[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 8213468, member: 3566"] It really depends on what you expect / want from your "few acres of pasture" but it sounds like you should have given your grass to anyone who was willing to take it. A few acres with lines of trees in odd shapes will cost far more to cut and harvest than it's worth, even before the docks had gone to seed. This is entirely irrelevant if your ultimate aim is to 'rewild' it all but if your intention is to keep pasture then it really needs managing which really requires the bulk of that 50cm being removed. As suggested, mulching with a flail is the best option otherwise. I have visions of some locals with similar situations who have ended up cutting it all with a ride on mower. It looks nice but is not very good for the environment. [/QUOTE]
