I would like to remove two metal clothesline poles in my backyard. I was thinking of doing it by digging around the poles and cutting using a reciprocating saw.
Is this a decent method? It may be important to note that I would be using a Ryobi battery powered saw, which may not have the same oomph that electric saws have. The pole is shown in the back by the fence.
Should I be buying a particular blade for metal? I am a bit of a noob.

IMO the best option is to dig The whole thing out.
A sabre saw with the right blade will cut it but you'll be left with 5cm+ of jagged pipe sticking out of the ground.
A grinder will cut it down further and tidy the edges, but will still be ugly.
Get digging.
