We have kept our largest aerifier busy poking holes over the winter. This machine is typically equipped with solid tines, so no core is pulled.
What's the benefit of this process? The solid tining has several functions:
- Relieves compaction
- Creates channels for water to infiltrate
- Improves gas exchange in the soil
- Provides pore space for root growth
With the practice tee now open, the divots are flying, and it will need every advantage it can get to make it through the season. Holes will help!
