Have been using a Fiskars momentum push reel mower for a few years and am happy with it.
After mowing, I plug in my electric weed eater and do the tricky spots that the mower misses. This consists mostly of planting bed edges and the extra-long grass blades that the mower just rolls over without cutting.
But now I want to retire my weed eater. I'm thinking about using a scythe for the edges and long grasses. All the advice websites I've found so far are saying that you should use a scythe to mow the entire lawn. This sounds like a good idea, but I don't expect to give up my push reel any time soon.
Anyone have experience with using a non-power tool for edges and long grass blades?
