I wish we could go back to some of those things; it would be so fulfilling, but I'm too old for that now...If I had my time again I'd seek out some sort of Amish community, I really would...Really, I would...

Using a scythe aren't hard work at all. My uncle find's it alot less fatiguing then using a petrol one(with the spinning tread). So get one of ebay and give it a go, important that it's laminated and good steel of course

Oh no thanks, though I do use normal 'manual' hedge trimmers to trim my ivy hedge, great work for the pecs and front deltoids...

Yes, of course, I realise that :-)

Wow, cool, thank you

One can not know everything. It is good to know who to ask.
