Explaining
BZT®
Dethatcher
BZT®
DETHATCHER
is a
guaranteed
effective
"biological
dethatcher"
for
thatch
build-up.
Thatch
is the
straw-like
accumulation
of old
grass
material
above
the
soil
in your
lawn.
When
thatch
builds
up,
it indicates
your
lawn's
health
is slipping
away.
Thatch
build-up
occurs
in lawns
with
compacted
soils
that
have
usually
been
over
watered
and/or
fertilized.
A deficiency
in earthworm
numbers
from
lack
of humus
may
also
cause
soils
to compact.
Water
and
sunlight
have
a hard
time
penetrating
lawns
with
heavy
thatch
build-ups
and
compacted
soil.
Since
moisture
is absorbed
by the
thatch
and
not
the
soil,
grass
root
systems
remain
shallow,
never
developing
the
depth
necessary
for
drought
resistance
and
long
term
good
health.
Lawns
with
shallow
root
systems
quickly
lose
vigor
in dry
weather.
Insects
use
heavy
thatch
as a
breeding
ground,
as do
many
undesirable
organisms.
While
thatch
layers
under
¼
inch
[6.35mm]
thick
do provide
some
benefit
to your
lawn,
thatch
layers
over
½
inch
[12.7mm]
thick
definitely
require
treatment.
Too
often
mechanical
dethatching
is the
treatment
of choice.
This
is unfortunate,
because
mechanical
dethatchers
can
rip
and
tear
grass
plants
and
roots.
They
do little
to improve
your
lawn's
long
term
health.
Instead
of returning
organic
matter
to your
lawn,
you
rake
and
bag
it for
disposal.
Increasingly
more
municipalities
are
placing
restrictions
on the
disposal
of grass
clippings,
rendering
raking
and
bagging
an impossible
choice.
Chemical
fertilizers
and
lawn
treatments
may
actually
kill
the
beneficial
microorganisms
needed
to form
humus
in your
lawn.
Chemicals
may
also
promote
the
growth
of undesirable
disease
causing
organisms
and
insects.
Your
lawn
may
actually
be more
vulnerable
to plant
diseases
after
chemical
applications
than
it was
before
treatment.
Chemical
fertilizers
release
their
nutrients
all
at once,
and
are
easily
leached
away.
Additionally,
chemical
fertilizers
and
lawn
treatments
may
have
dangerous
side
effects
for
family
and
pets.
Organic
fertilizers
in the
form
of humus
are
extremely
important
in maintaining
your
lawn's
good
health.
Humus
is rich
in nutrients,
which
stay
in place
and
resist
leaching
much
better
than
chemical
fertilizers.
Humus
releases
nutrients
slowly
to plants,
at rates
acceptable
to their
demands
and
uptake
ability.
Thick
humus
layers
hold
water
well
and
allow
grass
root
systems
to grow
deep.
Deep
root
systems
are
essential
for
healthy
grass
plants
and
aid
in drought
resistance.
Healthy
lawns
retain
their
natural
immunity
to plant
diseases,
and
resist
weed
competition
better
than
chemically
treated
lawns.
