What is soil aeration?
aANSWERSoil aeration involves repeatedly puncturing the lawn surface to relieve the effects of soil compaction and to provide new, open channels for air, moisture and nutrients to reach the grass roots. Core aeration is the preferred approach when seeding, because in this process, the soil core, or plug, is actually returned to the lawn surface, where it breaks down, providing an excellent environment for new seed germination.
