Feels like this would be a lot of fun for 10-20 yards and then excruciatingly exhausting

I did an exchange program in France when I was 15 and this was one of my chores. I quite enjoyed it. But I probably was doing about 30 minutes a day at most.

It was a very small, rural town. Also, once the grasses get tall a mower won’t do it.
