Push Reel Mower, How to Mow Long Grass: High Mowing Height, Dry Grass, Three Passes
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- In this video, I show you how I mow long grass with my push reel mower. I set the cutting height as tall as possible to achieve a good ratio of clippings to grass. I mow when the lawn fairly dry and not wet. I will then pass over the lawn three times.
If you are interested in this mower, here is a link to the mower on Amazon:
amzn.to/3pjyp0c
Let me explain each of these steps in greater detail.
1. Set the cutting height as tall as possible. This will allow your lawnmower to roll over the grass and the length of the clippings will be minimized allowing the clippings to fall on the ground and compost itself, without leading to thatch. You generally want to mow off one third off the length of a grass blade, not more. Since I have skipped mowing for two weeks, the clippings may be longer than that ratio.
2. Mow the grass when it is dry. It is easier to mow the grass when it is dry with a push reel mower. With dry grass, the blades cut easier, the clippings fall without clumping and the wheels won’t slip.
3. Use three passes on the lawn.
a. For the first pass, choose one direction to mow in and go back and forth in that direction. Let’s call that direction 0 degrees (I chose diagonally), This is the first cut of the long grass, so it will be the most difficult. The thick grass may slow you down, and make it harder to push. Also, the grass clippings will pile up on your cutting bed and you will need to bend over and pick up those clippings and spread them over the lawn.
b. For the second pass, you will choose a direction that is perpendicular to the first pass, with the wheel marks forming an X with the first pass. The second pass will be cutting both grass and grass clippings left from the first pass.
c. For the third pass choose a direction that is 45 degrees off of the first or second pass. My usually weekly mowings only require two passes, but since the grass was so long to start off, the extra third pass will keep it neater.
You may think that my lawn is still long after my mowing, which is true. However, I believe that there are many benefits to keeping your cutting height high: 1) more photosynthesis for healthier grass plants, 2) thicker roots to reach more water, 3) shading for the soil below to keep it moist, 4) thick lawn that will drown out weeds, 5, less need for water, fertilizer and herbicide.
Please consider using a push reel-it is quiet, no gasoline or fumes, low maintenance, and helps you burn calories.

Thanks for watching! Do you use a push reel mower to mow your lawn? I hope this video helped. Please share your experiences in the comments below. You may enjoy other videos on my organic lawncare playlist.
Thanks for this video. I mow a few lawns for my health, and I have been considering upgrading from my Fiskars manual. It looks like the Scott's 20 inch you're using has several advantages over what I'm using now.
It's a lot easier when the grass is short.
My friends lawn is now wearing a crew cut.
@ToshioThunder Did you ever upgrade from Fiskars to Scott’s? How was your experience?
Finally someone with a good title and example of long grass.
Hi! I hope it was helpful. Please let me know how your experience with your reel mower goes. I have other videos on my organic lawncare playlist that you may enjoy.
@@vilramos I bought my first one just yesterday and i loved it!
@@Anthony-jk9hu Great! Glad to hear it. I just mowed my lawn this morning and it was quiet, while my daughter was still sleeping. It is over a decade old and I just add canola oil after each mow to maintain it and sharpen it now and then.
@@vilramos I still havent sharpen mine, bet it makes it way better
I have owned my push reel for 13 years and I have sharpened it 4-5 times, when the blades seemed like they were not cutting properly. Hope you are well!
This is one of the best inventions ever you ever been outside in your yard and you just want to chill out on a nice hot summer day and all of a sudden you hear the neighbour started his lawn mower so much for a peaceful afternoon but with these push mowers it's less about noise pollution you get your exercise and it doesn't pollute the Earth the nice thing about cutting with the push mower the grass goes back into the lawn and acts as fertilizer.
This is the cheapest lawn mower in the world
I love coming back home every summer after a 2 week trip and when I mow it’s just so satisfying
I know what you mean. The grass was so long in this video but once I got it all cleaned up, it was satisfying.
All i wanted to know is if it could be done, and you showed me it could. Thanks!
+1 for the idea of spreading clover; I have some, but now I want it all over my yard, lol.
Thank you so much. I have a push mower and a small yard , I love going out and mowing and being in my 70’s it’s the perfect exercise for me. I was finding stray tall grasses that would not cut. Iam so happy and thankful to of found your video. I thought putting the blades lower would solve it but only wore me out 😊. I raised them as high as possible and now I have a beautiful lawn 🙏! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your comment. I am glad that my video helped. I love mowing with the push reel mower!
I just got my first lawn and was gifted a push mower. After learning how to fix up my lawnmower this was the exact video I needed! I have a long lawn right now. Thank you so much and greetings from UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for your comment! Good luck with the new lawn and the new push reel mower. I hope you enjoy the mower. I have other videos on my organic lawn care playlist that you might enjoy, especially if you have kids and want a healthy safe lawn.
Val, A beautiful lawn. When I retired in 2011 I used a push reel for 6 years, worked great. Decided to add clove to the lawn. First year it was nice, second year the yard was excellent, third year I wound up with clover and weeds and hardly any grass.
Convinced the wife that I have saved enough on gas (LOL) to purchase an new Honda mower. Had to spray the weeds and the clover dies.
Again you have a beautiful clover lawn.
Thanks for the compliment and for sharing your experience and glad to hear you tried the push reel and the clover too. Sorry it did not work for you. I hope your lawn is beautiful too and that you are enjoying taking care of it! If you see a lot of weeds and too much clover, with no grass, I suggest to try to combat that by improving the pH with lime/compost or by overseeding with new grass seed. You can try using both these methods to help your lawn, whether you use a push reel or not. Check out my organic lawn playlist on my channel! Good luck to you Ernest.
A nice, thick lawn is nice for ultra competitive sports at family get-togethers. Experience speaking.
Just what I was looking for. Now I know where I went wrong (height and moisture). So helpful!
Now that you mentioned it, I dont know why so many cut their grass so short. Its not a golf course. Denser, greener lawns do look more healthy and natural. Then again, who am I to lecture anyone? Ive been doing it too 😂. Thx for the helpful tips!
Great! Glad to help out. Enjoy your lawn!!!
Those type of push mowers do a really good job if the blades are sharp. I remember using one back in the 60s to do my families yard
I use a reel mower for my 1/4 acre yard...I like how you do this...I am going to try your tips the next time I mow!
Thanks for the comment! I hope the tips help. Let me know how it goes when you try them. Glad you also use a reel mower!
Well Narrated video and great camera angles. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was undecided about purchasing a reel mower. I just moved from a house w 4 acres of st Augustine that I used a zero turn. My new house has a very small yard. Would take the zero turn 2 min to cut, way over kill. Plus it's new st Augustine sod. I want to let it get to 3-4" and was not sure a reel could handle it. Thanks for showing me it can!
Great to see what can be done with a push mower, this video convinced me to get one! Thanks for sharing this!
Glad I could help!
I really appreciate your thoughts on keeping healthy grass, for the environment and lower water usage and people’s health. Plus, I think your lawn looks beautiful!! Thanks for these how to tips.
Thanks for the comment! My push reel mower and my lawn are one of my hobbies at home. Cheers!
I bought a weed cutter tool to chop down the long stems that the mower doesn’t get after the first pass. It takes a while to get all the stems but eventually you get 99% and then if you mow it regularly after that you can get the lawn pretty good with just the mower.
Great tip! Thanks.
I was looking for reviews of reel mowers and came across your video. I'm not even a "Greenie" and I love the concept of a more natural lawn. I can't wait to watch your playlist.
Thanks for the comment! I love organic lawncare and it has become one of my hobbies at home. I hope you will enjoy the experience of using the reel mower.
Looks amazing good and you don't have to go to the gym afterwards!
I love this mower. It is great for modest lawns like mine.
Thank you very much for this video! You’re well spoken and clear about your details. Thank you.
You are welcome! I enjoy sharing videos on my various hobbies on my CZcams channel.
I love my reel mower. It's work, but it's worth it! Thank you for sharing this video.
thank you! my family is doubting I can do it, but your video is giving me confidence!
Try it out! You will enjoy using this push reel mower. I have other videos on my organic lawncare playlist that you may enjoy. Check it out!
I was amazed how well it cuts.
Glad it worked out for you!
@@vilramos I think my grass is too long. it is not working out lol
Kim, sorry to hear that. How long is your grass in inches? Sometimes the grass can be too long that the mower just runs over them and leaves them uncut. You have to mow the lawn regularly and so that the grass does not get too tall. I usually mow my lawn once a week and if I wait two weeks it gets too long. If it is too long, try to cut the long grass with mower at highest setting and then go over two or three more times. I then pull out a few extra long strands by hand or with clippers. If it is not working at all perhaps grass is too long and you may need to cut with a gas mower? I hope this comment helps?
I just ordered my first manual mower. I have used my dad’s in the 1970s though 😁. I am fed up trying to get the electric mower and strimmer working. They work intermittently. One minute they work then suddenly they’re dead like there’s no power. Strange and so frustrating! This’ll be great workout for me too😁🏋️♂️.
I hope it works out for you! I love using mine. So easy to use and so quiet and low maintenance.
Hey, thanks for the info in this, we just got a reel mower, and I've been having a time trying to figure out how to get an even cut. Multiple times going over the lawn, back and forth makes it difficult. Next week when I cut I'll try cutting in different directions like you did.
Thanks for watching! I hope it works out for you. Please let me know how it goes.
Thanks for making this video!!! I found it much more helpful than any thing else out there, especially for a guy like me that it just trying to mow his lawn without making an art piece out of it.
I just moved into a place where I am responsible for lawn care. Previously I lived on a seven acre hobby farm where the "lawn" was really just mowed permaculture. I loved the look of that vs. the typical fake-looking suburban Hank Hill style lawn. Very similar to what you have going with the clover. The lawn in our new place is similar, with lots of weeds and native plants (the previous tenant hadn't taken care of it for a very long time, maybe years) and I like your approach with keeping the grass longer to help it do its own thing. The landlord did mow right before we moved in (actually he did a huge amount of work, removing all kinds of overgrown shrubs and vines), but not owning a mower and the bustle of moving, having a newborn to take care of, etc., etc., the grass hasn't been mowed in almost a month. I'm picking up a push mower this weekend and am going to try your method!!
Thanks for your commend and I am glad the video helped. Good luck with the push reel mower, I hope you like it and that it fits your needs. I try to grow an organic lawn, which means it will have no pesticide or herbicide and it will have weeds in it. It is not meant to look like the typical weed-free, sprayed lawn that many homes emulate. I have other videos on my organic lawncare playlist that you may like. Thanks again for your comment and congratulations on the newborn!
Shorter grass promotes deeper root development - keeping grass longer negates need for grass to access as many nutrients via the root system.
HI!!! Thanks for this video. I have a beautiful LM Lawn, which I planted from seeds. I bought a push mower, because of the beautiful cut. However ... I live in a very rainy area of South Africa, and can't mowe my lawn for weeks!! I was on the brink of changing to an electric mower when I came across your video. Can't wait to get home to try this. :-)
Glad to help out. I hope it works out for you. Using a push reel mower is difficult on wet grass in the rain. Try starting at the highest setting and cut off small clippings at a time. Let me know how it works for you. Good luck!
i agree keep the grass cut left a decent height longer as u say less watering but will still from time to time especially in mega warm summer days
We got 4 mowers a real mower exactly like yours a two craftsmen self propelled mowers a toro and when i mowed my yard today i keped the adjustment at the same level and mowed the tall grass when i was done i set the mower to the second notch to lower an inch then i mowed again then i set it to the lird notch witch is low as it goes then i mowed again and i kept it at the lowest and did the front wich looks quit good
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy the push mower and the height adjustment. It is a good idea to make sure the cuttings are short so they can decompose. I cut my grass short like that when I overseed. But generally, I keep the height adjustment high. In my opinion, there are benefits to long grass-more photosynthesis, shading the soil, crowding out weeds, deeper roots, less water. However, in this video, the grass is extra long because I skipped a regular mowing or two. Please check out my organic lawcare playlist, I have other videos there you may enjoy.
Great tips, glad if you can help me out by answering some questions:
- Did you plant the clovers yourself or did they come naturally. Also do they come back after winter?
- Do you water the lawn, if so how often?
- My reel mower leaves some uncut pieces behind like dandelion flowers? How do you deal with that?
Thanks for your questions. I include clover seed often when I overseed with grass, so most of that clover is intentional. They help add nitrogen to the lawn and supplement the grass. I love the way they look. They do come back after the winter. I don't water the lawn unless I overseeded recently-then I water it with a hose each day for two weeks. For dandelions, I try to hand pick them periodically and put them in the compost pile when they come out. However, I don't mind if there are weeds in my lawn-if there are a few weeds and my reel mower cuts then, I just leave them on the lawn. Please check out my other organic lawncare videos on my playlist.
Hi thanks for sharing this video! It really helps me a lot if I should buy one or not. Thanks for the help! God bless
Thanks! I hope it helped out.
My recommendation... get a power mower. Not for your primary mower. I used a reel mower for a while, and if the yard went 2 weeks between mowings (due to work, weather, etc), the reel mower would never get some of the weeds that popped up. I had to go over it with a power mower. I'd keep the power mower empty of gas, and only use it two or three times a year when the reel mower just won't do the job. Your lawn looks very weed-free, so this may not apply to you, but it would apply to anyone who has weeds. Now I have WAY too much lawn to mow with one of these. I have a large riding mower, but I DO still love the cut you get with a reel mower. If I ever get my lawn in the shape I want it, I may switch to a gang reel setup.
Very lovely and mowing.
This was a very nice example. Thank you!!
Glad it helped! I have an organic lawncare playlist on my youtube channel that you may enjoy.
Oh boy, here I am looking for videos on cutting high grass, everyone saying their grass is out of control and really tall...
Here I am with grass up to my hips😳 guess I need to just have someone Bushhog my yard and then keep up with it myself 😩
Thanks for watching Mindy. This push reel mower can be used for tall grass, like 6-8 inches, but once it is too tall, it does not work well. I mow regularly, once every week or two, and this push reel mower works well for me. Do you need to mow all the grass short? Some people only mow a part of their lawn they want to use, and leave the rest tall like a meadow. It may be easier to maintain that way. I have other organic lawncare videos on a playlist.
@@vilramos I don't need it all short, but where I live now is an open field.
No trees, and almost every day we have strong high winds.
When I look out and see tall dead grass and weeds around 2-3 foot high, all I see is a fire hazard.
I just want it cut short mainly to slow the spread of a wild fire from getting to my animals or my house if that situation comes up.
I just have a hard time with gas mowers, so I went a bought a reel mower, so when I get it under control and cut down, i can go out and keep what I want cut under control myself.
I do keep and like to have a natural spot for wildlife to breed and enjoy their time by me as well, so I always make sure to keep them in mind as I do things 🙂
Thanks for this video it helped me out alot
Mindy, thank you for your comments. I am glad you tried out a reel mower and I hope you enjoy it for your lawn. One reel mower at a time and hopefully we can change the world. I prefer the reel over a power mower.
Good cardio ✌
i live near the water in florida and my yard has very tall weeds, they just fold down and pop back up. do you have any tips for that? I love my reel mower but i actually bought the reel mower to keep the tall weeds down between visits from the lawn guy. and it seems useless.
Stephanie, in this video, I am cutting my grass/clover which is as tall as 5-6 inches and cutting it back to 3-4 inches at the highest setting. I try to cut my lawn weekly, but if I skip a week, this happens. For the weeds you describe, it sounds like they are much taller than 6 inches and that may be why they are just being rolled over and not cut. Are they in your lawn or on the edges in your flower beds? Without knowing your lawn, here are a few options for you are: use an electric or manual hedge trimmer to cut them out, pull them out manually and overseed more grass/clover (or other FL complement) seed to crowd out the weeds, check the acidity of your lawn to see if you need to add lime to correct pH to promote healthy grass and kill weeds, add organic fertilizer/compost to help your grass grow. I do not like using herbicide because of its dangers. I hope this helps!
great tips. thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
3rd pass
I've subbed to your channel. Great videos and nice music to boot! I had a chuckle over your "long grass" bit. You should see my yard after a week missed (granted, I'm in at the start of the southernmost growing zone in the US in a fairly humid and sunny area, so my yard grows like a field). I'm actually looking for a new push mower; my back hard is... not worth trying to get the big riding mower in there.
Thanks for the comment! And good luck on your lawnmower search. I love my reel mower. If you try it, I hope it can do well with your longer grass. I think you are right-our grass is not as long.
nice.
Wonder if I could use my scooter to propell it. For me grass always wet and long
I think a scooter will be difficult since you have to hold the handles of both the mower and the scooter, but try it out and see what happens. :) It is easier to mow the grass when it is dry and mow frequently so that the clippings are small and the grass does not get too tall. Tall grass is difficult to cut and the mower may just roll over them without cutting them if too tall...
@@vilramos ya no way, nice dream tho
😀
Will this catch tall seed sprouts? My lawn can be 1-2 inches tall and have 12-20 inch shoots. Wouldn't even need to cut if it wasn't for the shoots🤣
It will not cut grass or weeds that are too tall, like 10 inches or more. What happens is the mower will just roll over them but the long leaves will not come into the cutting area between the reel and the cutting bar, so you have to mow regularly, once a week or once every two weeks at least.
@@vilramos thank you for the info. These grass shoots grow an inch everyday and are driving me crazy
Great video 👍
Awesome video, sir! Thank you!
Thank you for this! My yard is on a slope, and I have new Zoysia grass (installed a few months ago). I found that Zoysia grass blades cut better with reel than rotary because they’re so tough. (Rotary rips the tops too easily.) I’ve been considering one of these manual push reel mowers, but my concerns are, 1) How easy will it be for me on a sloped yard? I do like a good workout, but I am not as inherently as strong as many of the men working on their lawns. 2) How safe would it be for me mowing on a slope with this? I’ve heard mowing on slopes can be dangerous too. I assume this is the safest mower for slopes since it’s not powered? 3) Is my Zeon Zoysia grass too tough for a manual reel? I realize I may need to just try it first, but wanted to get your opinion. This will be my first time mowing on my own if I get a manual reel mower. (I hired lawn services with rotary mowers previously). Thank you! 😊
I think it would work ok, assuming the slope is not too steep. You can angle the direction of your mow in a direction they is horizontal or diagonal to the slope so it is not to steep. And like you said the reel blades cut better and may be healthier for you. I am not familiar with zoysia grass but it should work well. This mower is not to expensive so try it out. And if your lawn is modest in size and you mow once a week, I think you will enjoy it. Low maintenance, easy to sue, quiet, no gasoline or fumes. If some areas are too steep for you, perhaps consider a different ground cover for those areas? I hope this helps!
So wjat do you with the long pieces that end up slipping beneath the blades and go unscathed?
When grass is long I try to do multiple passes. But if there are long grass left, I hand pull them or cut them with a hedge trimmer. But if I can mow regularly I only have a few instances of long long grass like that.
This was such a helpful video ❤️
Thanks! I am glad you found it helpful. I have a natural lawn so I have fun with it and treat it as one of my hobbies.
Very good video, thank you
Yeah here's my tip get you're kids to do it lol
Thank you!
Great video! How do you cut the edges of your lawn? Specifically the edges that butt up against a wall or fence or line of rocks? I find that the wheels on the sides of my push mower create a couple inches of clearance between that edge and the reel, which leaves a strip of long grass along the edge of my lawn. Any tips for dealing with that?
Thank you for watching! For the edges, I use a pair of manual hedge trimmers (large giant scissors). Make sure the grass is dry. It is not easy, so I don't cut the edges too often, but it suffices for me. I like using the manual mower and leaving the edges with a more natural, untrimmed look. I also do have an electric weed wacker, but have not used that in years... Please check out my organic lawncare playlist and consider subscribing if you like my videos. Thanks!

Thanks for the video!
I would like to buy a manual lawn mower.
Can you please suggest a model (value for orice) fora modest size of lawn garden?
I use the Scott’s 20 inch manual lawn mower in this video. You can buy one on Amazon or in Home Depot. I hope you enjoy using it!
can this be used for cutting tall grass
In this video, after two weeks of no mowing due to travel, I cut the grass and clover in my lawn that is 5-6 inches long. It takes a lot of work and several passes. If grass is longer than that it is possible mower will just ride over the grass blade without cutting it. You will need to cut it by some other method if it is too long. Beat to mow once a week or so.
Thank You🌻
You are welcome! Check out my organic lawn care playlist. You may enjoy the videos.
Does this work on taller grass? like when its around my knees
No I do not believe it will work for grass that tall. It will just ride over it because the long grass won’t fit in between the cutter bar and the blades. You will need to borrow someone’s rotary mower and then use this. If you mow once a week you will be able to keep the lawn manageable.
@@vilramos I experienced it, but thanks! Next time I'll try again when its not that tall yet!
What can I do mine pushes the grass down and does cut the taller stuff
Do you mean to say it will not cut the taller stuff? Try setting mower at highest setting the mow with several passes. If this fails, this may be due to the grass being too long for the blades to slice and the mower then just rolls over them without cutting them. I would recommend borrowing an electric or gas mower and mow it down to 3 inches and then if you want to continue using the push reel, mow regularly at every week or two. I hope this helps.
@@vilramos yea. It won't won't cut the taller stuff. I just got this so I can cut my grass when it's later out. My grass in some spots is almost a foot long. I haven't been able to cut it in the last few weeks since I came out of the hospital after nearly dying. My neighbors complained about me using the mower first thing in the morning or at night
This mower is very quiet and I enjoy mowing early in the morning without waking anyone up. A foot long would be too long for this mower so try gas powered mower to shorten it and then maintain it with this one. I hope you are healthy and recovered now. Sorry to hear about the health scare.
Hello I have a feel clover lawn here in Dallas Texas. How high can your mower cut? I'm looking to cut at 4"-6" thank you
This lawnmower cuts 1-4 inches with the use of two levers. I use the highest setting in this video. I hope that helps.
@@vilramos hi thanks! is it this: www.amazon.com/Scotts-2000-20-20-Inch-Classic-Mower/dp/B00004RA3E/ref=sr_1_3?crid=XI23TXC1TDAA&dchild=1&keywords=scotts+reel+mower&qid=1628470340&sprefix=scotts+reel%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-3
it says only up to 3" though. can you link your mower for me?
Yes that is the new version of this mower. It says 1-3 inches but when I cut my grass at the highest setting I would say it is 4 inches tall after mowing. I hope that helps.
@@vilramos oh ok great, thank you very much vil :)
Good luck! I like mowing at the heighest setting and I mow once a week. This keeps the clippings small, about 1-2 inches and the grass blades left are 3-4 inches. My clover survives. If you let the grass or clover get too long like 8 inches or more the reel mower won’t be able to cut them, it will just roll over them.
I'm just gonna replace the grass with moss. :D:D:D
Its Good to mow the grass and let the dead grass stay on the live Grass. It gives them vitamins ect
You did not show how to adjust the height to high.
The adjustment levers are next to the small wheels. You can move them to different notches to adjust the height of the cutting blade to suit your preferences.
@@vilramos What is the best height for a newly installed sods? My push reel lawn mower has 1 to 6 .
@@vilramos When you said you cut your grass as tall as possible, is that no. 1 or 6 height?
Thanks.
@@mtnluvr sorry, my mower is old and is not labeled with numbers for the height. Try out different settings and look at how high your mower is from the ground or look at how long the grass clippings are. Key is to cut approx 1/3 of the grass length. So my grass is usually 4-5 inches long and I cut it down to 3-4 inches approx. I cut it at the maximum height most of the time. Some times, I will make my second pass at a lower height if I know I will be traveling for a week and may miss my weekly mow. Or I may cut it shorter if I am overseeding with grass.
I bought the same push mower, but I returned it because certain weeds that it wouldn't cut. 🤷♀️
Thanks for the comment and thanks for trying it out and sorry it didn’t work for you.
How long does it usually take you to mow?
It usually takes 30 minutes. Quick. Sometimes I am even faster than my other neighbors who use gas powered mowers or electric mowers. Thanks for the question.
Fences are hard.
Yes, it will be difficult to mow grass near fences with this mower or any other mower. It may be better to use a grass trimmer for fences. I hope this helps.
I want to buy this. How much price for this?
On Amazon, search for Scott's push reel mower, 20 inches wide. Looks like it is $142.91 today. Maybe cheaper on Prime day.
I just bought one tired of gas mowers
Great! It is so simple to use and quiet. Let me know how your first mows go and if you need any more tips.
I still see long grass
Thanks for your comment. I know some people prefer short grass, but I actually mow my lawn at the highest setting for this mower. More photosynthesis to feed the grass, shades the soil and keeps it moist, and allows the grass to focus on growing deeper roots. Recommended height is 3-4 inches for kentucky blue grass and fescue. I probably target the higher end of that range and more.
We are using horse s to cut the grass lol
But I'm looking into buying something like this
I like the push reel mower for modest lawns. It's quiet, low maintenance, no gasoline, noise, or exhaust. If you have horses on your lawn, it may be a big lawn, so keep in mind that it will take time to mow manually. You may just cordon off a small section to mow and leave the rest for those horses?
I'd do the same, but 4 passes, last 2, being super low. Then I'd cut tall... Theory is the real grass will smother weeds and such, being that it can be cut very low without dying... Clover is the bane of my existence. Imma hope for a drought, and cut it so low it hopefully kills it all. Then set it on fire. Then spread the good seed...
You look like rob Snyder but not ugly
Hahaha! Thanks. I think he is a funny actor.
These are too much. I prefer gas and just doing one pass
Not grass bro.... clover yard
GOD Loved you enough too send His Son JESUS for you and if you will believe in Him and at baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT and turn from your sins you will be saved
You need a gas mower or electrical mower
no
Wuss. Real men use manual mowers on anything less than 3/4 of an acre
@@jordanhicks5131 Exactly!...thats what I do.
a push mower works great
Thats not long grass 😂😂🖒
It’s long weeds. 🤦🏾♂️
Sorry friend, that’s not grass
Grass? All I see are weeds.
He explained that is the clover they have those white blooms. Clover is more hardy, requires less water, and is more drought tolerant, than grass. Yields a greener and more eco friendly lawn.

very hard to follow what you're saying with music playing through the entire video. why do you like to distract your viewers like that. do you find it best to divide your viewers attention to make it harder for them to think and follow your dialog? when you were in school, did your teachers play music through the entire lesson?
Pretty easy for my to listen to music and follow what he is saying, and I have ADHD and hearing loss, so.......what's that say about you?
@@jordanhicks5131 GREAT! Since music helps people to hear what he's saying and better understand the product, he should play louder, harder, faster music that you can really shake your booty to so you can REALLY focus on the message and get better understanding of the product!!! CRANK THAT SHIT UP!!! WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA!!!!! And every school should require all their teachers to play music through their entire lesson to help the student focus more and learn better!
@@mrbubetube You provide a nonproductive insulting critique and then when someone insults you, you respond in anger. Now that's hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.
@@mrsmorgann0000 you left out one other important thing. I farted.
