Learn about the ancient craft of mowing with a scythe

In this course, you will learn the basics of scythe mowing: from the correct adjustment of the scythe to the correct posture and mowing technique. Whether for the maintenance of orchards, species-rich flower meadows or your own garden, mowing with a scythe is a natural alternative to motorized equipment and at the same time a beneficial physical activity.
