In other news, for anyone that thinks this concept is a foray into the absurd, they are mistaken :)
Mowing ones lawn with a reel mower is beneficial for the lawn. Instead of ripping the grass with a fan type mower, the reel mower blades simply clip the ends of the grass. Its sort of like getting a haircut. Another reason to switch over to reel mowing is the environmental impact of traditional gas powered mowing. In fact, 5% of air pollution is a result of gas powered lawn mowers (EPA). Biking to and from the job and using a push mower, I end up cutting out all the lawn care related carbon emissions.
