I use one...and have St Augustine...and it gets long. Â LOLIf you let St Augustine get long and thick, it can be pretty hard to push it through. Â Generally when that happens I'll take smaller swipes and then come back down the same path so it gets cut twice. Â I have one spot in my yard where that wire grass likes to sprout up. Â Sometimes I have to cut past that and then pull the mower backwards over the wire grass to bend it back so it gets in the blade. Â It's not too big a deal. Â I love pretty much everything about mine except for the fact that sweet gum balls will bring it to an instant stop. Â You just have to spin the blade backwards with your foot but it can throw off your mojo if you have a good pace going.To be sure, they are not as easy as using a gas mower but I like the workout and I like being able to cut my grass at 7am without my neighbors throwing rocks at me.
@shodan66:
Sounds like a great way to get some exercise! I'm not usually a morning person, so I need something that will keep my neighbors from throwing rocks at me when I try to mow at 11pm
What kind do you use? I'm taking a poll lol. Better yet, you wanna go shopping with me? LOL!
