How to Dethatch the Lawn Before Seeding

Those brown spots on your lawn are most likely a stubble and tangled combination of dead grass, roots and leaves. In addition to looking for evil, the top belongs to the grass that stops. Although grass grows almost every season of the year, the fall is the proper time to lay the seed. If you want to increase the grass-seeds to reach the ground, cut the seeds before the plan to extinguish.

What you want to do is pull a single hoe pull healthy grass from the ground back The scraper has a bi-shaped head that is about 15 inches wide. On the one hand, the tubs are for the rooting out of the litter; tines are to be cultivated on the opposite side. Why, then, is the garden a hoe for a hoe?

Dropping a hoe is far better than a gardener’s job of removing culms. Pull the garden straw through the hoe, and you have a full hoe from the top, which you have to pull from the bottom. The hoe is bent so that when you pull the hoe down and the moths are filled with hay, you push the hoe back and the moths are cleaned.

Remove the rake now come with a pivot head, which can be adjusted by loosening two wing nuts. This added power will allow you to adjust the angle of the beam for a higher or shorter beam across the grass. You may want to adjust for a shorter bundle if you have a very thick layer of tops, so the hoe is less likely to be caught or supported by tangled muck. You will need frequent strokes, but they will make it easier.

How to drag it to the grass

Start by trimming to two inches or less. The shorter the height of the grass, the easier it is for you to see the top and the less likely the grass will be rolled around the hoe junction where it could be pulled out of the ground.

Place the hoe on the planting ground, holding the handle as you would if you were using a garden rake. The tines in the mouth of the rake are straight, while the tines on the cultivated side of the hoe are slightly wavy.

Shake the rake to pull yourself down and then push it in the opposite direction to free the top from it. See how well the hoe pulls, use the rake to comb the leaf straw. If there is still a lot of culm left on the ground, you may need to do two or three forward/backward pulls of the cutting hoe to clear the area (or adjust the hoe head). If most or all of the culms are off the ground, move the rake to slightly compact the area you just finished and pull/push the hoe again. Think of the process of separating grass as pushing and pulling a vacuum cleaner.

When you finish the release, you will need to use a leaf rake to collect the hay. So it is intensive work to take down the grass, raise the top and then spread the lawn-seed seed. You will know the work when it looks thicker and greener. By the way, the straw can be used or disposed of elsewhere. Mulch can be spread under plants, piled around roses to protect them for the winter, or for outdoor plants or for use as a mulch topper.
