Evening all,
I am working on clearing a large section of the plot where the weeds are about a metre high and I attempted this using my spade (forcing it into the weeds to hack them down). This didn't work out so well and I do not own/wish to rent a strimmer so I decided to buy a 'weed hacking implement' from amazon (essentially a hooked machete type of thing) to help me chop down the weeds.
I have one concern though and that is the possibility I may attract the attention of the police/raise some eyeballs (especially considering what has happened in the news lately) whilst I am hacking them down (obviously I will keep the tool in my bag when transporting it, out of sight). The plot itself is well out of view of anyone but other allotment holders but I do not wish to cause a stir whilst I clear my plot. I have bought a scythe as well but the handle is a bit dodgy. I visited a local garden centre at first to buy one but I was told they did not sell them due to health and safety reasons.
I believe the tools I have will do the job but I am concerned so some advice will be loverly
.
Many thanks,
Samuel
p.s im in my early 20's and considering the viewpoint of people towards my age group this doesn't help me out too much lol
