What Are Some Fun Facts That You Should Know About Lawn Aeration?
The first thing that you should know about a lawn aerator is that if he doesn't get good plugs on your lawn, it is often not the aerators fault. Mostly it is the weight of the aerator that drives the tires into the lawn and takes out cores. If your ground is excessively hard, there is an normal aerator that is going to be able to give you good plugs. Aerators are just not designed that way.
If you want to get good plugs on your lawn when you take the time to do lawn aeration, then you should make sure to water your lawn in advance before aerating. Usually 10 to 12 hours in advance is good enough so that the water will penetrate and soften your soil. Then, when you aerate your lawn you will get deeper plugs. Then, if you have deeper plugs, every time you water your lawn, the water will go down deeper, and incurs the roots and not only grow thicker, but deeper as well down to where the water is.
