Promote a Healthy, Thriving Lawn
The Allett QC Scarifier Cartridge is a best-selling cultivation cartridge, expertly designed to remove thatch, dead moss, and surface debris, significantly improving the health and appearance of your lawn. It is also highly effective at lifting lateral grass growth into an upright position just before mowing, which allows your cylinder mower to deliver a cleaner, more professional-quality cut.
Why Choose the Allett Scarifier Cartridge?
The custom design of this scarifier helps to keep your lawn surface healthy and free from disease by allowing essential air and water to penetrate the soil surface. The cartridge features replaceable rotating spring tines that efficiently pull out dead grass and moss, clearing the way for nutrients to reach the soil with ease. These rotating spring tines are relatively gentle on the lawn, making the cartridge suitable for use throughout most of the year to manage thatch levels without fear of damage. This gentle action also allows for safe cultivation where tree roots may be close to the surface. It is considered the best cartridge for beginners to turf cultivation, as it is unlikely to cause damage if set too deeply but will still yield excellent results with regular use.
Beyond thatch removal, this cartridge is also a useful tool for collecting leaves, pine needles, and even pine cones during the autumn months.
How Often Should You Scarify?
Allett suggests scarifying at least once a month during the main mowing season to keep thatch levels under control. You may be surprised just how much thatch can build up in a short period. For lawns with significant thatch, it can even be used as frequently as once a week without causing harm to the turf.
