Now is the time to start considering some light to medium invasive remedial maintenance to the lawn.
Raking out the thatch and debris that has accumulated over the winter is essential to maintain a green and healthy lawn.
Don't consider regular scarifying as a totally remedial task because frequent scarifying is required if your lawn is to remain as close to its best as possible throughout the season - little and often is the key.
As soon as dead plants and weeds form a layer of thatch, the healthy rich green colour of your lawn disappears - I like to consider the scarifying action as a comb when used regularly rather than a harsh abrasive action.
MTD scarifiers with their specially developed fixed steel blades remove moss and dead plants carefully and efficiently. The aerating of the ground also enables your lawn to absorb sufficient moisture and nutrients to grow healthy.
The MTD VG40BM Petrol Lawn Scarifier / Aerator has a 40cm/16" working width and reliable Briggs & Stratton 3.5 hp engine. The depth of the scarifying process can be centrally adjusted by a single lever to suit conditions and the ergonomically designed handles are fully foldable for compact storage or easy transportation in the boot of your car.
A fabric catcher is included as standard for collecting debris and this model also features a rear metal deflector for safe use without the collection facility. The MTD VG40BM boasts a robust steel deck and weighs 31kg.
