A dethatcher is a serious tool and should only be used when necessary and in the correct manner. It should not be used if the lawn is bone dry or sopping wet because you could wind up doing as much harm to the grass as you do to the thatch. I’d recommend dethatching in the spring. This will give the lawn time to recover before any serious hot, dry weather sets in. One of the stand-out-features of the Bosch UniversalVerticut 1100 is the aforementioned special jet collect system that features BOR steel blades and innovative airflow inlets to offer a fast and complete collection of moss and thatch. This unique system has been designed by Bosch to ensure that the BoschUniversalVerticut 1100 is convenient and practical. Typically, Verticutters move forward automatically when activated, eliminating the need for pushing. Instead, you will only have to steer the machine across the lawn. For better results, start in one corner and move in a straight line to the next corner.

Verticutting is not the only technique that can remove thatch from your lawn. By far, the simplest is to use a rake. However, this method is incredibly labor-intensive, slow and impractical, especially for those with large lawns. Another option is to use a dethatcher. However, dethatchers will often damage turf of different varieties. In essence, Verticutting is the process of removing the thatch buildup that is on the lawn, allowing the turf to breathe better. It allows the grass to absorb nutrients and moisture more efficiently. It does this by ensuring that all the moisture is absorbed by the fresh, young blades of grass instead of the thatch.

When most people think “thatch” they think of a layer of clippings from past mowings that gradually builds up, eventually giving the lawn a spongy feel. And many times that is exactly what it is. Other times, however, there is more to the thatch than clippings. Finally, you are ready to use the Verticutter on your lawn. First, start its motor by pushing the on/off button. Then, being guiding it as you would regularly do with an automated push mower. After preparing, Verticutting, and fertilizing your grass, you are very close to finishing the entire process. To jumpstart the process of recovery and growth in the turf, you need to water grass thoroughly and with abundant water. It has a full 32cm cutting width and 4 raking heights ranging from +10mm to -5mm, therefore it is ideal for regular use throughout the lawn growing and maintenance season.Once you have gathered all the items necessary for Verticutting your lawn, you are ready to begin the process: Verticutting can be used in combination with other techniques such as aerating and dethatching to achieve an even better final product. And it is the perfect technique to prepare your lawn for overseeding. While Verticutting focuses on removing thatch alone, aerating also removes grass (to give the remaining blades of grass more breathing space). By doing this, you will help the roots of the grass grow freely, eventually resulting in a more established and stable turf. A combination of both techniques should be used to achieve the best results possible. Robust drum with stainless steel blades and airflow inlets efficiently removes layers of thatch that consist of plant debris, moss and weeds from your lawn With a generous working width of 32cm and 4 height of cuttings that range from +5/0/-5/-10 mm you can expect the Bosch VerticutterUniversalVerticut 1100 to work steadily and efficiently. The machine itself weighs just 10.5 kg and therefore is easy to manoeuvre.
