Scything my Yard

Here is a row I recently scythed. The tall grasses will make a nice bale. You can make a bale in a baler or a tote or box. I have a video on making a bale in a tote.

The taller scythed grasses will keep birds from stealing it and using it for their nests.

You can still use mowed grasses for a bale. After aging the bales, they will become matted. However, I still prefer scythed grasses.

Bales have many uses. I'm going to use some bales to keep my watermelon from touching the damp ground. Take a look:





I stake the vine using a large tie-down. Cut sharp on one end and stick it through the bale.
