AERATION
Power
core aeration is one of the most important cultural practices available
for your lawn. Aeration helps control thatch, improves the soil
structure, helps create growth pockets for new roots, and opens
the way for water and fertilizer to reach the root zone of your
lawn.
Annual
or semiannual aeration is advised for all lawns on heavy clay soils,
those with a thatch buildup, and any lawn that needs to be "thickened
up".
HOW
AERATION WORKS
Aeration
removes thousands of small cores of soil 1 to 3" in length
from your lawn. These cores "melt" back
into the lawn after a few rainfalls, mixing with whatever thatch
exists on your lawn. The holes created by aeration catch fertilizer
and water. Turf roots naturally grow toward these growth pockets
and thicken in the process. Aeration holes also relieve pressure
from compacted soils, letting oxygen and water more freely into
the root zone.
REGULAR
AERATION CAN HELP AVOID COSTLY LAWN RENOVATION
Thatch
on your lawn works like a thatched roof. This layer of roots, stems
and other plant parts sheds water and prevents fertilizers and insect
controls from moving freely into the soil. Thatch that is too heavy
can make major lawn renovation necessary. Regular aeration helps
thatch break down naturally by mixing the soil cores into the thatch
and speeding up decomposition. Performed once or twice per year,
aeration significantly reduces thatch and improves turf growth.
