Weibang WB487CRB Professional Scarifier

Weibang WB487CRB Professional Scarifier was £899.00 now £799.00
An accumulation of moss and thatch on the surface-pan often leads to the development of unsightly brown patches and can seriously inhibit growth. This high-quality but affordable powered rake from Chinese company Weibang employs a set of 16 double-tipped that will comprehensively remove any build-up, allowing water, air and important nutrients to better access the root system. Undertaken regularly, this process will leave you with a thick, green lawn that will be the envy of your neighbours. Built to commercial specifications, the Weibang WB487CRB is equipped with a powerful, reliable and easy-starting Briggs & Stratton engine that’s rated at an impressive 6.5hp. The engine drives a 47cm-wide raking-rotor which is height-adjustable down to 7cm and can be disengaged when crossing paths, driveways and other non-grass areas. A blade-assembly is available as an optional accessory (cuts down old grass fibre for optimum growing conditions). The Weibang WB487CRB Professional Petrol Scarifier has been designed to provide years of service, with its high-quality ball-bearing wheels and powder-coated steel chassis working to maximise durability.

Westland Sure Start Fast-Acting Lawn Seed 30m

Westland Sure Start Fast-Acting Lawn Seed 30m £9.99
The Sure Start Fast-Acting Lawn Seed is the ideal quick way to a luscious lawn.What makes this different from other grass seed on the market? Using a blend of quick growing and hard wearing grasses Sure Start Fast Acting Lawn seed will produce a quality lawn in just 10 days with grass starting to appear in only 4-6 days under optimal conditions. The secret is not only in the blend of seeds but in the specially formulated coating that each seed receives. This is a micro-nutrient coating which attracts and holds moisture while the plant hormones stimulate growth and the nutrients help with strong healthy root growth. These 3 components will help to significantly improve germination and establish the seedling. Being coated means that the seeds are heavier than normal helping them bed down into the soil which also has the benefit of deterring birds from eating them. The Sure Start Fast-Acting Lawn Seed is an ideal product for either creating new lawns or for repairing existing lawns to produce a hard wearing surface ideal for family use.Sow: March-May or September-OctoberApplication Rate: 33g/m for new lawns 25g/m for repairs
