3.2 The need for certain activities

3.2.18 Verticutting

To scratch and cut through, in a vertical direction, the grass blades and trailing weeds, so as to reduce weeds and side-ways growth and encourage upright growth. This activity doesn’t cut into the soil or thatch (unlike scarification).

Closely spaced cutting blades, mounted in interchangeable heads. These can be supplied as single units in pedestrian cylinder mowers, to three or more units for ride-on or tractor operated machinery.
