If you are interested in starting your journey into reel mowing, this video is your beginner’s guide to manual, battery, and gas reel mowers.
➡️ The biggest difference between reel mowers and rotary mowers is in the mechanism used to cut each blade of grass, but there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Reel mowers are typically quieter, healthier for the lawn, and easier to maintain while rotary mowers can handle larger areas and bumpy terrains better.
Reel mowers also make striping much easier and lead to an arguably more aesthetically pleasing finished lawn.
Reel mowing is growing in popularity and I am here to share my experiences with some of the most popular mowers on the market.
➡️ In this video, I am demonstrating the most common types of reel mowers and discussing all the details to consider when choosing your first reel mower.

I'm also in a 1920 house, wanting to keep lawn tech eco-friendly. I started with the Great States reel seen here, but the grass grows these tall, stiff oat-looking things that don't really get cut down. I don't care, but I'm sure the neighbors do. Looking for alternatives.

@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 Ай бұрын

Is that a sea wall or a lake wall? If you're in Michigan you're Lakes littoral rather than oceanic littoral so I probably don't need to worry about you not raising the sea wall. I don't like low mowing for a sward I want to keep as a sward, but for weakening a lawn so new plants can compete, this info is very useful.

Addiction????? Before the power lawn mower that’s all there was. It is still the best way to cut your lawn because it doesn’t use gas, it gives the user a lot of exercise especially if he takes it afterwards it gives whoever a break from the stress of the day, time to just take their time and enjoy the time to enjoy the improvements they create. Nobody says you have to do it all in one day. If one can great! If you can’t great! That means you’ll get more exercise the next day. The thing is when to do it. After dinner when it is cooler is the best time. If you do it in the middle of the day and kits really hot the grass will burn. It’s not a burden too do something that will improve your home and your health. If you are old hire a kid to do it for you

I love it! These are all 100% facts. I manual reel mow my lawn majority of the time and only use the others to stripe it. It is a way healthier way of lawncare for the individual and the lawn!

Don’t scalp your lawn, not below 2 and pref 3-4” and cut at least once a week, pref twice a week. That length he has - too short. If you can see any soil, you are inviting weeds. Remember the long the top growth, the long the roots. And you want long roots in the event of drought.

@plips71755 15 күн бұрын

The more blades the finer the cut. It has nothing to do with height and if you are cutting 3/4” - O.M.Gosh. Unless you have like creeping bent grass.
