Mantis Cultivator Dethatcher/Scarifier and Aerator Kit

These accessories are suitable for both the Mantis Mini Cultivator and the Mantis Electric Cultivator. Lawn Scarifier/Dethatcher: Lawn thatch is a normal build-up of the grass root parts (stolons and rhyzomes), bound up with some dead plant material, near the surface of the soil. When thatch is more than 1/2 thick, it can prevent air, water and nutrients penetrating to the roots. Heavy thatch harbors insect pests and prevents new grass plants from getting started. This attachment has 60 strong, flexible spring-steel picks which gently pull up the thatch across a 15 swath as you walk along behind it. Dethatch your lawn regularly in Spring or Autumn - espacially before seeding or fertilizing. Lawn Aerator: This aerator will cut thousands of tiny slits in your lawn to allow more air, water and nutrients to penetrate. This promotes the activity of beneficial soil micro-organisms and encourages healthy lawns. Periodic aeration is especially recommended in areas where compaction occurs and where soil is heavy.clay. Aerate before spot-seeding your lawn.
