when was the reel lawn mower invented?
A lawn mower (often spelled as one word—lawnmower) is a type of mower, used to cut grass to an even length on a smaller scale. Mowers were invented in Britain in 1830 by Edwin Beard Budding, primarily to cut the lawn on sports grounds and expansive gardens. Since many sports had just been invented in Britain that required a flat soft ground (such as croquet, cricket, soccer and rugby), a more efficient way of making uniform length grass was needed, and so the mower was born. The design from 1830 is of a reel mower, and it was manually powered. Nowadays most are engine powered.
