Aaron: I found this old, rusted, scythe recently. I really started to use it out of necessity. Eliana and I live in a rural area, and every year, we fight a major problem with high weeds which line our 400 yard-long road.

Eliana We also have weeds and tall grass around the yard and garden. Trying to keep these under control every year is always a burden to me.

Aaron: I found this scythe in the back of an old trailer which belongs to my neighbor. We share tools back and forth, so I asked to use it. This particular scythe is old; it is dull and rusted; it is too large for my size; and I don't really have any experience using it. Even so, I found this tool to go through weeds like no other tool that I have tried. I was able to cut more weeds in about 20 minutes and with less effort than I could cut in about two hours with my lawn mower or a gas-powered weed trimmer.

Eliana: We decided to look for a good scrythe on the internet. In one video I saw a young girl  working with a scythe.  I immediately thought...what a good abdominal exercise!  We learned that with a good scythe, the rhythm of cutting is actually very relaxing.

Aaron: As you can see, this scythe is not the best example. A good scythe will cut smooth and clean. This one doesn't.

Aaron: However, we just wanted to introduce this to you.  We intend to learn a little more, and in the newar future we'll show you what a quality scythe can do.
