A fantastic article in the Guardian this week about peening scythe blades. We’ve been promoting the use of the scythe in the UK for 18 years now and I love how it has gone from a very niche activity to being a common tool for meadow management.
If you’re thinking of creating a wildflower meadow or managing some land, the scythe is a wonderful tool and ideal for volunteer groups too. Find out about my courses, including a detailed peening workshop on the Learn to Scythe page
