I have a big lawn and will not be pushing a reel mower. I would go with rock and plants if I could. Having grass is a waist of money and water. This grass does not even look nice yet I have to pay over $100 a month to water it and even more to mow and fertilize it. So my answer is get rid of all the mowers!

I like your approach, as opposed to the king of global warming crap - a former VP. We lived in BNA when he started his push in this direction. I got a kick out of his complaints about our individual carbon footprints while he traveled in private jets, etc. The thing that tickled me the most was an article in The Tennesseean about his electric bill in Nashville. The bill for the outdoor lighting for his home was $1200 per month alone.
