I believe you are among those who have started to tire of the lawn doctrine. You have a garden where parts can be transformed into a flower meadow that is mowed only 1-2 times a year instead of being cut up to 32 times.

In the flower meadow, you don't need to think about moss, watering, drought, and fertilizing associated with the perfect lawn.

Perhaps you're tempted by the thought of mowing the small lawn you have with a scythe instead? It works perfectly fine.

Or do you have a summer cottage with an anxiety-ridden lawn that takes up a large part of your time there – transform it into a flower meadow to be proud of. Many summer cottage plots have very good conditions for a flower meadow from the start. Meadow plants often lie waiting to bloom, having sometimes survived decades of mowing.

Perhaps you usually trim slopes, edges, ditches, or roadsides where the lawnmower can't reach.

It's a relief to mow those areas with a scythe instead, and if you also rake away the grass, you'll get more flowers, and after a few years, the vegetation becomes lower, and the amount of grass to rake away decreases.

This way, you recreate meadow land – in the past, most farmland near the homestead was managed this way; all grass was a resource for rabbits, cows, and horses. There were many more flowers in the fields and hence more insects and birds that rely on insects to feed their young.

You can read much more about the scythe in the new Scythe Handbook that my good friend Rune Stenholm has written. The book is available as a free PDF here!

The printed publication can be ordered in our webshop.

Quote from the scythe handbook:

"A strange norm has developed whereby nothing can be done unless one has a machine – and it preferably should be red and very loud. Men and women of Sweden! Break the norm!

Scythe mowing is something to be proud of and show off. Why tear apart your body enclosed in hearing protection and a sweaty helmet, dirty visor, bothersome harnesses, smelly exhaust, heavy protective boots, when you can be free, efficient, deliver quality and at the same time enjoy birdsong and the scent of freshly cut hay.
So therefore...
Forget the trimmer. Take up the scythe. Sharpen your interest. Sharpen the blade.
Learn it - you can too. Scythe mowing is not just a curiosity.
It is a profession. It is cultural conservation. It is nature conservation. It
is therapy. THE SCYTHE BEATS EVERYTHING"
