Introduction to scythe mowing and deneling.
There are many advantages to scythe mowing: it protects fauna, promotes biodiversity, is inexpensive, quiet, emission-free, avoids waste and requires no gasoline, no electricity and no mechanics.

It is a traditional skill and ancient craftsmanship that harmonizes perfectly with permaculture. What's more, rhythmic exercise in the fresh air is healthy and a real pleasure if you have a well-equipped and sharpened scythe at your disposal and have mastered the mowing technique to some extent. This introductory course is all about "knowing how":

- the optimum individual setting and adjustment of the scythe
- Denesing and sharpening as the basis for enjoyable mowing
- the correct mowing technique and posture
- scythe care and storage

In addition to the theoretical basics, we offer above all the extensive opportunity to learn by doing under expert guidance and supervision and to enjoy practicing.

The course takes place outdoors, regardless of the weather. Please bring good shoes and work clothes suitable for the weather.

Participation is at your own risk. The organizer is not liable for accidental damage.

We ask you to bring your own scythe if possible, as only a certain number of scythes can be provided!

Bring your own:
- Scythe (if possible)
- writing utensils
- Weatherproof and warm clothing
- good shoes
- gloves
