A "Real" Lawnmower, or a "Reel" Lawnmower

It is because of this, I'm sure, that I also felt very strongly about these. In fact I'd found one at a garage sale (go figure! 😁) & was bound & determined to make it worth my while & useful for my yard. Such a small yard, self mulching, no gas needed, nor electricity. And think of the guns I'd be giving myself.

It wouldn't take up too much space in the garage. I used it; I did. It did work, though the blades on the one I found at the garage sale were a bit duller than they should've been. And I did find myself using Grandma's old mower much more often for the task. I'm sure it's directly linked with my overall familiarity with having a gas-powered mower.

I'd still like to use one of these & know that, when I do get my own lawn again, & I do decide how much to make into a garden (growing food, not a lawn), that with the remainder - whatever lawn I do have left, I think it would be most sensible (&, of course, super unique) to use a reel lawn mower. I think this model, though "Amazon's Choice", would also be my choice, as it's a narrow mower & I would think for spacing efficiency, & cutting around landscaping nooks & crannies, it'd be a great option. If anything, go for the additional blade; get the five blade instead (same link).

I'm sure that the one I'd gotten at the garage sale wasn't up to par & that getting a brand new one would provide the efficiency, quiet, good-for-the-environment/no gas cost/no electricity cost goodness I'm truly looking for - along with a quick workout built right in.
