This year we have purchased a new aerator, so that we can increase the amount of aeration that can be done to the greens. This aerator gives us the option to aerate through the season with 8mm diameter tine to a depth of 260mm with out disturbing the surface.
This will benefit the greens promoting a healthier root system and healthier plant. The aeration will reduce the run off we get when we use the irrigation system, as it will penetrate into the soil and the water will get into the soil profile where it is required.
This will also help get wetting agents in to the soil profile and help the turf show more drought resistance.
The aim is to use this aerator monthly through out the season in conjunction with the top dressing and rolling programme that we currently do.
