A scythe is one of the most elegant and efficient hand tools
available. It is ideal for harvesting many types of crops and is
quieter and pleasanter to use than a strimmer. There is a graceful,
rhythmic quality to scything that once mastered can provide the
ultimate mind and body workout. In this book, Ian Miller teaches
you how to scythe from scratch including assembly, perfecting the
stroke, honing, peening, uses and aftercare. A scythe can be used
for mowing the lawn, harvesting small grain, and cutting back
wildflower meadows without disrupting wildlife. The hay and straw
can be used in the garden for mulching and composting or for food
and bedding for household pets while small grains can used for
making bread and feeding poultry. The Scything Handbook will
delight all gardeners, allotmenteers and smallholders who are tired
of their noisy, heavy, fuel-dependent machines and looking for
better ways to take care of themselves and their land.
