However, in the meantime, the lawn has been neglected. Residue from mowing, dead grass and roots have formed a spongy layer at the bottom of the lawn surface. This is an ideal breeding ground for fungi and germs. This layer also retains water, so that the soil remains permanently moist, with this slowing down the growth of the grass. However, moist subsoil is also an ideal biotope for moss. This results in moss, weeds and grass all competing with each other in an effort to grow. Under these adverse conditions, a common type of grass such as English rye-grass, will often find itself being oppressed.Now that we’ve got a better idea of what these machines do, along with how and when to use them, let’s review the pros and cons of the verticutter and dethatcher. Verticutter Pros Efficient application: “Jet-Collect System” with special airflow inlets gives fast and efficient collection of moss & thatch from the lawn Sometimes there are also stolons (also known as “runners”) mixed in with the clippings, along with dead leaves, twigs, dirt blown in from far-off places and more. The stolons are particularly problematic, because leaving them in place will promote weed growth and accelerate the process of lawn degradation. This is where it pays to know the difference between verticutting and dethatching. Whether you use a verticutter or dethatcher will depend mostly on the type of thatch you’re dealing with. If it’s a heavy thatch made up mostly of clippings you’ll want to use a dethatcher. If it’s a moderate thatch but includes stolons/runners you’ll want to break out the verticutter. Just make sure that no matter which one you use, that you don’t use it too early or late in the season, under the scorching sun, or when the lawn is dried out or sopping wet.

The best time to use the verticutter is in the late summer or fall while the lawn is still growing. You should not use the verticutter in mid-summer when the lawn is constantly baked by the summer sunshine, or during dry periods because verticutting will make the grass more susceptible to fungi or disease. For the record, some homeowners will use the verticutter in the springtime. While there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this approach using it later in the year is more likely to produce optimal results. Verticutting is not the only technique that can remove thatch from your lawn. By far, the simplest is to use a rake. However, this method is incredibly labor-intensive, slow and impractical, especially for those with large lawns. Another option is to use a dethatcher. However, dethatchers will often damage turf of different varieties. Bosch was created in 1886 in Stuttgart, Germany by Robert Bosch who formed the business to specialise in the manufacture of electronic components.
