The Scarifier cartridge is Allett’s most popular cultivation cartridge and is designed to remove thatch, surface debris and dead moss. This cartridge also helps lift lateral growth upright before mowing.

The scarifier has a custom design helps to keep your lawn surface healthy and disease-free, by allowing air and water to penetrate the soil surface. This cartridge is designed with replaceable rotating tines that pull out the dead grass and moss to enable the passage of nutrients into the soil, with ease.

The rotating spring tines are relatively gentle on the lawn and this cartridge can be used most of the year without fear of damage to keep on top of thatch levels as well as being useful to collect up leaves during the autumn. The use of the spring tine allows for safe cultivation where tree roots may be close to the surface. This is the best cartridge for beginners to turf cultivation as it is unlikely to cause damage if set too deeply but will give great results if used regularly.

Picks up leaves, pine needles and pine cones well

We suggest scarifying once a month during the mowing season to keep on top of thatch levels- you will be surprised just how much thatch builds up!

Compatible with Allett's Classic, Kensington, Liberty & Sandringham ranges only. Also availble in 12", 14" & 20" cutting widths

The lawn brush cartridge is used for collecting light debris, putting a stripe in a dry lawn without mowing and incorporating a light top dressing into the sward. The brush is perfect for collecting ‘worm casts‘ that are left by earthworms that live in the root zone of the soil. This accessory effectively disperses and removes these worm casts and other debris such as fallen leaves, twigs, grass clippings or litter and deposits it into the grass box. It’s also great for removing dew from the lawn that can cause fungal diseases.

Make sure to set the brush height correctly in relation to the height of your lawn, so that the optimal amount of debris is picked up. Ideally, the brush should sit approximately half an inch below the top of the grass. This should be carried out as regularly as possible to reduce the amount of debris spoiling your lawn.

The Lawn Brush is useful for covering renovating seed material or to work in top dressing.

Boasting wider spaced, thicker tines the Dethatcher is the most aggressive cartridge and penetrates the soil to a maximum depth of 6mm.

For lawns in serious disarray, the Dethatcher removes the densest layers of thatch effectively.

The machine works by rigorously penetrating the soil’s surface in order to pick up and remove layers of thatch such as dead grass and leaves, plant stolons and weed growth. Lawns grow healthier, thicker and more luscious once this has been removed as it's less susceptible to disease. Lawns that are more susceptible to disease encourage moss growth which should be avoided.

Removal of excessive thatch and moss enables more water, air and nutrients to absorb into the soil to be provided to the grass root, and should be carried out at least once a year in late Spring or Autumn only when moisture is available for the lawn to recover. The dethatcher cartridge removes twice as much material as the Verticut cartridge.

The ‘non-driven’ Aerator cartridge permeates the soil with small holes which allows air, water and nutrients to pass through more easily to the grassroots. This is beneficial as this helps the roots grow more deeply, meaning a healthier, thicker and more luscious lawn.

The Aerator also removes soil compaction and helps water move into the soil profile. Soil that is compacted has too many solid particles, which can prevent the soil from absorbing what it needs to flourish. Aerating your lawn stops the roots from being starved as there is nothing blocking that process.

If your lawn dries out easily then it could be crying out for aeration.

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. A small amount of thatch can be healthy for your lawn, but anything over half an inch needs to be removed as it prevents the healthy growth process. 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 that will ultimately contribute to the thatch layer.

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.

We have a homeowner range of cylinder mowers that take interchangeable cartridges- the verticut cartridge being one of them. This cartridge can replace the cutting cylinder in less than a couple of minutes.

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

Start with the cartridge on the setting you usually cut at and gradually lower- the cartridge should not be penetrating the soil as it will damage your blades. You want the blades to be touching the thatch layer and above. You will be amazed at how much this cartridge gets out of your lawn
