Do you remember those really old grass-cutting contraptions that came before lawn mowers? Here's a photo of my wife, Mariana, using one (not really, she leaves the lawn chores to yours truly)...
Now you know what I'm talking about. I bought that bad boy a few months ago to cut my teeny-tiny little backyard (only a couple hundred square feet). I love it! No motor, no gas, no grease...no problems. Plus, it's super-green (no burning fossil fuels, less material required in manufacturing, etc.). What an elegant solution.
This solution won't work for everyone obviously. If you live in a traditional home, you probably have a bigger yard than mine, and you're probably not trying to mow it with this thing. But that brings into question the whole American suburban lifestyle, and I just don't have the energy to tackle that one today...I mowed the lawn earlier.
