H J 1 How to Use Raking your Lawn Raking the lawn helps aerate the soil, prevent diseases, it also improves surface drainage and promotes a healthier thicker lawn. Moss There are several types of mosses, which can cause problems to your lawn. Moss as well as being detrimental to the appearance of your lawn, will smother grass, make the lawn spongy, make it difficult to mow, hold water and encourage disease. Moss spores are released during spring and autumn. Thatch Thatch is decaying organic matter that builds up on the base of the lawn. Like moss thatch is detrimental to the appearance of your lawn and can cause bad surface drainage, encourage weeds, prevent air circulation and encourage disease. 1 2 L How to Use • Do not use in wet or damp conditions. Raking in wet conditions can damage the lawn. • Do not force the lawnrake through long grass it should be used on grass no longer than 75mm in length. If the grass is long, mow the lawn prior to using the Lawn Rake. The Lawn Rake can collect your grass clippings while raking. • Clear the lawn of any loose debris or stones that may damage the lawnrake. • On your first use choose a medium height to start with, and then adjust the height setting to suit your lawn and use. • Start the lawnrake at the edge of the lawn, close to the power point, and work away from the power point. Once you have raked the lawn in one direction rake again at right angles to the previous direction. (L) • For total control of moss, use moss killer in early spring a couple of weeks prior to using the lawnrake • To gently remove particularly heavy areas of moss and thatch you may have to rake over the area several times. • For best results use your lawnrake regularly particularly at the beginning of the season to encourage good growth and at the end of the season to prepare the lawn for winter. The lawn should be raked in autumn leaving some time for the lawn to thicken and recover before winter. • To maintain the quality of your lawnrake it is recommended that you clean it after use.
