Aeration is a deliberate move taken by an individual to improve the quality of grass or any other plant that grows on a guarded garden. It serves to reduce impaction of soil thereby allowing easy circulation of air, water and nutrients. This way, the plant obtains sufficient materials for growth and development. In a similar manner, lawn aeration serves to raise grass or plant quality following similar principles stated above.
One has several options in choosing how best to achieve aeration. This could be through one of the simple available means especially while dealing with smaller pieces of land. On the other hand, large portions of land call for application of quick and more mechanized means of intervention.
First in line is the simple use of farm fork. This is driven into soil and wiggled a number of times so as to create holes into the ground. Such holes serve to provide a means by which air circulates into the soil. A second technique involves use of hollow tine to scoop out soil thereby creating aerating holes. Third option involves use of simple foot spikes.
Slitter is yet another effective way of aerating garden and or grass fields. In this particular method, a system of sharp and tough edged metals is aligned so as to enable large coverage and quick completion of the task. Actually, it is the best way to go about large green fields as it provides the most reliable and efficient accomplishment.
Timing is one necessary component of any kind of activity. Wrong timing may therefore make an undertaking less successful or even completely misfired. This is therefore best carried out during times when soil is moist and is neither very wet nor too dry. This way, crops benefit most from the effort exerted. On the other hand, working in very wet lands may lead to much loss of effort without achieving desired aim.
Making decisions to carry out these activities may be a challenging one but there are a few guidelines to direct individuals. One may wait till grass or plant appears changed but this may not be the best way out. By digging out a small square piece of land from the garden, one may be able to determine a need for aeration. Grass roots extending less than five centimeters into the soil demands for interventions to improve drainage.
Alongside aerating activities, there are other useful activities that should equally be carried out alongside these aerating attempts. Such include application of fertilizer after every aerating effort. Adding more grass seeds as may be necessary is equally important. Better still, overhead sprinklers, if available, need to be safeguarded from any harm during lawn aerating activities.
In conclusion therefore, one needs to remember that good scenes are created with some level commitment and economic cost. All the same, proper and timely interventions may be very helpful in minimizing cost while maximizing desired outcomes.
