Value for money: We reviewed all of the above, plus quality and design, the RRP and the length of warranty. In addition to regular mulching or fertilising, garden lawns benefit from being scarified in spring and autumn to get enough "air to breathe".This can be done manually with a lawn rake but this can be a time consuming and energy sapping task.

This is ideal as you can use it throughout the season to keep your lawn nice and healthy for another summer. Now this is not a lever like most models so you can actually make micro adjustable by tuning the dial only small increments at a time, this is great for fine tuning the working depth. Organic matter build up, like moss and grass cuttings (thatch), can prevent any grass seed from growing. To switch between scarifying and aerating, you need to switch between two cassettes, which look like rollers. This process prevents the build-up of surface water which encourages moss growth and compacts the soil.This is good for the soil and the plant, which, in addition to the oxygen, can feel the water all the way to its roots. Quite often marketed as power scarifiers, garden scarifiers, electric scarifiers or electric lawn rakers.

Its really easy to raise or lower the adjustable rake between the maximum height of +5mm to lightly rake the lawn which I like to do every few weeks to maintain the lawn to the lowest depth of -10mm to heavily scarify and aerate below the level of the soil if you have alot of moss on your lawn, I prefer to do this in spring as it recovers much faster.
