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. Because the cuts are so shallow, they don’t reach far enough below the soil to damage the grass’ roots. This makes verticutting ideal for light annual dethatching. It’s also helpful to prepare the lawn for overseeding. The thin, shallow grooves the blades cut into the turf create an ideal seedbed. The blades can be set high to break up overgrown stolons and rhizomes, encouraging the grass to put out more leaves and create a denser turf.

Below you will learn about all the great (and not so great) features of the Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter. This verticutter is built in the UK. Why dose this matter? well, customer service, warranty, quality and the availability of spare parts are second to none. A floating head pedestrian Graden with the ability to inject sand through a gravity feed system. Wider and faster Moss spores in April and September, so the best time to kill moss is in early spring and early autumn (when there is enough warmth, fertiliser and moisture available for the grass to recover). The most widespread method is to apply a moss treatment or chemical moss killer before raking the moss out a week later. An alternative method is to rake first then use a lawn moss killer to remove the remaining moss. However, filling spreaders and sprayers with moss control products or weed killers will not 100% get rid of moss on your lawn.Does this make it more practical than it’s closest competition? well, yes I think it does for people with smaller lawns and limited space for storage with the ability to get the job done without emptying the collection box as often. There is also a very handy and well positioned central handle that makes carrying the 10 kg rake to the garage or shed very easy. Of course this is open to interpretation so if you don’t fall under every single one then don’t worry I’m sure you’ll still love this product. It has loads of great features that I’m sure you make use of even if you’re not its perfect customer. The Bosch AVR 1100 is equipped with one 32cm drum with 14 rotating BOR steel blades that gives them two very effective benefits…

On the other hand, the groomer, an attachment in combination with the spider reel, makes up the principal cutting units of a reel mower. I have been very impressed with the Hyundai petrol mowers in terms of quality and aftersales support. 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. Among the most user-friendly moss removal solutions currently available are the following Bosch scarifiers:While reels cut horizontally to clip the vertical growth, the grooming blade is designed to reach down into the turf canopy below the normal height of cut and remove horizontal runners and organic material. As these are removed, the plant is stimulated to develop new growth from the true plant crown. The lateral growth of the turf is then minimised and the new growth is more vertical. This ultimately redesigns the turf canopy, opening it to allow for improved water penetration, soil gas exchange and a drier environment, reducing the likelihood of leaf diseases. The newer plant growth is healthier and more resilient to both biotic and abiotic stresses. The raking diameter of this lawn rake may seem a little on the small side with only a 32cm capability, that is 2cm smaller than its rival the Flymo. Now, compared to it’s other counterparts with widths of up to 43cm, this might be a potential disadvantage; however, it could also be beneficial if it’s to be used in a smaller areas and lawns with more narrow strips. Over the years, I have honed my skills in writing informative articles and creating helpful videos for various blogs and publications. This has given me the ability to not only recognise what makes a good lawn mower, but also to help you choose the perfect garden tool for your specific needs and requirements. Below I’ll be detailing all the features and functions of the Bosch AVR 1100, both good and not so good and then comparing to the Flymo so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your money.
