I finally have my blade quite sharp thanks to help and encouragement from Benjamin and others.
Now, I'm noticing how different things cut, especially grasses and especially my nemesis, Bermuda Grass.
I'm cutting a mix of johnson grass, fescue, clover, chicory, wheat and some other green non woody things along with bermuda grass. It is all cutting nice except the bermuda wants to lay down unless I cut almost into the dirt. I don't want to encourage it but in some places it's still standing after I've scythed everything else.
I'm using a 22" ditch blade that I thought was appropriate for the mix I would be cutting. Now I'm wondering if bermuda grass takes a more delicate blade?
The areas I'm mowing are garden edges, some
lawn and open areas and anywhere from a foot to two feet tall.
Any advice?
