nice to find a clear, no nonsense description of how to do things.

I bought a cheap scarify machine years ago - and in all these years I've been using the wrong blade to scarify, I was using the rake attachment and not the blade attachment (should have RTFM)- so thank you DIY Guy for putting me straight.

AT LAST GOT THE BEST INFORMATION been using the wrong tool for the job been using the attachment for the machine been using the rake and not the blade tool thank you

Great instructional video and will no doubt give rise to many people having greener, moss reduced lawns as a result this summer.
One thing I do when using the motorised bladed scarifier is leave the bag off and additionally use a bungy cord over the handles with the ends hooked under the edges to hold the rear deflector flap slightly higher, thus preventing the removed moss, etc... from building up on the underside of the scarifier as you go.

I still use iron to kill moss. Other treatments are too expensive and to me don't seem to work better or for longer. I agree that the two step method works.

Your scarifier is nearly bigger than my lawn. I scarified our lawn one year, took all the thatch and moss out, that gave me the best crop of dandelions ever.

Acksherly... I use an electric scarifier every couple of years, and make sure that my weed patches, sorry 'lawns', are well drained, by forking them as deep as I can. I avoid using moss killer, as I have fruit trees. Each year the moss gets less, but I leave the moss in one area because bumble bees make their nests in it, believe it or not. Nice vid, thanks.

Good to see follow up video showing how to do overseeding and the final result. Thanks

[geordielad]

I use a scarifier for the first time last year, followed a few vids off utube mowed lawn dug up as much weeds as i possible could, but as my lawn is quite large it was very labour intensife and left some weeds i then scarified, seeded and compost/fed weeks later i had more weeds then ever 😮.

[sylwesterkluz]

This is a nice explanation and I'm really grateful for using civilized measures, like cm, kg, square meter...

Another well executed tutorial video - would have been great to see the lawn two weeks later. Regarding what else to share - how to make a 'lean to' for housing firewood, etc.

[charlesreader]

Great video - I have a very large lawn that is covered with moss and have been looking for this kind of no-nonsense advice for some time!

[AnthonyHitmanDarts]

A top tip after the final raking up is to run the mower over the lawn again to pick up remaining debris.

[alexpace]

Would love to see a garden kitchen, greenhouse, raised beds etc. great work on the channel.

Few things, I use this too, I don’t scarify at all, I put it on in blazing hot weather and then I don’t water in, the moss never goes brown, just disappears over the next 6 weeks.

[stuart]

Have used my scarifier to cut down into the thatch, didn’t grab too much out initially but then power raked it. That really dragged loads out. I have used the mo bacter instant, applied with a sprayer. Supposed to kill the moss in 24 hours but I will leave it a week or so before reseeding.

And in answer to a previous comment, agreed scarifying isnt a cure for moss but it rectifies the position. Mossy lawns in my experience are due to north facing aspect, shade and inadequate sunlight for the grass to stay robust. So scarifying etc needed every 2to3 years on mine

[christophergarrett]

Yes I recognise the smell. It is definitely chicken manure. Fab video really helped me. I'd been using the wrong head on my scarifier to start.

[DMUSA]

I have an electric dethatcher. It works very well. I have used a leaf blower instead of raking. I also compost the debris.

[jamesholmes]

Every garden deserves a water feature
Keep up the great videos

Literally just bought that exact scarifier, bit of a beast, my lawn is about 475m2 so it’s gonna be worth every penny.
