Biological Dethatcher is a liquid dethatcher treatment that has been formulated to generate and accelerate the decomposition of thatch in lawns. To fuel this process, our product contains high levels of thatch digesting Bacteria and Enzymes. These, along with naturally occurring soil organisms, will break down thatch and turn it into valuable humus.
Thatch is a tightly woven mat of both dead and living grass parts -roots, stems, blades, runners and clippings -that forms on top of the soil. Thatch soaks up water like a sponge and prevents the water from getting into the ground. The grass roots are found to be more in the thatch layer than in the soil, which means the lawn is more susceptible to heat and drought damage. A thatch condition means a weak, insect and disease prone lawn. The photo below is an excellent illustration of thatch in a bluegrass lawn in a clay soil.
If your lawn has a true thatch condition, you cannot alleviate it with hand raking, power raking or so-called “dethatching” machines. These will only skim the surface of the thatch layer. If you dig in any deeper, you will tear out the grass. The best way to reduce thatch is to get it to decompose. For this to occur, you need to create a healthy soil. That is well aerated and bioactive. Biological Dethatcher liquid dethatcher makes sure that the specific microbes necessary for thatch decomposition are present in your soil.
WATER REGULARLY. To help aid water penetration through a heavy thatch layer, put on a light application (1/4 rate) of Aerify! or Aerify PLUS before watering if needed. Keep the soil under the thatch layer moist or decomposition will cease. You can let the top of the thatch layer dry out as long as the soil is moist underneath it. The thatch degrades at the point where it comes in contact with the soil. You will see it turn into a rich, dark humus as it begins to break down.
If you are using a pump or tank sprayer for applications and have chlorinated water, fill your tank with water first, leave the top off and let it sit for ½ hour to allow some of the chlorine to dissipate. Then add the Biological Dethatcher. You can also add some Aerify or Aerify PLUS to this mix if desired.
Commercial users should make sure properties get watered within 24 hours and should not apply in temperatures over 90 degrees unless it can be watered right away. Morning applications with more water are advised during warm weather.
Storage. Keep container sealed tightly when not in use. Store in temperatures between 41 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
All products can be applied the same day, except for Yard Guard which is best applied alone and allowed to sit a day or two. Yard Guard can be applied on the same day as your Biological Dethatcher, but only after the Biological Dethatcher has been watered in.
Yes! You can use Biological Dethatcher both before and after putting down new seed. It is a gentle enough product that it won’t harm even the tender newly germinated seedlings.
Yes! Make sure not to use weed and feed or have your lawn treated by services if the lawn is under heat/drought stress, but at all other times this product is compatible with other lawn care programs.
All of our DIY products are safe for pets and children, so they can go on the lawn right away or even be outside with you while you are applying the product.
Ideally your Biological Dethatcher should be used within 1 year after purchase. After that, there is a gradual die-off of the microbes and thatch digesting enzymes which means the product won’t be as effective.
For now we are limited to quart and gallon sizes, but if you are interested in making a bulk purchase (20 gallons or more) please contact us for information on bulk, commercial, and wholesale pricing.
