SUMMARY:Scything and Grassland Management 
DESCRIPTION:\nBeginners often imagine that a two day scything course is a bit excessive\, just to learn how to use a garden tool; and that is true if all you want to do is knock down weeds. But anyone who wants to mow grass on any scale will benefit from a two day course\, and people who do them come away saying: “I don’t know how you could cram all that into one day”. \nTwo days gives you enough time to prepare your own blade (rather than use the Blue Peter blades that I prepare in advance for the one-day course); you get more time to practice different peening methods; and I also demonstrate how to make and stack a hay rack\, which enables you to make hay even in changeable weather. \nThe course covers: \n\nhistory and sociology of the scythe\, in the UK and abroad\nselecting the right blade and snath for the job (or making best use of what you’ve got):\nsetting up a scythe and snath;\npeening with a jig\, and and introduction to freehand peening with hammer and anvil;\nsharpening;\nmowing technique;\nhow to avoid damaging the blade\, and how to repair chips and cracks;\nmanaging grass with scything in mind;\nhay-making by hand;\nmaking and loading a hayrack.\n\n \n\n \n
