The lawns are now growing strongly in spite of the lack of rain in certain areas. It seems that any sharp shower induces a huge spurt of growth and prompts us to fire up the mower.
But now is the time to take a closer look as you will often see that the new growth is not what it should be and there is a mat of last year’s dead grass holding back the new growth, and that needs to be removed.
Einhell scarifier
The Einhell BG-SC 2240P Petrol Lawn Scarifier is a really powerful machine which can deal with dead grasses and moss easily.
It is the best value scarifier in its class, benefits from German engineering and is reliable, easy to start and easy to use.
Eighteen double sided steel blades are powered by a 118 cc engine and the rubbish is deposited in a 45 litre box at the rear. There are six height settings.
This scarifier costs £279.95 – £200 less than the manufacturer’s recommended price – and arrives delivered free the next working day.
But please bear in mind that orders placed over the holiday period will not be processed until the Tuesday.
