How to Assemble and Use the WORX Dethatcher | DIY Home Lawn Care

Ready to get your lawn looking the best that it can? Start by dethatching your lawn and then use quality products.

Dethatching your lawn is a key step in lawn care. Thatch is a mixture of dead and living plant matter that gathers at the base of the grass. A small amount of thatch is actually a good thing, but it becomes a problem when the thatch layer builds up too much. If the thatch layer is thick it could prevent moisture and air from getting to your soil. If the thatch builds up for too long it may not only kill your grass, but it can also damage the soil. Once the soil is damaged even replanted grass is not likely to grow. A build up of thatch can also be a nesting ground for insects.

Here are some details regarding the Worx Electric Dethatcher: 

• Lightweight dethatcher with a 3-position depth-adjustment to adjust to any lawn.
• Collection bag included to capture dead grass shoots, stems, and roots after being trimmed.
• Easy fold-down handle for convenient storage.
• Lock-off switch to stop work quickly.
