Default Scarifier vs Verticutter vs Dethatcher

Since I bag my grass when I cut it, I don't have a need to
de-thatch.


Do you even understand what thatch is?


Some say it's the remnants of cut grass and other organic debris.

Others say it's the stems and the crowns of dead grass just above the
soil.

Regardless of what thatch is, if any of it is NOT rooted in the ground
then by bagging your grass every time you mow you are defacto reducing
the tendency for thatch buildup.
