To get tall weeds and grass cut, I get around using a different mower and I just use my hand weed sling and just wipe them out, or use my electric weedeater when needed to touch up spots.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131411.post-58291607548361752332009-07-11T09:30:40.675-05:002009-07-11T09:30:40.675-05:00Joe -- The next time I see my neighbor, I'll ask if she still wants to give me her reel mower. Then I will need to find someone to take my gas mower off my hands.Zataodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764673462050762176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131411.post-40581004014991543012009-07-11T09:09:57.909-05:002009-07-11T09:09:57.909-05:00Yes, it's a lot less expensive. They mow best on relatively flat lawns without a lot of hills and big bumps, another tip. You'll like this machine for barefoot mowing...you try, you like!Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131411.post-24640790313850256812009-07-08T08:17:38.715-05:002009-07-08T08:17:38.715-05:00Joe -- Another cool thing about the reel mowers is that they are a lot less expensive that gasoline powered mowers. You've got me convinced that I need to make the switch.Zataodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764673462050762176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131411.post-46181030305598234282009-07-07T19:35:18.228-05:002009-07-07T19:35:18.228-05:00Yeah, I'm very happy with my Scott's push mower. It doesn't mow really tall stuff well (have to mow often to avoid this). But, overall I am glad I got it. My lawn and legs are healthier because of it! Quieter, less polluting, gives you a workout (but not too much), and it requires very little maintenance...Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131411.post-75669764635158030522009-07-07T09:01:37.407-05:002009-07-07T09:01:37.407-05:00Joe -- I have a neighbor who has offered me her reel push mower. I am very tempted to take her up on this. It seems like a good idea on a number of levels.Zataodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764673462050762176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131411.post-33345679947248272992009-07-06T06:41:17.212-05:002009-07-06T06:41:17.212-05:00I mowed the lawn barefoot with my Reel push mower yesterday. Felt nice to do that again. It's a good workout and relaxing, grounding.Joe S.noreply@blogger.com
