Good grief.

De-thatching the lawn must burn a lot of calories. I am dying and I'm only 1/3 of the way through the lawn!!!!

So if you're looking to burn some football snack calories, get out there at de-thatch at half-time!

    :laugh:

    Tell me about it!
    I used to do this but ended up with rather a sore back, even swapping sides to "scrape" to balance out the work.




    So I cheated and bought an electric scarifier. :blushing:

    Makes the lawn look a bit like the Battle of the Somme but after a few weeks it will look great.

    Serious workout stuff!

    You're supposed to remove thatch in the Fall? I always thought it was in the Spring. No wonder my lawn looks crummy.

    The plan is to thatch today and then over seed tomorrow.

    I bet it's different from region to region. We're in the PNW.
