Great video of Beth Pearsall using a scythe in the same Country Life story;

"Unlike modern-day mowers and weedeaters, it has no numbing vibrations or sputtering fumes and almost helps her meditate as she swings it over the weeds, she told Country Life."

Country Life: Could old-school tools change how we garden?

Beth Pearsall wants to revive the ancient skill of scything. She loves swishing the sharp-bladed tool through her own garden and holds workshops to teach others about the scythe and its uses.
