Are Microbial Dethatchers Effective?
Research has shown this microbial dethatcher to reduce thatch approximately 50% after three applications at 4 week intervals. Once thatch is broken down, this microbial dethatcher will also help prevent future thatch build up. If organic fertilizers are used instead of synthetic in conjunction with this lawn dethatcher, the need for mechanical dethatching is virtually eliminated. LazyMan Liquid Gold™ accelerates natural thatch decomposition and will reduce the frequency of mechanical treatments and can completely eliminate them. The combination of the lawn aerator and lawn dethatcher helps improve soil and turf conditions and may reduce the need for some associated pesticide applications.
