      I've used the reel mowers and the drawback is that they don't cut long grass very well, so you're stuck in a loop of having to cut it more frequently. Not bad for a small yard like the one he's shaving though.

    • @vincentvega8337
      @vincentvega8337 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually the only reason that it looks yellow is because this type of grass (regardless of watering) needs the sun to be green so anything under the canopy will be yellow but with the sun and the same amount of watering it will be green very soon, also to prevent this you need to cut your grass more often and remove no more than 1/3 of the blade when mowing. These cultural practices will keep you lawn green and healthy.

    Scalping your grass is so bad for you lawn. Weeds grow faster then grass so when your grass is short it allows weeds to take over.
