Moss removal with new Cheap Scarifier Quick an Easy Way DIY

Bought a cheap Scarifier to remove Moss from my garden. Scarifier was purchased from Screwfix for less than £70, an the model number was NMRS1500.
So far i'm pleased with it but catchment box is way too small for purpose, the machine does come with a generous 10m cable. the machine is cheap an cheerful an does the job, it's not a heavy duty machine but at the price I bought it for it's a bargain.
Yes i would buy one again for personal use, to hire one from local hire company would cost over £40 per day.

I’ve got this model but off eBay. It’s pretty powerful but don’t rely on the collection box as it’s full within seconds. I treat my moss to kill it first as using this on live moss will spread the spores.

I bought the same machine last year. Scarified in September, left the grass with no treatment whatsoever and come May my grass has never been thicker. It certainly does the job at a very reasonable price.

Thanks for your comment and idea to do it in September, have plenty of lawn here to do a few more tests on. Thanks.

I've got one of these and it does a good job. Set it to level 3 first and go over it, then have a look and see if it needs level 2. If it does it will be easier than just doing level 2 straight away as you have already removed a lot of thatch and moss.

Thanks John, have lots to do an will try your method on next go.

If not done the area previously,I mow short, rake up, scaify, rake up, then iron sulphate, and re scaring a while after.Then use core remover,brush in sharp sand, and overseed.

I bought one of those. Great machine for the money 💯

This is a fantastic little machine. I produce a verticutter cassette for it, which transforms it into a great all-round lawn maintenance tool…

[@gavinsmith9673]

Can you share where I can buy your verticutter cassette please?

[@degu44]

A very helpful video, thank you. I'm looking to get one for my small lawn. This scarifier seems to take a lot of work to push. A bit worrying that I see in the comments that your grass died? Maybe went too deep for first run?

I generally spray with iron sulphate before. This turns the moss black and then a couple of days later rake by hand and fill the bin. I'd like to hire the proper petrol tool and do it right some day. But would need a trailer and builders bags to get rid of all the moss. I'm no expert, but probably best to over seed the part you have done so far and water it if required.

[@TheProjectGuy194]

Was looking it earlier and will probably over seed it to be safe

[@cretene1]

do a run ,and then miss one etc. this means you dont have to run over the moss you have pulled up.

[@tuckerhouston8935]

The grass was to long for a start

[@mikes5666]

Collection basket isn't attached to frame properly

[@ac9110]

I see you had a bit of grass in your moss there! 😃

[@TheProjectGuy194]

Lawn is now as bald as my head, have sown grass seed 2 weeks ago, had all weather conditions but sun.

[@ac9110]

@@TheProjectGuy194 It's been a shocking spring hasn't it. Rain every day. Nothing's growing, including your lawn 😄

[@markchester7584]

Chopping the grass down a level or two more might have made things a little easier.

[@KelDG3]

I was looking at these today, are they tough to push forward?

[@TheProjectGuy194]

If the moss is extremely thick, it can take some effort to push forward.

[@davidmckee2898]

The electric one I've got isn't

[@KelDG3]

Thanks fellas

[@TheProjectGuy194]

Yes it's Electric an cable is 10m long

[@keithhooper6123]

Those collection have are pointless.Always full in no time. Have the Webb petrol machine,myself.
