I have a couple of areas or lawn that need to be reseeded this fall. Overseeding hasn't been working and I don't really want to till it all up. I need to disturb the surface enough to break the thatch and other dried junk so I can get good dirt contact for the seed.
Drag or Spike harrows run a couple of hundred dollars for a loose one and quote a bit higher for a three point rigid version. I have a landscape rake I might use, but the tines are flat and about an inch wide, so they may do more surface damage than I'd like. So, to the question:
1. Is there something I can add to the tines to make them more pointed?
2. Is there some kind of replacement tine with a point or stiff wire like would be found on a harrow?
