12 The Queens Courier • at home • JULY 17, 2014 for breaking news visit www.queenscourier.com Smart lawn tools that get the job done Small lawns have many of the same needs and issues as larger lawns, but they don’t always require the same bulky tools to get the job done. If you’re looking to outfit your arsenal, consider these tools. • Easy thatch dispatchers – Thatch removal tools slice through and lift thatch. The push-powered, wheeled Combisystem Vertical Cutter removes matted thatch and aerates the lawn soil at the same time. For those who prefer manual raking, there’s the sharp-bladed True Temper Thatch Rake. • Lawn care at the flip of a switch – The new lightweight, hand-carried, battery-powered Ready2Go Spreader is specifically designed to make quick work of small lawns, slopes and tight spaces. It comes pre-loaded with popular lawn care products from Preen, GreenView and Vigoro. Each unit is pre-calibrated for its product so no further adjustments are ever needed. To use the spreader, just pick it up, flip the switch and walk to cover up to 2,500 square feet to fertilize or treat the lawn. • Give a small lawn an edge – The GreenWorks 12 Amp Corded Edger is sturdy, lightweight, easy to maneuver and ideally suited to creating crisp tidy edges in turf along borders of walkways, driveways, paths and garden or landscape beds.
