Mowing Your Lawn - The Old School Way

I was debating between  gas powered lawn mower and a hand reel mower. One is powered by gas, the other is a manual rotary blade. It is a small yard so it is the right choice for me. I can use it any time I want because its quiet. It doesn't pollute, nor does it require any gas. A good article about mowing is http://artofmanliness.com/2012/05/23/in-praise-of-the-push-reel-mower/

I recently bought a hedge trimmer, hand reel mower and a leaf blower.

The mower I bought was http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000139Q56/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00. Its not bad, but I kind of wish I spent the extra $20 for the greenworks one. I was struggling as to figure out whether or not to leave the clippings, but after reading several articles it seems ok to leave the clippings there... in fact its actually good for the grass.
