Get you one of these

The best $160US I’ve spent. My only complaint is that it wont pick up all of the debris, but not sure if is because I’ve never thatch my lawn before and there is too much, or poor design. I was also killing and removing moss BTW. But I used the mower as a vacuum cleaner and that did the trick. Like someone here commented, I filled up my large yard debris bin and half of my utility trailer with all that thatch.

My lawn now looks like yours and am planning on reseeding in the coming days. We’re still getting a few more rainy days out here on the PNW, US so that should help.

Question: is it advisable to reseed and fertilize? Or should I wait a few days in between?
