Uses a vertislicer to dig up the grass bed,
then puts down of layer of grass seed that will grow like no tommorrow!
What is a vertislicer? It has a
vertical set of blades (up and down) that are designed to mutilate your
lawn. Yes, to you ladies, it's like those chemicals they put on your
face to make you peel, and hopefully you look better after the process is
said and done. Except in this case, you are practically destroying the
lawn, to be able to plant additional seed, and the whole lawn eventually
comes up looking like new.
This unit will create plugs of dirt and sod. As a
tow behind, it can be pulled by a Z mower. The containers shown are
for water; this is a for adding weight as needed. Aerating a lawn not
only help oxygen get into the soil, but it loosens the soil allowing the
roots easier growth, which helps worms to do their thing.
How long does it take to edge a 3' circle around a tree? 10-20
minutes? What if you could do this in 3 minutes? The difference
is that significant. We have many landscapers who own these units, and
the time they save is unimaginable.
It has a "trailing" blade arm, which means the blade is allowed motion to
go up and down. If you come upon a root or rock, the blade will just
flow over it, instead of trying to cut it. As the unit progresses, it
leaves behind a strip of sod that can easily be picked up and discarded.
