| Aeration
is the process of using a mechanical,
liquid, or manual lawn aerator to aerate
your lawn. Making holes in the surface
of your lawn allows deeper root growth
and reduces soil compaction. A lawn
aerator allows air, water, and nutrients
direct access to the root system. Not
only does lawn aerating give you a better
looking lawn, but it also thickens the
turf and this promotes deeper root growth
by allowing the roots to expand and
grow deeper into the soil. Lawn aeration
holes hold water, softening hard soil
and giving clay soils more room for
expansion.
Most
experts recommend you should aerate
your lawn every 1-3 years. If you
have hills, pets or active outdoor
children you may even need it twice
a year. The best time to fertilize
and over seed is just after you aerate
your lawn. If you have bad soil, you
should aerate at least once a year
for the first five yearsof your lawn's
life. After a lawn is established,
most experts still recommend that
you aerate once every three years.
