Has anyone heard of a thatching blade to put on a lawn mower? Are they easy to use? Are they even worth getting? Are they useful for ripping out dead moss? I know I ask alot about moss, but here in NW Washington, that's my main concern. Fast, quick, and easy moss removal. Any help is appreciated.

Are they easy
ripping out dead
that's my
appreciated.
There are such blades for rotary mowers. My experience is that they do remove the thatch, but in the process, they beat the remaining grass to a pulp. This then demands careful raking while it "heals" to keep the grass from matting down and composting itself. If you do use one of these blades, run the mower at the slowest RPM possible, and never stop moving without lifting the blade from the ground.
