Alternating directions on each pass is highly recommended. be sure to clean up the yard debris between passes. I prefer to use a blower to blow the clippings off the surface into piles. 4. run two passes using the scarifier cartridge and cleanup the debris. 5. fertilize the lawn. I prefer to use a fertilizer with the beginning numbers between a 17 and 27 but in all reality most fertilizers will be fine as long as you follow the label. 6. optional overseeding. I like to take the opportunity and seed the grass. 6 weeks later the lawn will look fantastic. Thanks for tuning in!
