Mowing is the standard, but just by roling herbs and grasses flat once a while the result is like a path created in a forest just by walking. Much more variety in flowers and herbs (and a chance for survival for bees and butterfies). As mowing creates grasses, rolling creates herbs.
I tested a pretty simple version pulled by my Yarbo and it works great. Goal is to create natural looking small paths in an meadow like area with lots of trees. I am working on a version connected to the lifting system to be able to give extra pressure by the weight of the Yarbo. It’s a relative unknow technique, but used in Vineyards and to flatten cover crops. As there is a new Kickstarter running for Yarbo, I think it could be an awsome opportunity to create new module which would make a lot of butterflies and bees happy. It’s also a great tool for owners who like a more natural look of their garden.
