Reel mowing

A couple of years ago I was out on a jog and saw a guy mowing his lawn with a reel mower. At that moment I thought if I ever have a lawn I should do that. I try to save the planet as much as I can, and I thought this would be a great way to help. I now have a lawn and a reel mower. So far it has been great. The one thing I have learned is mow often. If the grass is too tall it just will not work.

This week I have heard a couple of times the mayor of Wichita talk about how Wichita has had higher air pollution then it should the last two months. He talks about how you should get a new lawn mower, because old ones are very bad on air quality. He never once says get a reel mower. I find that sad. How many people don't think about that and how much could it save?

The bottom line is if you have a lawn consider a reel mower. You never need to change the oil or gas them up, and they are a great workout if you just sit in an office all day. It is a win-win-win.
