Verticut

The Verticutter cartridge is a popular cartridge in the Allett range.

Thin and closely spaced blades effectively lift lateral growth and remove moss which helps encourage tillering and new growth.  The blades of the Verticut cartridge reach down into the thatch without damaging the healthy grass, which brings the dead layer to the surface to be collected and removed. Air is introduced into the sward to help break down the organic matter.

As the name suggests, the Verticut cartridge penetrates the soil vertically, ensuring to remove as little healthy grass as possible. The use of a larger number of thinner blades achieves the least damage possible whilst ensuring excess thatch is removed. Some broadleaf and grass weeds are discouraged by the closing cutting action of this cartridge.

Verticutting can be carried out on a more frequent basis, and is the perfect way to keep on top of your thatch level in between your yearly scarification. A small amount of thatch can be healthy for your lawn, but anything over half an inch needs to be removed as it prevents the healthy growth process. Generally the verticut cartridge removes twice as much material as the scarifier cartridge.
