I look at it this way, if it is a waste of time to mow it then you have too much of it. I have nearly 12k sq feet and I still push mow it. Using an electric mower I find the time both relaxing and I can always use the exercise. plus I use the time to see what I need to fix, tweak, or just change out.
- tclancy 7y agoFor reference, that's a quarter acre.
- Marsymars 7y agoI switched to a reel mower when my last push mower died, and that's really relaxing without any of the noise or vibration of a gas mower. It is more physically demanding, but like you said, I can always use the exercise.
- asdff 7y agoMaybe mine was just shitty, but it seemed like I needed to take 3 passes with a reel to get an even cut.
- Marsymars 7y agoIt's probably less even than a gas mower, but doesn't especially bother me, my lawn isn't a golf green. I've found the real key point is not to let grass get too long between mowing - I have to cut the grass every 3-4 days in peak grass season.
