Lawn Aerator
Lawn aerator is one piece of equipment you should consider to buy, to keep your garden lawn looking vibrant and healthy, using the correct grass seeds and the right fertilizer is not enough on its own to keep your garden turf healthy.
It is important that your garden lawn gets the right amount of air down into the soil, this is where the aerator is a necessary piece of equipment to have. If your turf is starting to look a bit dull and not very healthy, then this could be a sign that your soil underneath the turf is over compacted.
This leads to air and water not being able to get down to the root base of your turf, which will cause the route system to suffer and lead to an unhealthy outcome.
By using an aerator you will remove a small round core out of your turf, this allows the air and water to sink into soil system giving your garden much needed nutrients to produce healthy looking turf.
Once you have completed the aeration of the lawn you must remember to remove the cores that are left on the surface from the aerator, if these are not removed they will eventually compact causing more damage to the turf structure.
For you to get the required results from aeration you are better off using your aerator when the lawn and the soil is slightly damp, this allows the lawn aerator to get down to the required depth to give the best results.
