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"?

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 ?

👏👏

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.

49-5,000,000

Thank you for the relaxing video.

Where can I find one.

Is that a “bush blade” - if so did you peen it extra thin to be able to mow that soft grass? I’m thinking of doing this as I need a really short blade for my even narrower garden paths. Any advice so welcome, thanks 😊

Corn Butter. wall

Nice sharp blade there...no problems. That's the same blade length as mine. It's due for an outing in my back yard..I think it feels very lonely in my garage at the moment. lol

What do you do with it after it’s mowed?

I've tried all this and still can't get an edge on my scythe. Sharpening/honing isn't clicking.

What breed of ducks do you have?

So happy to know this!
