Scything During a Super El-Nino Winter
Usually I try to stay in shape, in winter, for the upcoming spring scythe season, by shoveling snow and cross-country skiing. This year, however, I can just keep scything! Here I'm mowing areas of old unmowed grass (mostly brome). I am using a 70cm Gartensense scythe blade on a 170cm Fux adjustable wooden snath, available at www.onescytherevolution.com/quick-order.html

Harvesting Reed Canary Grass for Straw
Просмотров 7917 месяцев назад
Reed Canary Grass can be harvested with a scythe, in the fall and winter for use as straw bedding. I used to use it in my goose barn. Now I am trying it out in my chicken coop. My Icelandic chickens and Welsh Harlequin ducks are enjoying it. I mowing with a 50cm fux light bush blade and No.4 Fux snath, available at scythe-revolution.com/products/light-bush-blade-scythe-outfits

Working with my Fux Gartensense scythe blade and adjustable wooden snath. Available at scythe-revolution.com/products/150cm-snath-with-60cm-gardensense-blade-scythe-outfit This area was planted in squash last year. Once the squash plants spread out, I can't mow the aisles anymore until after the harvest, so a lot of grass and weeds come up, in and along the windrows. It takes two cuttings the n...
Stopped by a Red-winged Blackbird
Просмотров 713Год назад
I was trying to cut down the big thistles in this corner of the field, before they went to seed. A pair of red-winged blackbirds became very upset about it. I had scythed within 3 feet of the nest, when I spotted it with 3 eggs inside it. I took a detour and scythed down some of the biggest thistles that I could get to without getting near the nest. I've learned the hard way, that if I disturb ...

Scything Thistles and Reed Canary Grass away from Electric-Netting Poultry Fence
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
I'm doing some delicate scything around an electric poultry net fencing, with a 50cm light bush blade. The stems of the thistles were getting to be 1/2 inch in diameter, so I preferred to use the heftier bush blade. The thistles and reed canary grass were getting so high, was starting to not be able to see my chickens! The tall vegetation actually helped keep my chickens cool during the heatwav...
Using a general-purpose scythe on a farm
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Год назад
What is a general-purpose grass blade? It is a medium-weight grass blade usually 60-70cm long. Here is a demonstration of the use of the "Gartensense" (Garden scythe) blade in a farm situation. First I am mowing an overgrown open area of lawn grass, and then large thistles (just before flowering). The shortness of the general-purpose grass blade is also good for accurate trimming strokes. Here ...
Scything an area of mixed new grass and matted dead grass
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Год назад
I had skipped mowing this area last season in order to not disturb nesting grassland birds. Whenever I would get to an section where the dead grass was more upright, and would interfere with a full scythe stroke, I would switch and take take several short ones, working with the lay of the dead grass. In sections where the dead grass is flattened to the ground, I just let the blade slide over it...
Mowing with a 70cm "Gartensense" Scythe Blade
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.Год назад
onescytherevolution.com/quick-order.html The Schroeckenfux "Gartensense" (garden scythe) scythe blades are especially good this year, in my opinion. Good form and good edge. Extra sharp right out of the package. It's a great general-purpose blade for grass and young weeds. Good for lawns and hayfields, but also dexterous trimming around garden beds, trees, and bushes. In this video I trim the g...

Quiet and the perfect workout. He's going to live a long and healthy life!
Hello - I have been unzen and over-peened my scythe so it is a little wavy/warped towards the tip. I can still mow, which is good because the grass hasn't stopped growing. I'd very much appreciate you give some advice/suggestions as to how to correct this. I'd humbly request a video, but that would probably require a warped blade, and I suspect yours are all near perfect!
The muscle memory and skill shown here may not seem like much to most people, but my goodness this tradesman is good.
where in dunnville is this
I'm surprised that he's cutting so high and I wonder if that's done so the field can be burned off.
I think they mow the oat stems so high, so that less green weeds end up in the sheaves.
Smooth
You always are so patient . That blade is amazingly sharp!
Damaged?
Thank you sir, most informative
We had them around the farm when I was a kid
That's really cool. It's amazing how much easier a good sharp scythe gets through high grass. You should make a video about the windrow garden.
Greetings! I wonder if a scythe is really the proper weeding tool here. My experience is that I can use a scythe most effectively if I have space enough to swing it along the path of the imaginary circumference of the blade. On the other hand, I'm a great fan of push mowers, another great class of traditional hand tools. Have you considered using them in confined spaces? Push mowers, however, also mulch the weed super fine and maybe that's not what you want. God bless you, keep on scything!
Nice guide, I read your blogpost about it. I will be getting a scythe from Niels and try to replicate his version, I probably have some hardware to put it together.
Привет. О качественных косах так мало информации в русскоязычном интернете. Поэтому нашёл ваш канал. Пересматриваю ваши видео и перечитываю комментарии. 😁
Same here in belgium, miserable
Wow that's a lot of comfrey.
Great work. I’m trying hay this year
Great work. I’m trying hay this year
Glad to see you still at it after all these years! I feel like an exchange of ideas with Amish would be interesting...
I watched your videos when first uploaded. But the person who is gonna let me make hey on their land ended up moving away. Now somebody else is considering this and i'm wondering if you've made any updates to your method...thanks a TON 😊
Nice jig idea
The edge is probably work hardened as a result of the peening. Honing will not work harden the metal, whether it is iron or steel.
what dose this do?
Great video, thank you!
Do you find that this ensures perfect year round mulch cover? Do you need to double up the windrow as shown in the video or would one pass be sufficient?
This morning was my first cut for the season. I got my kit from you the other year and use it to make hay for my garden beds. The worst part is waiting for the grass to grow so I can break out the scythe.
I think it is very unsafe way. There is much safer and faster way to sharpen it.
Get it OG!!!!! Props!!! That scythe blade sounds sharp and ready to do more work!!! Cheers
"Gartensense" ... wieso muß da ein englischer Titel dran, wenn's doch ein deutsch benanntes Gerät ist? Und wieso nicht einfach nur "Sense"?
Because I sell it in the USA as a Gartensense Scythe Outfit scythe-revolution.com/products/150cm-snath-with-60cm-gardensense-blade-scythe-outfit
I wish I could find one of these that functions.
One man one acre one day That was our ambition.
Great! I have a have a so called "Forst Sense". It can easely cut small bushes and small trees.
I've always wanted to use a scythe like this, but they're not common in Brazil, and they're very expensive.
Must be the extremely invasive Canada thistle…
nice
This really makes me want to go peen. How did the potatoes work there?
is there any kind of cover for the hay in winter? i live in the pacific northwest and it seems like with our constant drizzle, it would be soaked through if not covered in some way.
Superb!
What blade? Looks like Falci Orso 154, right ?
Yes, I meant Falci 154 (Bear). I buy this one two weeks ago. 70cm, weight is 664gramms. @@BotanAnderson
👏👏
1:43 poor mice running for their lives...lol Picked up the scythe yesterday to clean up some winter left overs, but it looks like scythe season starts early this year....
You can tell your well practiced 😂
I was taught to use a scythe when I was a kid in the 1960's. It did not have the cradle on it though We had a mix of tall oats with rye grass which is shorter. Cut it all in a long smooth stroke and lay it down at the end of the stroke so it can be picked up easy with a pitchfork. Scythe blade needs to be sharpened often.
I can’t wait to try this. The yield looks less than potatoes planted deeper in soil, but the labor for the whole operation seems a lot easier. If your back can’t take much digging, fewer potatoes is still much better than no potatoes & a field empty of food. I like how the windrow blends right into its surroundings too. Thanks for sharing this method.
Какая у вас теплая зима, можно траву косить. У нас сугробы и -20-30. Подмосковье.
