??What is Aeration? Lawns are notorious for becoming compacted over time. The dense matting of grass as well as constant foot traffic cause soil to become dense, making it harder for air, nutrients, and water to reach the roots of your lawn. Aeration is one way to solve this problem. By punching little holes into the soil, you're giving roots access to the essential resources they need (water, air, nutrition). ??The Benefits of Aeration Most of these apply to core aeration and not just dethatching: Soil absorbs more water ??Reduces soil compaction ??Thatch breaks down easier ??The lawn is more resistant to heat and drought stress ??Oxygen uptake of soil increases ??Stronger root development ??Fertilizer and nutrients in the soil are more easily used by grass ??Water runoff decreases significantly.??How to Aerate Your Lawn? If you're set on aerating your lawn, there are a few tips to help you do it correctly: ??Make sure your soil is moist. Aerating a lawn that is dry will make your job a lot harder, as the force required to pull out the plugs is much greater in dry soil. Wait until after a rain or a sprinkler run to aerate. ??Allow your soil plugs to dry, then break them down. It’s not necessary to manually break down your soil plugs, but it does help speed up the process. You can run a rake over them to break them down. ??Run over your lawn more than once. Most aeration machines or manual aerators don’t cover much surface area, so it’s a good idea to run over each section more than once for full coverage. ??Continue to care for your lawn. Aeration doesn't solve everything — you still need to mow, fertilize, water, and care for your lawn.
