Keep your lawn looking its best all autumn long, here is the secret

With the recent deluge the grass is growing vigorously again. But even the seemingly healthiest lawn can be held back by mosses and dead grass and flat growing weeds.

These can stop moisture and nutrients penetrating to the roots, inhibit growth and stop the lawn looking its best.

Time was when we’d reach for a tined rake and spend hours pulling it across the lawn to loosen and collect all the rubbish, but this was back-breaking work.

Machines which can do this are now widely available; and ask any gardener who has one and he or she will tell you the very visible results which result.

Lawns need to be scarified regularly is they are to look their best and this on, the Einhell GC-SC 2240P Petrol Lawn Scarifier has been a best seller for years as it offers such excellent value for money.

This German-engineered machine is suitable for lawns up to 1000m2 in area and has 18 steel blades which revolve to ease out the moss, surface weeds and dead grass.

Don’t be worried if the lawn looks a bit of a mess immediately afterwards, the grass will quickly grow back to fill in the places where the moss and weeds were and will grow more vigorously.

A 118cc engine turns the blades and although it is not self-propelled the action of the blades on the grass ease the machine along making it very easy to use and direct.

There are six height settings, so start with it set fairly high and reduce the height once you’ve seen the results.

And the first time you use it, leave the off the collection box and rake up the debris.

It costs £249.95, £400 below the recommended price and has a two-year warranty from Einhell.

We deliver it free the next working day.

This one is for smaller lawns but will not only scarify but aerate as well.

The Al-Ko Comfort 38E Combi-Care Electric Aerator / Scarifier has two cassettes with the first a scarifier with 24 sprung steel hooks to pull out moss and dead grasses.

The second cassette has 14 steel blades which cut small slits in the lawn to allow moisture and nutrients to penetrate to the roots.

A 1300w electric motor provides the power and it comes with a 55 litre box to catch the rubbish when in use as a scarifier.

The bottom of the machine has a smooth finish which helps it slide along and makes it easier to clean.

This one costs £169, has a two-year warranty and we deliver it for free the following working day.
