RE: How to Build Soil in the Garden: Chop and Drop (Permaculture Technique) (Vlog & Photo Log)

What is this type of Brush Scythe?? The ones I've seen are like shorter and thicker scythe blades, but still a regular scythe with proper handle and corresponding movement. That one above looks a bit like push-pull hoe with a serrated edge? How do you work it?

Sort:  

Not sure of the details on this tool... I use it like a hockey stick. I swing it in front of me with hands slightly apart on the handle. I'd like to get my hands on one of the scythe shaped serrated ones, seems like a more effective tool. The serrated sickle gets more use as I use it around plants that haven't got their thick mulch yet.
