Save Energy, Reduce Green House Gases, and Exercise! Use Man Power and Solar and Wind Power!
Seriously, I was at my ex-wife's home in Atlanta where her lawn mower was stolen. My ex-wife was cleaning the carpet in order to rent the home out. The grass is already knee to waist high. I was there just to turn the water on from the main. I decided while I was waiting I would kill some time and grabbed the swing blade from the garage and take on the grass. At some point the idea to write this article came to mind. Before I get into the meat of the subject, I will mention that when we first moved into the house in 2000, the builder only did grass about 10 feet into the back yard. The yard is almost an acre in the back and most of it was weeds. The weeds ended up over my chest and I am six feet tall. I did not have access to a tractor. I purchased the swing blade and 7 days later was planting grass seeds. I also felt energized from all the exercise I was getting.
