Strimmers and Brushcutters.
If you have recently leased a allotment or have just moved into a council house and you find the land at the back is over grown with grass or course weeds the best thing to use is a strimmer or brushcutter. If your land is just overgrown with grass then I would quite simply suggest to use a petrol strimmer or if you are a bit enviromentaly concerened use a scythe or grass hook. Once you have strimmed down the grass fetch a rake of some sort and start collecting the grass. To dispose of it you can either burn it, compost it or bag it and take it down to your local skip.If your land is over grown with thick weeds and grass the best thing to use is a petrol brushcutter. Brushcutters are alot bigger than strimmers and instead of having a cable to cut weeds and grass it has a metal disk which cuts through thick stemmed weeds. Again once all of the weeds and grass have been cut down collect together with a rake and dispose of them. Now you dispose of this in a different way, you can either burn it or bag it to take down to your local skip. Do not compost the rubbish due to seeds or roots that may start to germinate or grow weeds in your composter. So its best to burn or bin it.
