My Learn to Scythe courses in 2024 got off to an early start with a trip to teach a a group of women how to scythe in Scotland. They are part of a volunteer group managing a community owned woodland and meadow near Edinburgh and want to use scythe to manage the grass instead of strimmers.
After setting up the scythes, we spent some time learning how to sharpen them so they would be as sharp as possible for mowing.
The meadow has been neglected for a number of years so there was a lot of long, dead grass but the scythers dealt with it easily, clearing the ground for the new spring growth.
My 2024 Learn to Scythe Courses are available to book now via Eventbrite. If you have a group, I can come to teach at your own site. For details please email stevetomlin8[at]gmail.com
