm scything an area that was not mowed last summer, with a slight slope, lots of mole and ant bumps. Grasses and other perennials, as well as woody shoots have grown through the grasses that lay on the ground last winter.

I use a handle made from a sweet chestnut stem, I hope to make the next video about it to design another one.
The recovered grass is used to cover the crops in our garden. The role of this thick mulch will be mainly to conserve moisture and slow down spontaneous weeds.
