Re: The Ancient Threshing Circle
There is room in the shed for both the mower and the
scythe. I own the large DR field and brush mower. It has it's place. It can handle woody plants like scotch broom
better than a scythe. But it isn't any easier work, and far
more dangerous. Give me a pair of tree lopers and a
scythe any day. The work is far more pleasant. The scythe
rules in a simple overgrown grassy field. The grass can be
taller than you are. It doesn't matter. It is much easier
finding stumps and boulders using a scythe. Should you
hit one you don't fear catching it in the back of the head like you can with a bush hog or heaving it into the neighbors window with the brush mower.
