KEEPING LEAVES AT BAY...

Besides the beautiful picturesque views that autumn brings, there is one hurdle that all gardeners face. As autumn approaches, leaves fall to the ground making lawns, patios and gardens look untidy as well as presenting a potential hazard on paths and walkways. In the past it was common for gardeners to have to tirelessly rake their lawn by hand in order to remove leaves, which was a very time consuming and tiring job. The same job can be done today in a fraction of the time with one of AL-KO's powerful blower / vacuums.

Handheld Blower / Vacuum

For small to medium sized gardens, the AL-KO Hurricane is the perfect companion, either blow or vacuum leaves quickly and easily, clearing the lawn / path and producing a fine leaf mulch for use as compost around the garden. The AL-KO Hurricane is leightweight yet powerful and, with its front mounted roller wheels, it is extremely easy to use, especially in hard to reach corners of the garden.

Wheeled Vacuum

With the 750B and 750H Easy-Vac, the job gets even easier. These powerful petrol wheeled vacuums can cover large areas easily, with a large 200 litre collection bag and a 75cm working width, both models are perfect for large lawns and patios, as well as for clearing driveways and paths. The 750B is powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, while the Easy-Vac is fitted with a Honda version.

THE EASIEST WAY TO A HEALTHY LAWN

Most people don't realise that their lawn is constantly growing moss and thatch on the surface of the soil. This moss and thatch prevents water, air and sunlight from reaching the grass and its roots, and therefore not allowing the grass to breath and feed. This results in an unhealthy lawn that does not have the rich green colour and thick appearance that it should.

Aerating

Aerating is a process involving blades penetrating the surface of the soil down to the roots of the grass. These blades leave slits in the surface of the soil which allows air and water into the roots of the grass, giving them more of the nutrients that they need to be healthy.

Scarifying

Scarifying is a less intense process than aerating, where spring tines spin and rake out the moss and thatch from the surface of the soil. This allows the air, water and sunlight to reach the base of the grass and its roots.

The AL-KO aerator/scarifier range is designed to eliminate these problems, and restore lawn to a rich and healthy green. With 5 models to choose in either petrol or electric, there is a perfect machine for any lawn of any size. The 32/38VLE and 38VLB Combi models are truly unique, featuring interchangeable cassettes which can aerate or scarify, and require no tools to interchange. This gives users greater flexibility around the garden, at a fraction of the price of owning two dedicated machines.

AL-KO also offers a dedicated aerator. The 250v powered 38VE and Briggs & Stratton powered 3800VB, ideal for when tough jobs demand strength and reliability.

MAKE MORE OF YOUR GARDEN WITH AN AL-KO CULTIVATOR

The Green Reaper realises that a garden is much more than just a lawn and, in order to help you fulfill its potential, AL-KO have produced a comprehensive range of cultivators to transform gardens and allotments into superb growing plots for both flowers and vegetables.

With four models in the range, there is a machine to suite every garden's needs, from the electric hand-held GPH250 for small kitchen gardens up to the flagship MH5060 petrol model which digs heavy soil in larger flower beds and allotments.

GPH Series

The GHP250 is primarily a hand-held electric tiller, very lightweight yet powerful and perfect for turning light soil. A unique feature of the GPH is its ability to turn soil in between flowers and crops due to its compact size. This also allows for easy removal of weeds.

MH Series

The MH Series cultivators are powered by Briggs & Stratton engines and feature high quality heavy duty tines. There are three MH models, the MH350 which is suitable for kitchen gardens and smaller areas, the MH5001 which is suitable for medium to large areas including allotments, and finally the MH5060 which is better suited to larger gardens and allotments due to its large 75cm working width.

With AL-KO cultivators, preparing the ground for growing crops has never been easier.
