BOSCH AVR 1100 Verti Cutter Lawn Raker

Product Information

Jet Collect’ system – This is innovative from Bosch, the drum has profiled air inlets that helps to not only make the collection of thatch, moss or leaves more effective but also the addition air flow pressure helps to compact the debris into the drum preventing clogging and increasing the amount collected. Next, choose a cutting depth. It takes some experimenting to find the right depth for your lawn, but starting with 1/16 inch ensures you won’t dig up the soil on your first try. If that depth doesn’t do much to the thatch, try 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch. Generally, shorter grass requires a deeper cut, but 1/2 inch is as deep as you’ll ever need to go in the majority of cases. A good rule of thumb to follow is to lightly verticut once a week during the growing season and as needed throughout the rest of the year. Normally I would complain that levers mounted on the front wheels of a lawn rake are always more difficult to adjust than those mounted more centrally, however the design of the height adjustment lever on the Bosch seems to work very well. Bosch have managed to mount the lever out of the way in the front but still allow for the height to be adjusted easily, very nice!

What Is Verticutting Your Lawn? (And The Benefits)

A tractor mounted 48" (1200mm) straight reel Graden sporting 39 blades, this powerful machine is ideal for flat The compact size really will make lawn care much easier and really makes the entire experience much less dependent on you struggling with a heavy over sized lawn rake. Is it smaller and lighter than the Flymo? well, smaller yes, but roughly the same weight. The integrated collection box does make the Flymo smaller for storage but the comprise is the smaller collection box and the need to empty more often. Bosch have tried to compensate for the larger box by making the collection box dismantle into two pieces for smaller storage.To make it even more comfortable to use, the handlebar is height-adjustable and foldable too, for compact storage. Scarifiying your lawn is a great way to get the healthy, lush lawn you want in your garden, and the RLA 240 makes achieving that even easier. Quiet with low vibrations, this cordless scarifier is also simple to use and manoeuvre. The thatch layer develops when the lawn makes more organic debris than it can break down. This allows the organic matter to accumulate, creating the new layer. Both grooming and verticutting use vertical blades but, from a biological standpoint, the similarities end there. Turf groomers and verticutters are not the same. Here are just a few of the differences: This article will take you through when you should verticut your lawn, how to do it, and the benefits. Once you know this information, you will be one step closer to the perfect-looking lawn. What Is Thatch?

Verticutter vs Dethatcher: How Do They Differ? Verticutter vs Dethatcher: How Do They Differ?

Early spring or fall are good times to verticut but the morning or evening after a rain makes it even better. Cooler temperatures and moist soil make the job easier and cause less stress to the grass. Verticutting in autumn, then fertilizing is beneficial for spring growth. Verticutting and reseeding are best done in early spring.Lawn sands can be used, as they contain granules of ferrous sulphate (sulphate of iron) that directly kills moss. However, lawn sand can also discourage earthworms and should be used with discretion – to level low areas, cover exposed tree roots and fix particularly heavy thatch build-up. The sand particles contain no nutrients, so applying layers year after year will eventually reduce your soil’s fertility, as will excessive application of pesticides. The purpose of a lawn rake is to free your lawn from moss, weeds, thatch and leaves, and I can honestly say that once you have used an electric lawn rake you will wonder how you ever managed without one.

A vertical root system grows deeper into the soil, leading to lusher and stronger grass.Yes, I think you are right. If you just want to rake and lightly scarify the lawn, it may be better to use something smaller like the:

If the lawn needs mowing, mow on a low setting and use a bag attachment or rake up the grass clippings. If your grass is matted down, consider verticutting before mowing. This will get the grass standing upright, making it easier to mow evenly. Soft, damp thatch is easier to cut, so water the lawn several days before you start work or prepare to do the work a few days after it rains. 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.
