Scythe Mowing at Swedish Airport | Scything for Biodiversity

[@jonathanwebb4404]

Brilliant - and thank you for taking the trouble to give the commentary in English!

[@RobStephens007]

An excellent video: informative, inspiring, beautifully filmed and very professionally produced. Well done ... och tack så mycket!

[@gudfaderncc]

Vilken fin videokvalité! Härligt!

[@threeriversforge1997]

Always good to see what you're getting up to. I've been trying to push folks over to this channel to learn more about the scythe and the benefits of using one. Don't know how many converts there might be, but I appreciate you putting out great content like this because it makes the whole idea more appealing.

[@slattergubben6702]

Thanks! Yes the idea is to educate about biodiversity and the benefits you can get from these tools once started the journey to master the skills!

[@johnnybhoy4278]

I have noticed more biodiversity in my yard since I started mowing with a scythe a couple years ago.

[@slattergubben6702]

Great! It's probably valid worldwide!

[@carlgreen4222]

The saplings are like pulling up carpet, one strand at a time. Fun stuff.

[@Americandad_fan]

I can confirm those little stumps are the devils handy work😂

[@beni445]

Love your videos and your work!

[@slattergubben6702]

Thank you!

[@gcgopro6912]

A difficult and tiring work. Remember to do your daily stretches and you will have less muscular problems. As a landscaper who has done a similar type of work for decades I am giving good advice! Haha.

You wanna talk about a hard days work.. my god this dudes stamina is insane

At risk of smugness, in English, the first vowel in "many" is the same as the first vowel in "rare". Great work Jan and all of you at Slåttergubben.

vilket skutt i produktionsnivå på filmen! snyggt. och snyggt jobbat ni andra också. måste köpa en rothacka!

[@slattergubben6702]

Tack, ja det är tanken att det ska ligga lite mer i den nivån framöver!

[@andy199121]

I am thinking of setting up a similar business here in the UK, politics and culture seem to make a revival of this type of land management abit more difficult but if there’s a solution to the problem hopefully people will begin to apply it

[@slattergubben6702]

Great! Do not hesitate to ask if there is anything I can help you with. [e-mail] , or call me

I would love to see an update of this land. Looks like this was about a year ago. Did you get to work on this project again this year?

[@slattergubben6702]

Yes, and came much further with the saplings and bushes

[@mixturebeatz]

@@slattergubben6702 Thats great to know! I've recently gotten my scythe and am learning to mow. Thank you for all the videos.

[@jasonsummit1885]

I looked up to see if the Amish in America still use a mowing scythe but no, they use horse drawn sickle mowers. Don't know if it would work too well in a wet environment.

[@markharris5544]

Why didn't bushes grow in the marsh before it was an airport? Was it because the bushes were grazed down before they became big? If the area had been scythed as soon as it was fenced off would that have prevented the marsh becoming forest?

[@slattergubben6702]

Yes and yes.

[@Frankgraeder]
