I have seen many videos on this subject over the last few years. Your explanation, demonstration, along with graphics and how to keep it under control is the best I have ever seen. I can tell much time was put into the making of this video. Well done sir.

Yeah man, all roads lead to rome. I know that using Dthatch as part of program makes the lawn healthier and prevents buildup. This year I will show the difference in the turf with a side by side comparison running a dethatcher on treated and untreated

I’m excited this year to be using N-Ext D-Thatch 0-0-2 my soil has a high organic load presumably from the 2 sycamore trees, and maple tree in my yard and with all the leafs, twigs, and bark that they drop it has built up over the years. I’m hopeful as I continue to feed the soil and microbes 🦠 that the lawn will continue to grow and thrive! Look forward to all the content and new products!

Yes! But it depends on the amount of that determines what type you use. Heavy that you use a power rake, medium that a verticutter is great and light thatch a scarifier is the way to go. Also consider the depth you set the machine at as well. I use my scarifier once a month all spring summer and fall and my lawn is happy.

Thanks for the information. My lawn thatch is super thick. Lawn was flush with driveway and curb about 20 years ago. Now it’s a four inch drop the concrete. Feels like walking on a marshmallow bed. South Texas St. Augustine. Bought a dethatcher but won’t run six ft. Too many surface runners. Is there hope. Can I spray something like molasses to aid in microbes activity or should I till it up and start fresh? Guess I waited too long.

My fertility company just put down an application of fast/slow release fert and a pre emergent crabgrass/weed control. I wanted to give the lawn a cleanup with a power rake set shallow to lift up pine needles and other winter lawn debris, and to "fluff" the matted down turf from the snow. Did I miss my opportunity to lightly power rake? Can I still power rake at a shallow depth?

@Lawncology

There are a number of publications showing reduced thatch with molasses. A colleague of mine did his phD study on this topic. There is a product called I-Mol that had some great measurable thatch studies done as well as mentions in the golf course trades magazines. Dthatch was formulated around these types of parameters, cultures, sugar, nitrogen and other substances known to be beneficial to organisms.
