Mowing is one of the great rituals of 20th century America.  There are 93 million U.S. households, and in 61 million of them someone mows the lawn, according to the National Gardening Association in Burlington, Vt..  In 1990, we spent $6.4 billion on our lawns.  We bought 6.8 million new lawn mowers, including 1.1 million riding mowers, reports the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute.
