Due to several phone calls and requests for information -
The Grass Stitcher - www.grassstitcher.com - is a very heavy-duty hand tool used to cultivate soil, do mini plowing jobs, and remove weedy areas or even help to aerate small areas. Organic grass guys should not go with out one. It is an awesome new tool in my toolbox. I picked up one at the GIE show and got to use it everyday this past Nov.
We all have been using the Garden Weasel that has worked great - unfortunately they are for light duty and tend to wear out with commercial use - built for the home owner. The GW tines break and the pins that hold them on are a joke.
The Grass Stitcher is all resin plastic down there and if that resin plastic is as tough as I think it is then I don't see how you could break it. The tines are all one piece resin plastic with a heavy duty circle plastic in the center that rotate around another plastic rod - they inter connect so no pins are required, that would break - except a heavy duty cotter pin at the end and outside the commercial aluminum frame. This GS is very heavy-duty hand tool.
Another cool feature is it has a footpad. It will just poke holes or completely rip up the turf or weeds with more foot pressure. But the #1 feature is it lays a great seed bed prep, both for pure dirt or to just thicke existing grass. I also bought two more sets of tines so I can have a double wide set or singlewide set - depends on the area I need to do. We also noticed the grass growth pattern (when it germinated) was zig zagged - like a zipper or stitch - not in rows. That is very cool!
I like it allot and it will help me big time. We have done some areas with it this past fall that wore us out but we did not have to bring out the big guns my Lawn Solutions Turf Revitalizer (MY #1 money maker). Some areas we did with the GS, as large as 500 sq ft - I would never even try that with a Weasel - it's a great tool for the box.
