Another successful greens aerification is behind us. Sunny skies and wind provided great conditions for the sand to dry and to be worked into the aerification holes.
Aerification holes were created at depths of 4" as well as 12" deep. The holes were filled with sand by brooming and blowing the sand into the holes.
Aerification benefits include:
- compaction relief
- increased water infiltration
- firmer and faster greens
- deeper roots and healthier plants
