Just goes to show – old tractors can do the job just as well as new ones!  What my family used to call ‘saving the hay’…

  1. Do you know anyone who does conservation mowing?

    I must admit, I’m not exactly sure what conservation mowing is – presumably mowing with an awareness of maintaining diversity in the grassland?

    I do, however, know Dean & Doug, as mentioned here….

    They are true gardeners, who work with thought for the plants, and the land.

    I hope this is helpful!
