Reel Type Push Mower – Shameless Ad

This Greenworks 18 Inch 4 Blade Reel Type Push Mower With Grass Catcher might elicit some laughter from the motor-head set, but the fact remains, reel-type mowers make the finest cuts and are gentler to grass blades than any mower yet developed. The reel cut leaves behind a rolled pattern as well, making a surface not only clear of the abraded blade ends caused by power mowers without the scissors action of reel type blade systems – and who are often cutting by blunt trauma. I love this old fashioned method of “getting next to a lawn”. The cuts are better and an urban lot can really gain in so many ways, from the appearance itself and the exercise involved to the gorgeous clean look.

Neuton 36V Battery-Powered Lawn Mower

Neuton CE6 19 Inch 36Volt Duracell-Powered Cordless Battery Powered Lawnmower offers a mulching and bagging option and answers a need long-since asked for and maybe, just maybe, finally delivered on. There is no doubt this technology has been “on the way”. The ability to make smaller batteries with more capacity still languishes just a bit behind what we all want to see, yet the conversion of all electrical power to a more efficient machine finally makes this technology peer from out behind the curtain. Needless to say, the advantages of machines such as these – and I include weed eaters, blowers and edgers – which operate without the polluting effects of gas power and the mess – makes machines such as this more than desirable. The features:

A removable 36-volt battery that costs about 10 cents to fully recharge in 12 hours. Versatile 3-in-1 cutting options include a rear grass bag, side discharge chute and mulching plug. Easy to use 1-touch cutting height adjustment from 1.2-inches to 3-inches, (this is huge!). It weighs a total of only 69 pounds, making the Neuton CE6 very easy to push. This is the more expensive model, featured here. For other models, click the link provided below.

Miracle Gro Lawn Fertilizers

Miracle Gro Lawn Fertilizers have the advantage of water-soluble application which acts far faster than normal, granular fertilizers. It is not the least bit uncommon to see results the very next day and I have found this to be especially true of the tree and plant fertilizers by Miracle Gro. Their concentrations of Nitrogen and Iron in a grass-centered fertilizer always reveal a greener lawn by far, reflecting the most common bias of all lawn working fools like us. ;-)

Easy to apply – especially with their applicator – one can water and feed at the same time which is always a satisfying enterprise. I am not ‘all that’ on the longer term effects but one sure cannot argue with the short term beauty delivered by this product. There are slower-releasing fertilizers out there which do indeed last longer as a feeding system. But this stuff is not that far behind, either. This is a legitimately great product, by any criterion.
