Well, @daw162, nothing wrong with doing all of those things, right? We live in a small house, in a town where we walk to the grocery store, library, bank, post office, park, and restaurants. We also drive cars with great gas mileage, eat locally, avoid processed foods, clean green, buy less and used. Having a reel mower is a small part, but that doesn't mean it can't be part of a bigger picture.

You are an accident waiting to happen my friend. Running with bare feet while doing the grass (motorized or not) is highly dangerous. I can just see you getting your toes cut.

@sarafranchesca Sounds like you do the right things, unlike most. I have a situation identical to yours, can walk everywhere I need to go, and generally take the bus 95% of the time when I don't walk. Have the cars, but it's a waste to drive them and no easier to get things done.

Really starting to think (for the purposes of my back yard) the guy below is right about using more of the back yard for a bigger garden.

@daw162 you sir have a lot of time on you hands!

going green would be living in a smaller house and driving less, taking public trans and not flying all over the place. A push mower doesn't use enough gas to worry about it.

Most of the nutballs I know who bloviate about their reel mower drive 25 miles to work and boast about how europe is better than the US (because they fly there), while I live in a house half the size, drive a car half the size and push a gas mower. I wonder who is greener?

@dkim68 well, some of the reel mowers, lighter ones light a BRILL will stop and jam if you hit a small stick or a rock or something like that, but something heavier and with thicker blades, like a prison mower or a Mascot mower. I'm not entirely sure how well a Scotts Classic will do, but if it's on the heavier side, like over 30 lbs., i would say it wouldn't get jammed too often. One thing to remember though, that's a safety feature as well, if something does get caught, it doesn't shoot out.
