Please note that the right to return goods which are not faulty does not apply to any goods which have been made to your own specifications. Bosch was created in 1886 in Stuttgart, Germany by Robert Bosch who formed the business to specialise in the manufacture of electronic components. The 'Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering' as he originally called it, has since become one of the biggest and best-known manufacturers of both domestic and industrial products in the world. Bosch have always had a willingness to improve on their already established designs, right from day one. It's this ethos, which has allowed Robert Bosch GmbH and Bosch Garden Tools to maintain the enviable place in the market they hold today. Make sure that electric cables and the plugs are safely wired, with no loose or bare wires showing. However, if you’ve never scarified before or if there’s a lot of thatch or moss in your lawn, the collector will be useless. It just isn’t big enough for the sheer volume of material the machine extracts.

There is no specific time that you should verticut your lawn. It can be done whenever and with whatever frequency you wish. You will know that it is time to verticut your lawn if it feels spongy as you step across it.After long hours of intensive scarification on different grass types, lengths, and locations, we’ve compiled a list of the best lawn rakers in the UK market so you can make an informed decision on which unit suits your preferences best. Lawn Raker Vs Scarifier Vs Aerator And if you do use it, the added weight at the rear can cause the machine to ‘wheelie’ on the very small rear wheels. I found it was just better to never use the collector and rake up the debris by hand. When I removed it completely, the machine was a joy to use.

Join Our Growing Community: The VonHaus 2 in 1 – Scarifier & Aerator, at 1500W, is the most powerful electric model we review. This model is both a scarifier and aerator and comes with two roller attachments, one for each job. So many of gardening work is heavy and tiring, or takes a long time to do, make life easier for yourself with a Bosch blah blah or a Bosch blah blah.

Using this manual scarifier is fairly hard work as you’re digging the tines down into the bound-up thatch in the grass, and sometimes you may be digging down into the soil. For this reason, we suggest you only use this on small lawns, or slightly larger ones if you want to do some muscle work. Used regularly, every week to two weeks in good growing conditions from April to September will help maintain a firm low thatch surface right through the season. This will make for a faster playing surface and make scarifying in the autumn that much easier and cause far less damage. There are only a few suppliers of verticutting machinery with most being supplied as cassettes for professional scarifiers e.g. SISIS, or as cassettes for cylinder mowers e.g. Allett. The only stand alone domestic verticutter we know of is the Bosch AVR1100. Scarifying Blades You should try to verticut your lawn at least once per year. The best results are achieved when you verticut your lawn in the spring or summer months. If you perform the verticutting before the growing season you will likely see improved growth and an overall more aesthetically pleasing lawn. One cassette has steel blades which are great for slicing into the soil, which helps aerate the soil and also removes moss and thatch that’s embedded deep into the lawn. The other cassette has steel wire tines (teeth) that are ideal for removing moss and thatch from above the soil as well as leaves and other garden debris.Both are very useful for clearing moss, thatch, leaves and other debris however the Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter can also be used to give a much more deeper clearing of your lawn because the blades slice through the surface to lift rooted growth and debris. Bosch have also increased the power from 900w to 1100w as the AVR 1100 needs the extra power as it is cutting deeper into the lawn. The ALR 900 has 10 Double Steel Tines where the AVR 1100 has 14 rotating BOR steel blades. Soon enough, the thatch will obstruct the intake of air and water to the roots which will in turn will inhibit the growth of new healthy grass shoots. Before you know it, your once well manicured lawn will be nothing but a patchy shadow of itself. The Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter is one of the best selling verticutters in the UK, but does it live up to the Bosch reputation for quality and functionality? Well, find out in my review below!

Take your replacement kit (you can get these from a hardware store, your lawn raker manufacturer, or online) and insert the new tines carefully into their holders. After all seasonal work is finished, clean both the machine and the collection box and store in a dry area, such as garage or garden shed.

The Jet Collect system is clearly a feature that makes a real difference to the job in hand, the collection box capacity is increased and the ability to collect the debris is improved – Great job Bosch!
