Yeah, I also hired a corer and by god are they hard to manouvre!! (getting a bit old for this)
I also like to spray the lawn with wetta soil before watering, I buy the 1 litre concentrated and put half in the container that you connect a hose to and fill it up with water, makes the water penetrate the soil deeper.
Have also heard a cheaper way is to just use dishwashing liquid instead of wetta soil as it's the "sufactant" part that is important.
I wouldnt have called my lawn heavily thatched but 2/3 filled a 4 cubic metre waste bin and boy are they expensive to hire ($240)
All up this would have cost me over $400, hiring a waste bin, scarifyer, corer and trailer to transport it all, best to organise a whole property clean up at the same time, or share with neighbours
Will try to post a pic later on
PS Should add I also hired a rotary lawn mower for the heavy work of picking up after the scarifying as I didnt want to use the Diplomat for such heavy work. :-)
