Dethatchers seem to be one of those attachments you're supposed to already know how to use, before you buy it. Which one is best? The spring-kind, or something else? When do you do it? Now, or after the ground firms up more? Can they be set for different depths, and if so, how deep? Seems you're supposed to weigh them down with a cinder block, right?

Farmer down the road did this every couple of years around his fence line. Not anymore. Too many "carbon emissions" - I s--t you not. Can't even burn garbage in the country anymore......sherriff's been known to write a heavy citation for such.........
What's the point of de-thatching? Does it really help the lawn, or is it just something else to keep busy the people who like to be out on their lawn?

I have a section of rotary hoes that we used to use on the farm. The spikes work prety good as long as you don't go to fast, if you do it tears the yard up pretty good.:biggrin:

Rotary hoes will work very well if you pull them backwards they will not dig things up as bad...
Pulled backwards they work more like a spike aerator...
I'm going to be putting a set together this summer, just for large areas.... :smile:KennyV
