About the Landscape Juice Network

Founded in 2008. The Landscape Juice Network (LJN) is the largest and fastest growing professional landscaping and horticultural association in the United Kingdom.

LJN's professional business forum is unrivalled and open to anyone within within the UK landscape industry

LJN's Business Objectives Group (BOG) is for any Pro serious about building their business.

For the researching visitor there's a wealth of landscaping ideas, garden design ideas, lawn advice tips and advice about garden maintenance.

It's an elderly astroturf variety, maybe 20+ years old laid on slate chippings and sand.  It has been inadequately maintained and clumps of moss and grass are abundent.

The moss and grass have been killed with glyphosate.  Superficial moss and general debris removed with kombi-KB KM bristle brush. (Absolute leg killer because there is huge resistance and the brush drives me back all the time).

 

Individual grasses need to be teased from the astroturf with a wire hand 4629340684?profile=RESIZE_710xbrush and finger-and-thumb.  Any suggestions to improve efficiency?

  • Depending on how fussy your customer is, the grass will degrade over a few weeks and should brush away quite easily.  You may well that birds will pull do half the job to be used as nesting material!!

     

    • thanks, I'll update! 

  • if its 20 years old its redy for replacing as the underside will be braking up and allowing the weeds to germinate it will not last forever

    I use that kombi brush with the mm56, I just flip the gear box so it runs forward, much easier. Great for brushing in lawn top dressing.

        I defo would not do that with a kombi engine, I've been doing it for years with stil multi-engine mm56. I seem to get a nice static shock from artificial grass.
