BroadforkEnjoyable half day spent learning to scythe. This, for me, felt like the start of another journey.

david M brookeA bit of early-season scything practice this morning, with the aim of getting my scything muscles in shape before needing to cut the main wildflower meadow in July / August.This section of long grass hasn't been cut at all for 2 or 3 years so was quite tough and tangled; a 2m-wide swathe roughly 50m long took around 2.5 hours to cut.<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Scything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Scything</a>

Jim DownieVery pleased with today’s achievement: a peening bench for my scythe. Time to clear my little ragwort meadow! <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/scything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scything</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/mowing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mowing</a>

IreneThis is where I'll be spending my Sunday, learning how to properly use a scythe! Been looking forward to this very much. <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/liekurs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#liekurs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/F%C3%A4rsnaG%C3%A5rd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FärsnaGård</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/scything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scything</a> www.hliv.se

Stan CareyI haven't got the hang of scything yet (it's not mine, I'm just helping a friend), but when it works perfectly for a few sweeps it's intensely satisfying.
