In the past I have written a lot about what is a power rake and why to power rake, I have even written articles on how to power rake, but I have never written an article on when to power rake. Having had 8 years of experience in thatching, I have come to the conclusion that the two best times to power rake your lawn are in the spring and in the fall. Partially, this is because this is the time when most lawns are the healthiest, but another and probably more important reason, is because this is the mcm bags best time for over seeding and reestablishing your lawn.
The optimal time for over seeding your lawn is when the average daily temperature is between 60 and 80 degrees. In addition new laws need to be watered on a regular basis every day until they get established. In most parts of the country, rain falls most abundantly in the Spring and the Fall making this the best time to thatch. In addition, during the time of year that your lawn is the healthiest, it can also recover a lot more quickly from lawn thatching.
There are 3 different kinds of thatching tools you can use to thatch your lawn with. The first is a manual thatching rake. These mcm handbags cost $25 to 30 new. They are wimple to use by sliding them back and forth, but they do take a long time. Most people with a large lawn are better off using one of the to other methods. The next way to take the thatch out of your lawn is to use a dethatching blade on your lawn mower. Simply change over the existing blade to a thatching one (after mowing) and the thatcher mower will pull out the thatch.
If you have sloped or hilly terrain, it is probably best to use the third method. This is to use a power dethatching rake or thatcher machine. A thatcher is the fastest and most effective way to remove that from your lawn. This machine have between 80 and 100 vertically spinning mcm belts metal blades. They take the thatch out of you lawn very quickly. After you are done simply rake up and dispose of the thatch. I do not recommend the units that bag for you because they do not do as good of a job cleaning the thatch out of your lawn.
