I have a few private clients who hire me every year to mow parts of their garden or property that they keep as meadow. It’s a different kind of job compared to the big meadows we usually work on, but just as nice!

This time, I’m at Else’s garden, which I have been mowing for 7 years now. The meadow is situated on a slope, there are trees, bushes, lowhanging branches and wire fencing lot’s of stuff that make cutting grass extra fun!

In this video, I show you how to use a scythe in a practical way, how to tackle an area and how to handle different obstacles and situations that may arise.

And as a bonus, I get to do it during a wonderfully quiet and peaceful Swedish summer night. Sit back, relax and let’s scythe this garden for Else.

Oh, and did I mention I got there by bike? ;)
