BOSCH AVR 1100 Verti Cutter Lawn Raker

Product Information

The Bosch has 4 height adjustments which range from +5mm down to -10mm and 14 pivoting blades which won’t break in tough patches or if they hit hard debris. Moss spores in April and September, so the best time to kill moss is in early spring and early autumn (when there is enough warmth, fertiliser and moisture available for the grass to recover). The most widespread method is to apply a moss treatment or chemical moss killer before raking the moss out a week later. An alternative method is to rake first then use a lawn moss killer to remove the remaining moss. However, filling spreaders and sprayers with moss control products or weed killers will not 100% get rid of moss on your lawn.

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.The Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter performs similar tasks and jobs to that of its smaller brother the Bosch ALR 900 but with some important differences. The ‘Jet Collect’ system on the Bosch does seem to, perhaps, just make it the slight winner when it comes to collection of wet leaves on the lawn for example. The flow of air produced by this system seems to help prevent clogging of the collection box inlet and slightly improves compaction. The thatch is primarily made up of plant stem nodes, the fibres of vascular tissues, the roots, and crowns of plants. These tissue types take longer to break down, and will often be interspersed with the occasional leaf clipping. Scottish Highlands, Islands & Remote include the following Post Codes: IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17- 26, PH30-44, PH49-50, PO31-41, ZE.

There is no level indicator or vision window on the Bosch AVR 1100 so it can be little difficult to know when the collection box is full. The Flymo Lawnrake Compact 3400 does have a collection box window, this is a nice touch – well done Flymo. Scarifying a lawn is one of the two essential steps, along with aeration, that you need to do several times a year, for the best lawn in the neighbourhood. Scarifying removes moss, thatch and other organic matter above and below the soil, giving water, oxygen and nutrients more of a chance to reach the roots of the grass for healthy growth. Whether you choose an electric scarifier, a powerful petrol one, or a manual model with DIY power, your investment in this tool will pay off in a lush, vibrant lawn. All the raked thatch and other debris goes into a large 40-litre collection box which is easily detachable for emptying into your compost pile or bin. However, on large lawns you may not want to stop and do this and may choose to let the raked bits remain on the lawn and manually rake them up afterwards. The 38cm raking width is suitable for small or medium size lawns and won’t require too many passes. 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 AeratorIt provides cushioning and reduces compression in high-traffic areas. However, too much thatch can become a big problem for your lawn as it absorbs the air, water, and food that should be going to the younger turf. Now, overall does the above make the Bosch better than the Flymo? Yes, not only the Flymo but almost all the lawn rakes we have tested. The Bosch AVR 1100 will not disappoint when it comes to collection and emptying of the collected debris.

When it comes to Verticutting and dethatching, there are some clear differences between the two. Dethatching can be done using a rake or a machine, and it requires a great deal of physical exertion. It is not as precise as Verticutting, and it can easily damage healthy blades of grass as it removes thatch. Keeping your lawn healthy in the first place is the best way of preventing dead grass. However, it’s easy to forget that lawns require maintenance (they aren’t evergreen!) and just treating grass with lawn fertilisers is not enough. Of course this is open to interpretation so if you don’t fall under every single one then don’t worry I’m sure you’ll still love this product. It has loads of great features that I’m sure you make use of even if you’re not its perfect customer.Verticutting your lawn is incredibly important and beneficial to its overall health.
