1. Thorough scarifying in the spring and fall. Depending on the condition of the lawn either in one direction or crosswise (if the lawn looks very bad).
2. After about 7-8 lawnmower cuts I use the scarifier in between to improve the lawn condition again. Then I fertilizing in order to compensate the loss.
With the Bosch Verticutter and this care, I can significantly beautify our lawns. The scarifier is overall very good. Only two downer but there are currently:
1. The screws for attaching the guide are cumbersome. Since there are much better solutions in many lawnmowers.
2. The fixing of the collecting basket is very shaky.
Because of these two annoying details but there are currently only four points.
