Hello Everyone!
Here in my blogspace, I usually write about what is going on in the mortgage industry. (which makes sense because I'm in the mortgage industry.) And there has certainly been a lot to write about. Rates going up. Rates going down. Are we in a recession? What about the gas prices? Who is in charge of that? What about the Feds? Do they have a clue? The stock market can soar one day and then tank the next because some report about farming came in .004 of a percentage point different then what was expected.
And while it is good to talk and understand the happenings in the mortgage market, it can be a bit overwhelming and sometimes it's good to take a break from all that sometime depressing news. And this is one of those sometimes.
So what should we talk about? We should talk about (I know. Write about.) one of the most important subjects that hardly gets mentioned but yet is so important to all of us. That's right: Lawn Dethatching.
Now we all know the problem. Our lawns can be starving for nutrients and water if our thatch is too thick. If you mulch when you cut your grass like I do, this can be a serious build up. The only way to get it out of the grass is to rake. And like I always say: "Raking sucks!". I do everything in my power not to rake. I have lawn vacuums. Not the Hoover type but one that picks up leaves and grass so I don't have to rake. Because: "Raking sucks!".
Well now my friends, I have something that will save us all from that horrible job and hopefully help make our lawns nice and green. I'm talking about an invention that in my mind is just short 0f importance next to the artificial heart.
The Electric Power Rake!
This wonderful gadget (from Sears) is a Godsend. I can not believe how much dead grass was in my lawn that I removed. It became a bigger job figuring out how to pick up the brown, dead thatch that was now laying on top of the lawn. I don't usually have a smile on my face when I'm doing lawn work, but I did using the Electric Power Rake. I'm actually looking forward to doing the front lawn tonight to see what I pick up there. I hope it doesn't rain.
I am always looking for ways to save me work. We have enough to do without spending hours after hours of raking and then admiring our brand new blisters. The Electric Power Rake will change all that.
Now the jury is still out on what kind of effect power raking will have on my lawn. (my lawn is on the critical list already) But I'm thinking all that crappy dead thatch was choking my lawn so it has to do some good. It just has to! And being electric helps me to "Go Green" which is important. So give it a try. And let me know what you think.
I didn't want to go there but it would be nice if there was some tool like the Electric Power Rake to fix the economy.
It seems we have a lot of dead grass choking us there too.
