@themediterraneangardener: How to scarify your lawn in Spring. Over time, the base of a lawn becomes congested with thatch and moss which inhibits airflow around the grass. And moss, if left to flourish, can take hold entirely. Before you scarify, mow the lawn - this will give you better access to the thatch and make the while process easier. Using a spring tine rake gently pull the rake back multiple times while criss crossing your way over the lawn. Mechanical scarifiers do the same job with reduced time and effort. Be careful to set it to the right height so the bladed scarifying drum can do the work. We want to keep some thatch so don’t scarify too deeply, below 1cm deep of thatch is good. Now scoop it all up, aerate and over seed your lawn #lawn #lawncare #lawnscarification #lawnscarifier #gardentok

Don’t dethatch your lawn lol aeration’s do a better job because dethatching removes healthy grass and nutrients!

I scarified with a rake 4 weeks ago and cut the grass today. It still has dead grass/thatch. Is it ok to rake again?

scarify is a much cooler word than thatch.

you are spreading the moss spores, you have to kill the moss first
