Edwin 55 Verticutter Cartridge

Edwin 55 cm (22 inch) Verticutter cartridge.

Verticutter cartridge is used to cut lawns vertically. The cartridge is fitted with
steel rotating blades. The denser the lawn is, the more it needs verticutting. 
We recommend to verticutting the lawn 3 - 5x per year during the grass season and always before each fertilization to a depth of 3 - 5 mm. 
Verticutting the lawn before fertilizing will remove the thatch and dead parts
of the plants, prevent the fertilizer from being washed away by rain and
ensure absorption into the soil and to the roots of the lawn. At the same time
the grass sods are being broken, increased water absorption and supports the growth of grass sprouts and growth of the new plants. By breaking the surface of the soil, the circulation of the air in the soil will be restored. The surface will also have better access to sunlight. All of these positive procedures result in thicker and healthier lawn.
Verticutting must be performed at high reel speed in order for the blades to cut correctly. When using Edwin, you can increase the power using the throttle lever on the handlebar. When using the Electra, use the regeneration mode. 
See our Swardman user’s manual for more information.

Recommendations:
- If the lawn is thick and full of thatch, we recommend verticutting in two directions in a crossways pattern.
Never verticut if the lawn is really wet or too dry. Your lawn does not need to be verticut all over its entire area. If there are thin areas, skip them. 

Never verticut if the soil temperature is below 10 °C (50°F).
