you could really do with one of the roller type of hand mower.

qualcast panther 30s

avoid like the plagqe any of the side wheel types, as the side wheels just drop off the grass path into the allotment and will increase you're swearing abillities as you haul the rotten thing back onto the grass for the 50th time in the last 2 meters.
funny to watch,
not funny if it's you.

Yep get one thats old their far better than the modern dodo thing that qualcast call a push mower. Try freecycle

No personal experience here - just poking my nose in. But loads of people on our site use petrol strimmers. Are these any good?
Interested because we are planning on planting grass seed on the paths.

We got 2 qualcast panther 30s from freecycle.  If you're not too far from me (Maidstone) your could have the spare one    They're great on the grass paths  :!:

For dense clumps and hillocks, borrow or invest in a mattock. I paid about 15 quid for mine.
