    If you are complaining about spreading hay - and I can cover my existing 185m² in a single afternoon with ease -

    I have 12000 m^2. It’s not the 1920’s where mechanical equipment is prohibitively expensive. The entire reason she developed the method was because she didn’t have access to equipment. A cultivar isn’t that expensive and far more eco friendly to till local than burn gas transporting hay ( not to mention the fertilizer needed and diesel that was burned farming the hay). I rent a big one in the spring and have a small battery electric for maintenance.
