Realise A Great Lawn With Darlac’s Scarifier

 Realise A Great Lawn With Darlac’s Scarifier

Made from powder-coated steel, Darlac’s Lawn Scarifier has 11 replaceable, galvanised steel blades for fast effective removal of moss, thatch and matted grass: The telescopic handles incorporate a simple twist and lock mechanism and extend from 97cm – 1.5m making it easy to adjust for optimum comfort in use. It operates much like a normal rake except the wheels take virtually all the weight. The blade depth is governed by the angle at which the handle is held; the lower the handle the deeper the cut. Raise the handle as the rake is pushed forward and then lower it to make contact with the ground, allowing the thatch to be removed.

In tests, Darlac’s Lawn Scarifier has been particularly well received, achieving a 5* rating in the UK national gardening press. Priced from around £29.99.

For complete lawn care combine the Scarifier with Darlac’s Hollow Tine Aerator, which stimulates root growth, helps drainage in winter and can also prevent soil drying out during the summer. Priced from around £17.95.

Plan A Vegetable Garden with The Innovative GrowVeg.com

 Plan A Vegetable Garden with Innovative GrowVeg.com

Following in the footsteps of the Obamas, the Queen and the Prime Minister, planting a kitchen garden is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to start the New Year.

More and more people are including fruit and vegetables in their gardens as they experience the superior taste and health benefits of home-grown food.

However, growing vegetables has traditionally needed more experience than picking out plants from a garden centre; many crops need to be grown from seed, spaced correctly and ‘rotated’ in groups, to prevent the build-up of pests or loss of soil nutrients.
