The Verticutter cartridge is a popular cartridge in the Allett range.

Thin and closely spaced blades effectively lift lateral growth and remove moss which helps encourage tillering and new growth. The blades of the Verticut cartridge help pick up flat-lying grasses that your cylinder would otherwise miss.

Verticutting can be carried out on a more frequent basis and is the perfect way to keep on top of your thatch level between your yearly scarification. Generally, the verticut cartridge removes twice as much material as the scarifier cartridge.

The aims of verticutting:

• To prune the grasses to improve tillering and stolon formation. This increases turf density.
• To control thatch. The verticut cartridge blades are designed to be used above the thatch layer to remove dead and dying grass plants.
• To produce an upright grass prior to mowing to give a cleaner more consistent cut.
• As a method of controlling weeds and weed grasses without using harmful chemicals.
• Verticutting will also help remove annual meadow grass seed heads and promote finer grasses, such as bent and fescue.

You can use the cartridge every two weeks or so from April to September to keep on top of thatch and lateral lying grasses.
