Excellent advice Robbie. As you say at the beginning though, you have the professional tools. I have an electric mower, but a manual scarifier, manual aerator and no spreader. I couldn't do this all in two days never mind one. Would I get the same results over a four week period.

@Premier_lawns_official 2 жыл бұрын

Assuming you do it at the right time of year, yes I think so

@aprilgeneric8027 2 жыл бұрын

yes. aerate at the end of april, immediately after the first mow in may hit the lawn with the scarifier and if it takes you 2 more weeks it takes you to more weeks just break it into manageable sections that you can get up all the loose material right away. if it sits ontop of the grass for more than 3 days blocking the light and rotting it will kill what ever it is covering over 4 weeks and you will see alot of die back after 4 days to a week so it's best to get it cleaned off as fast as possible. don't kill yourself keep it manageable to a 1-2 day clean up if not a same day. you might get a pell of rain that can set you back atleast a week or a week and a half. this is why i give the warning about letting it sit, once the thatch starts to rot out it spreads out the rot and kills everything in contacts which puts disease in direct contact with the ground root system and then you will see huge problems.

Another great video. I cut, hand weeded, then machine raked, and scarified my lawn last month. Just after the last frost and the lawn temp was 15 degrees. Then treated with nematodes for leather jackets at double strength. Seeded with grass seed which is just starting to grow. I'll do this again in Autumn. My question is that I have to aerate my lawn manually. I just use a garden fork. The lawn isn't big enough to justify hiring or buying a machine so it's a lot of effort. How often do you recommend aerating a lawn? Many thanks (Liked this vid and already a subscriber)

Correct me if I'm wrong but It appears that you de-thatched the lawn using a spinning tine blade. It didn't look scarified by a spinning circular blade. Scarifying would have scraped up much more material. Show the viewers what the spinning blade looks like. Also, you can use a leaf rake just as easily as a metal rake to collect the waste.

@KB996 8 ай бұрын

Hi Kieran, I was like you until I watched Robbies videos. I started by mowing short at 30mm, then set my sacrifice at its shallower setting, it's an electric one made by Cobre, it has two interchangeable from, one with blades, the other with flailing tines, i used the blades one. I did the first pass and then a second st about 30 degrees to the first pass. Shifted a lot of thatch but blades did not leave the lines that the videos showed, so set it to the next setting and did two passes over the original ones. It looked fierce but found the trick was to keep the machine going slowly, this resulted in the lines showing clearly. Then I hand seeded at 35mg per square metre, lawn is approx 40 square metres, so not a big lawn. This was done 8 days back and I have shoots showing already. Today I added an Autumn fertilizer by hand. I guess what I am getting at is start at shallower setting and see how that goes, after all, you have to break eggs to make an omelette!! Hope it goes well👍 Kev

Why do you use American equipment, I think the UK has some really nice lawn mowers like the swordman Electra.
