Have you ever heard of a reel mower?
Perhaps not. (Most people I know never have.)
In my family we've been talking about them since I can remember.
The talk of reel mowers mainly came up because my grandfather always used to
tell a story of mowing the lawn when he was a boy (in the 1920's), the mower jamming
& accidentally cutting off the tip of his finger trying to fix it, which a chicken then ran away with!
Ack! True story, I swear! He had the tip of his finger missing to prove it...
Anywho, we now have a reel mower & I absolutely love it! Why, you ask?
No need to go to the gym because it is a great work out...
No need to get gas for a mower because it is human powered...
No loud engine noise because it just rotates quietly...
Plus when you are finished you feel uber amounts of accomplishment.
Hard work is a good thing! Trust me it is awesome!
Granted if you have a huge yard I don't really recommend it but for a teeny yard
or just a small patch of grass in the front of your home it is absolutely perfect. Plus it is FUN!
(At least I think so, just watch your fingers & be on the look out for hungry chickens. Tee hee hee.)
Or to get one of your own here is a good option.

Great idea! Love these.
