Acksherly... I use an electric scarifier every couple of years, and make sure that my weed patches, sorry 'lawns', are well drained, by forking them as deep as I can. I avoid using moss killer, as I have fruit trees. Each year the moss gets less, but I leave the moss in one area because bumble bees make their nests in it, believe it or not. Nice vid, thanks.

@stuart7762 День назад

Have used my scarifier to cut down into the thatch, didn’t grab too much out initially but then power raked it. That really dragged loads out. I have used the mo bacter instant, applied with a sprayer. Supposed to kill the moss in 24 hours but I will leave it a week or so before reseeding. And in answer to a previous comment, agreed scarifying isnt a cure for moss but it rectifies the position. Mossy lawns in my experience are due to north facing aspect,shade and inadequate sunlight for the grass to stay robust. So scarifying etc needed every 2to3 years on mine

Why is moss a problem?! It’s lovely.

@jonathanphillips3257 11 месяцев назад

Great instructional video and will no doubt give rise to many people having greener, moss reduced lawns as a result this summer. One thing I do when using the motorised bladed scarifier is leave the bag off and additionally use a bungy cord over the handles with the ends hooked under the edges to hold the rear deflector flap slightly higher, thus preventing the removed moss, etc... from building up on the underside of the scarifier as you go.

Great tip this 👍
