My grass has some rough spots. I'm planning on overseeding in some areas and filling in dirt and seed in others. I haven't ever fertilized it, although I may start this year (looking to sell the house in a few years, so I need to figure out what's going to work). Haven't decided exactly what to do yet.
I use a reel mower, and it's absolutely fantastic. I don't think I cut the grass any more often than I used to. It does take a bit longer now (45 min instead of 30), but I actually enjoy doing it. The only reason it takes longer is because I want it to be all pretty close to the same length (like the cut you get with a gas powered), so some areas I have to go over from two directions. But, Higgy, you're right, if you let it get to high, it's nearly impossible to cut easily (I have my old gas powered for backup)
