Buyplus Launches Fall Lawn Care Kit with New Adjustable Rake and Aerator

Buyplus has released a curated list of essential tools and products for fall lawn maintenance. The selection includes specific fertilizers, rakes, aerators, and seed mixtures designed to prepare grass for winter dormancy and spring growth. The company advises homeowners to consult local agricultural extension programs to determine soil needs before purchasing these items.

The featured fertilizer, Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Lawn Fertilizer Plus Weed, uses a technology described as weed grip. This mechanism is intended to latch onto visible and hidden weeds while strengthening the lawn. The product contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Users should monitor application rates, as overfertilizing can lead to crabgrass growth.

For leaf removal, Buyplus recommends the Buyplus Adjustable Garden Leaf Rake. The tool features a rust-resistant steel handle and teeth. The rake head expands to 23 inches or folds down to eight inches. The pole head extends from 24 inches to 63 inches to accommodate users of varying heights. Some customers reported that the handle felt weak during use.

The list also includes the Agri-Fab Tow Plug Aerator. This device attaches to a lawnmower and uses 32 galvanized knives to penetrate the soil. The width of the unit allows it to cover large areas of lawn quickly. Assembly of the aerator can take up to four hours. The tool is designed to relieve soil compaction and control thatch accumulation, according to Colorado State Extension.

Seed options on the list include a mix of tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and fine fescue. This specific mixture is recommended for lawns that receive four to six hours of sunlight daily with moderate shade. The blend contains fertilizer to stimulate growth and is described as disease-resistant and drought-tolerant. Some users noted that the mixture may contain too much ryegrass for certain lawn types.

Other products in the lineup include Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food for general strengthening and a plant-based organic fertilizer that contains no chemicals or manure. The organic option is granular and does not contaminate groundwater, though it contains corn that can attract critters. An Ames True Temper rake is also listed, featuring two rows of tines for faster coverage of large yards.

Prices for these items reflect the date of publication and are subject to change. The retailer notes that it spends thousands of hours researching and testing products.
