SALMA'S SCYTHING LESSON HELPS RESTORE AMENITY GRASS

Last year we cleared brambles between an oak tree and a weeping willow in the Wilmer Way end of the park, then re-seeded. We are restoring short amenity grass here - it's a pleasant spot for picnics, especially in hot weather.

By late May the new grass was long and needed mowing, and since regular volunteer Salma wanted to learn how to use a scythe, it was a great opportunity to do both.

After the obligatory ‘grim reaper’ photo, Salma got started, learning how to sweep the blade round smoothly just touching the ground. She picked it up quickly and we moved on to cutting the longer stuff. Every few minutes you need to clean the blade with a bunch of grass and sharpen it with a stone.

Scything is superb fun once you get the hang of it, so we took turns and soon finished the job. We’ll scythe the grass once more before asking the Council to mow through here in future.

Good afternoon Arnos Parker’s
It looks like this will be the last instalment of our mum and baby woodpecker.
They certainly have had lots of people interested and has been the talk of the park this spring.
They appear to have vacated the nest .
