What Is Verticutting and Why You Might Want to Do It - The Spruce

Verticutting can also be considered remedial in that it is a process by which we are trying to reduce, remove or eliminate a problem. The verticutter most often will be a stand alone rotating shaft. This is really useful if your grass is used as a pitch for sports, where a flat and even playing surface is vital. It will also make scarifying your lawn in the autumn easier and reduces the likelihood of your lawn sustaining any damages. What Are The Benefits Of Verticutting Your Lawn? For a 300m2 you could also consider the more powerful VonHaus 2 in 1 Lawn Scarifier (1800 W model) as this allows you to switch drums between tines or blades.

A three-year grooming study on overseeding in the USA resulted in improved turf health, autumn colour retention and spring green-up.

If you just want to rake and lightly scarify the lawn, it may be better to use something smaller like the: Moss typically grows in damp, shady areas and can pose a big problem for gardeners. This is because when left too long it forms dense mats which creep across your lawn, competing for valuable nutrients and moisture and hindering grass growth. Moss also prevents rainfall from reaching grass roots and can impede mowing with excessive build-up, jamming lawnmower blades. Verticutting can also help to save water, which is especially useful in the summer months or during periods of drought. This is because any moisture that reaches the ground can more efficiently make its way into the root systems.

Once you know this information, you will be one step closer to the perfect-looking lawn. What Is Thatch? The collection box on the Bosch attaches to the rear of the rake (like a lawn mower), this is the reason Bosch can achieve such a large collection box. The Flymo’s collection box is more integral to the rake, reducing the capacity. The advantage for the Flymo is smaller overall dimensions and the disadvantage is the relatively small collection storage. Thatch is a loose layer of decaying grass and organic matter. This is typically found just above the surface of the soil. It is made up of dead and living plant shoots, roots, and stems and is below the layer of the grass blades. The depth of the attachments can be easily adjusted between 7.5mm above the ground to 9.5mm below the ground.Try to avoid fertilizing the lawn for around 45 days before verticutting. Any sooner than this, and much of the fertilizer will still be sitting on the lawn’s surface, adding bulk the verticutter has to cut through. With their revolutionary Fan-Force® Tungsten tipped blades spaced at just 10mm apart, the Verticutter Cassettes will remove and vacuum up an incredible amount of thatch. You should prepare your lawn for verticutting by watering it 2 or 3 days before you try to verticut. The increased moisture content of the soil will make the verticutting much easier to complete. If you do not want to waste water, wait for mild rainfall before verticutting.

I decided to compare it to the Flymo Lawnrake Compact 3400 Electric Lawnrake to understand what makes either of these electric rakes stand out in terms of performance, build quality and value for money. Both the Bosch and Flymo are of a similar price and size (32cm and 34cm rake width), both use a cylinder rake, however, the Bosch has slightly more power at 1100 W compared to 750 W of the Flymo.To be honest, for this light use the Flymo Compact 3400 would be sufficient. Yes the Bosch build quality is superior but for such light use the Flymo is quite a bit cheaper and has 6 height adjustments (-0.5 to 0.8).
