May not be your cup of tea but you could get a scythe.
A lot less pollution than a mower.
Cheaper to run and service
Good exercise

Dont forget the cost of plasters and trips to A&E if you get it

I used a scythe for 2 summers as a teenager - only injuries were
splinters from the less than perfect handle.

Long handled ones are unwieldier, but can cut much more per
stroke. However, is a scythe going to be up to cutting through all
the woody bits?
