    hi Robbie. I cut my lawn at the lowest level and gave it a 4 in 1 feed . to scarifier it I took off the lawnmower blade and replaced it with a scarifier attachment... it took out 100% of thach.. then over seeded ... results are amazing 👏

      Just to say not everyone can afford a scarifier machine but the attachment to the lawnmower blades is less than €20 and you also collect the thach on the bag .. thanks from westmeath @@Premier_lawns_official

      You can't use a weed control product and seed at the same time, best to follow the instructions on the fertilizer packet for the best advice on that

  • @christalball93_
    @christalball93_ Рік тому

    If i have new grass planted among old grass (I overseeded), how long do i have to wait to mow, and to scarify since it is spongy too. I removed most moss by hand previously and reseeded whole area. Most moss is gone but lawn is thin so ive overseeded again. Now i have to let the new grass grow in a bit before i mow. Id like to scarify later in the fall but i dont want to rip out all the grass i just planted?

      In a perfect world yes it should be cut before hand. The professional tools let us do it regardless. We wouldn't have the time to cut a lawn beforehand.
      Not sure people would want to pay the extra either.

      If you are planning on cutting at 15mm you would be much better off with a cylinder mower.
