How to scythe your orchard and lawn.

in #garden7 years ago

Last Summer I experimented with scything and have founds it so useful even after the new lawn mower was brought I have carried it on. it has hidden advantages like the insects can get out of your way instead of you rushing them down with a motor mower you can just wait for them to move on. The grass grows and recovers much better, and your fitness sky rockets after a few weeks.
Expect to collapse in exhaustion after the first few goes that was my experience then you get a better wind and stamina.
I made several videos with my phone one morning in the garden of what I am doing. It is now nearly winter here and cold, as it has been rainy I will likely carry on scything as not to have wheel marks on the lawn.

Wow thank you so much. You made my night and yes you will have fun, just keep the sweep of the scythe level so you don't strain your arms.

Right on :) My pleasure! I'm looking forward to having some fun scything and getting a nice workout during the process <3 This is going to be one sweet mindful meditation :D I am truly thoroughly excited!
