Cutting very long grass

    My garden has gotten out of hand (selling house, weather, not living there any more etc) and tomorrow I will have 2 petrol strimmers and a ride on to try and tackle it. It's around a third of an acre in size, all grass and the grass (and weeds) have grown to around 3 foot. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to tackle it using that equipment? Thanks!

    I'd suggest you put the ride on to the highest setting and cut a foot of grass to see what height it cuts down to.

    Then take the strimmers and try and get it down to the top height the ride on can cut.

    Does the ride on have a grass collector?

    If so, it should lift the stuff you've strimmed off the top. Then take a few runs with the sit on, going down through the settings in 1 or 2 more cuts until it's done.

    Great. Sounds like a good plan. The less raking etc the better!!
