A Clear Paddock

I have just recently finished clearing the big paddock of weeds, and as you can see the horses and ponies have eaten most of the weeds I cut down, but now you can see just how little grass there is, oh well at least they have plenty of haylage.

Here is what we are using to clear the weeds now as the shears are quite slow, so we use this now it is pretty good at cutting down the stinging nettles, but it does sometimes have a bit of trouble with older nettles, and the cow parsley.

Still it is great for clearing the weeds near and under the fence, it comes with a pack of little plastic blades, you attach just one on to the strimmer and you are good to go, sadly it’s only meant for use on grass so the blades can break easily if they hit a thick stalk.

It doesn’t have a very long charge so I can only do a little bit every day, because we have no where to charge it where the horses and ponies are, anyway I am quite happy with it and it is making clearing the paddocks much quicker, so that is always good.

Thank you for your comments on my last post.

Sherri, yes most of the fur goes quite quickly, there are so many birds here that we don’t have to worry about the fur laying around.
