What if your dream is a perfectly smooth, green, flawless lawn? A psychoanalyst, perhaps, is not worth worrying about. But have some patience and necessary equipment. And one lawnmower is clearly not enough. Grass care does not only consist of periodically cutting it.
The beauty of a green lawn depends on the soil. Lawn aerators are specially designed in order to delicately loosen the soil without injuring the roots of plants. The device is equipped with thin plates that pierce
the topsoil, thereby improving the access of oxygen, fertilizers and moisture. The sod does not lose its integrity. In addition, such devices are suitable for removing weeds, moss and last year's grass.
Why are lawn aerators better than traditional rakes? Ordinary fan rakes are not able to efficiently loosen the soil, but rigid steel structures do it too rough, tearing grass out. As a result of such treatment, bald spots gaping on the green lawn.
Therefore, it is worth using the fruits of human ingenuity and acquiring suitable equipment for personal farming. When choosing aerators for a lawn, pay attention to the conditions in which you will operate them.
Now there are three groups of similar devices on the market. The simplest category includes mechanics - aerators in the form of rollers, sandals and rakes. The most environmentally friendly second group is electrical units. They operate from the network, are virtually silent, do not require constant service and do not "offend" your sense of smell with
exhaust gases. And
the family budget will not “fly into the pipe” after their purchase. But here one significant minus pops up to the surface. The action of the machine is limited by the length of the power cord.
So if your site is quite large, you will need a gas aerator. It is mobile, copes with any amount of work, easily passes complex relief sections. Of course, it will be necessary to refuel the unit with a mixture of gasoline and oil. Do not avoid mandatory inspection. But you wanted a perfect lawn? And service maintenance of the device is not as ruinous as car care. But this does not force you to abandon the car and change to a bicycle.
Whatever aerator you choose - gasoline or electric, you should pay attention to its characteristics. The case of the model should combine lightness and strength. The most reliable of them are equipped with aluminum or hoist cases. The high engine power allows the device to work longer without over-exertion. Take an interest in the working width: the larger this indicator, the less time it will take you to process the lawn.
Lawn aerators are sometimes additionally equipped with grass catchers. The attachment is optional, but you don’t want to return to the treated lawn again and put away the grass and trash in the bag. It is easier to remove and clean the unit container.
Having picked up a reliable assistant for lawn care, you will understand how easy and, most importantly, with pleasure you can make your dream come true.
