Anyone with a lush verdant lawn will tell you the secret to keeping grass growing and healthy is regular scarifing to pull out dead grasses and moss.
From our experience we think a scarifier is one of the most borrowed pieces of garden equipment and this machine could make you popular with your neighbours.
And it will make a gift any gardener would be very happy to receive.
Einhell petrol scarifier
It costs just £279.95, a full £200 off the manufacturer’s recommended price and comes with a two year warranty.
This machine has 18 double sided blades and has a 45 litre catcher for all the rubbish it pulls out.
But remember any moss or thatch pulled out should be removed by rake the first time.
It has a reliable 118 cc petrol engine, a 40 cm working width and the height can be adjusted to six settings.
The handles fold down and the canvas catcher collapses for ease of storage. It will easily fit into the boat of a car, a point your friends will be quick to point out.
