@kingposeidon9362 Жыл бұрын
Tall fescue does not tend to accumulate thatch. It appears that what he is removing is what is sometims referred to as "debris", which consists of grass clippings, tree debris (twigs, nuts/seeds, mulched leaves), dead grass/weeds, etc. Despite the name of the SunJoe tool, I think that it is really better described as a power rake versus a dethatcher, at least when using the attachment with tines. The scarifier attachment could be used as a true dethatcher (i.e., removing a true thatch layer (not just lawn debris) for those grasses that do tend to accumulate thatch or it could be used as a verticutter, which can be beneficial for rhizomatous or stoloniferous grasses. For tall fescue, after power raking with the tines attachment, I would use the scarifier attachment to dig grooves in the soil to improve the seed-to-soil contact for the overseeding.
