Did you know that one gas powered lawn mower emits as much exhaust as 40 idling cars in traffic (in an hour time span?) That is pretty shocking if you ask me! Go back to basics and opt for a push lawn-mower for your grass trimming needs. Modern reel mowers are:
- easier to push now
- light
- dust and exhaust-free
- quieter (goodbye mower noise-pollution that has woken me up many mornings)
- a great way to recycling your lawn trimmings into automatic mulch
- maintenance free
- better for your grass (I read somewhere that rotary mowers tear your grass while reel mowers cut the grass like scissors)
Here are some reel mower strategies:
1. Walk at a nice, comfy, and steady pace (Steady....steady now)
2. Overlap your rows b/c this will make it easier to maneuver through the grass
3. Don't let the grass grow too tall, don't want to overwhelm your new toy
4. Mow your lawn earlier or later in the day during warmer temperatures.
5. If you're a hot boy, mow shirtless...the ladies will love it! (meow)
