Old School

So if you read the previous post, you should have figured out that our lawn mower died. So being the environmentally conscience family that we are, we decided to not pursue another gas powered lawn mower, but instead move backwards a couple of steps and go with a modern but old school Reel Mower.



I would have to say, it is a good time! It has put the fun back into mowing lawns (if there was any kind of fun to be had in the first place). Good workout, easy to push, cuts pretty good and is easy to store. Best of all, there is no gas needed! Bling.. in my pocket.

We have a fairly big back yard and I didn't have to stop once to empty a bag. Its quiet, I can still hear my kids playing or my wife talking to me while I zoom back and forth. One thing to be aware, its not a fan of tall weeds and taller grass may take a couple of passes, but if you keep up the lawn like ya should, that shouldn't be a problem.

I cant believe I just got excited about a lawn grooming apparatus and implementing it in my yard care routine... wow.
