Old style grass cutters

Allotmentpixie

Any thoughts on using an old style grass cutter (non electrical or petrol) for the pathways in an allotment? We are currently using sheers rather than a strimmer. Any recommendations and reasonable prices?

suppose it depends how much you have to cut! if just pathways then not so bad - GW did a review of some push mowers https://www.gardenersworld.com/reviews/lawn-mowers/best-push-mowers/
