Using a reel mower
I had my first trial today using a reconditioned reel mower I recently
purchased. I am interested in any tips experienced reel mower user have for
a good cut.
My first attempt was mixed. It took a little while to find a good cutting
height (some areas of the lawn got scalped) and I noted one end of the blade
didn't cut well (blades are sharp however) as it had some stone damage at
some point.
My lawn is also a little undulating so it skipped across several points and
bent the grass flat rather than taking a uniform slice off. The grass was
also damp which may have affected it.
The cut grass, especially clover, however I noticed was more finely sliced
than using a rotary.
ANything I should be doing/not doing?
