I'm thinking of buying a reel push lawn mower. What are your thoughts?
how would I sharpen the blades?
Just take it to the shop or hardware stores -- they usually sharpen the mower/tool blades.
My father always had one of these and a "regular" motorized push lawn mower. We had over an acre, and this was one of our chores. Just don't let the grass get too high. I always thought the reel mower was cool.
He also always kept a sling blade for the grass/yard/garden.
I think this is a nice green alternative, altho' I can understand why people would not want to do this in a large yard.
And by the way, our yard had a total of 5 terraces, and was NOT landscaped and even!!!
