Getting started with a reel mower

Posted by A3M0N 8 (My Page) on

Ok, so I'm about to pull the trigger on a 16" reel mower. My "lawn" is mostly weed right now, but I have raked all the pine straw, leaves, and sticks out.

To get started, do I just get to mowing with it and clean up with a line trimmer? I don't have a rotary right now because we just moved in.

Thanks!

Well, it's pretty simple. Just start pushing the lawn mower and it will do the rest. Are you sure you want a push mower though? How big is your yard.

I haven't measured my yard, but it seems like a standard suburban yard size (if that makes sense). Yes, I do want a push mower. But if I don't like it after this season, I can always buy a rotary at tax time next year.
