Anybody have any strong feelings about dethatching?
I take care of a few lawns on the side and I usually just aerate and overseed. I don't really think dethatching is necessary unless it's really built up. Aerating kind of helps the thatch break down anyway. Thinking of maybe using a slice seeder after aerating to kind of get work on thatch without actually dethatching. |

The one time I dethatched it created a crazy amount to pick up. |

And it's well worth it. Verticutting and aeration just aren't power raking. They are important, but they just aren't the same thing. Perhaps power rake then verticut. Make a weekend of it.. if you pull it backwards for the whole lawn, then rake/bag, if you can get out of bed on Sunday you'll be good to go to verticut. You can take M-W off from the gym! |

Been a strange summer. All tomato plants got blight, hardly any leaves, sick ass looking plants. Made Salsa twice though.
Bell peppers and Jalepenos have been awesome. Fig trees are amazing. We will have at least a couple hundred juicy figs. Lettuce and kale made us grow tired of them. How about yours? Did you let it go to weeds once it warmed up? |
