Lawn care is an important task for garden lovers. The Mellif 36V cordless scarifier is an efficient and environmentally friendly tool that helps remove moss, thatch, and dead grass from the lawn. This promotes healthy lawn growth. In this article, you'll learn how to use the Mellif cordless scarifier correctly and which maintenance tips are important. 
1. Why should you use a scarifier to aerate your lawn?
Over time, a layer of thatch forms on the lawn, preventing water, nutrients, and air from reaching the soil. This can impair root growth. Using a scarifier can effectively remove this layer, improve soil aeration, and promote the growth of a thick, healthy lawn.
Main advantages of scarifying :
✅ Removes felt layers and prevents moss formation
✅ Improves soil aeration so that water and nutrients are better absorbed
✅ Stimulates lawn growth , making it denser and healthier
✅ Reduces weeds and ensures a neat appearance
2. Steps to use the Mellif cordless scarifier
(1) Preparation
Before you start scarifying, you should consider the following points:
- Check battery : Make sure the Mellif 18V/36V lithium-ion battery is fully charged.
- Prepare the lawn : Remove large stones, branches and other obstacles to prevent damage to the blades.
- Adjust cutting depth : Choose an appropriate cutting depth (usually 2–5 mm). Setting the depth too deep can damage grass roots, while setting it too shallow is ineffective.
(2) Start scarifying
- Inserting the battery : Make sure the device is turned off before inserting the Mellif battery .
-
Select appropriate mode :
- Scarifying mode : For removing thatch and moss.
- Aeration mode : For easier soil loosening and better root respiration.
- Smooth movement : Move the scarifier over the lawn at a steady pace to avoid overloading or damaging the lawn.
- Work crosswise : First scarify in one direction, then turn 90° and work again to ensure complete coverage.
(3) Follow-up and maintenance
- Remove grass clippings : Collect the scraped-out moss and thatch with a rake or lawnmower.
- Fertilizing and watering : After scarifying, it is recommended to apply lawn fertilizer and water the lawn thoroughly so that the grass roots can regenerate.
- Do not scarify too often : One or two scarifications per year are ideal, preferably in spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October) .
