There are alpacas in a field just round the back of our house, they’re great. Get some of those! I think once you get any kind of grazing creatures in there, they’ll help you tame the field.

Personally I find the big clearing jobs easier than the weeding – less need for attention to detail, which is not my strongest suit…

I think my back would be done in with all that weeding you’ve been doing. Until you get the area fenced in so you can get some living mowers in my suggestions are – pay some strapping teenager to ride your mower over the area and/or if possible get a local farmer to come in with a tractor grass cutter to top the grass and get it manageable. While I’m all for doing everything one’self there are times when the time and physical effort involved are not sensible. My youngest gets no allowance but earns money from me by doing the basic manual jobs in the garden.
