It is a well know fact that good soil aeration plays a big part in the health of your lawn, as well as the health of your trees, shrubs and other plantings around the home. By definition, soil aeration is the amount of pore or air space in the soil down into and beyond the root zone. Good soil aeration allows water, nutrients , beneficial microbes and plant roots and to move about and interact. Without soil aeration you have a dense clay or compacted soil that chokes roots and wont allow beneficial soil building microbes to survive. Unfortunately, this situation is what many homeowners are faced with.

Organic gardeners know that a rich, bio-active that is loaded with humus will be naturally well-aerated. That is why they till in organic matter and compost into the soil. But we can't do that with established lawns. Instead, we have to improve the soil from the top without hurting the grass. One method of doing that is to topdress with compost for a few years. But a much faster and easier way to improve soil aeration is by using a liquid lawn aerator like our Aerify PLUS.

Aerify PLUS contains a soil penetrant that immediately gets into the bonds of the clay, separating the sticky particles. This creates microscopic air pores and channels. The air allows dormant soil building microbes will wake up and multiply. The Aerify PLUS contains 3 other ingredients that are great for the soil building/aerations process: Kelp, an excellent source or organic matter. Contains contains micro-nutrients from the sea that improve both soil and plant health; Humic Acids, the essential ingredient in humus and compost. Purest form of organic matter. It bioactivates, detoxifies, and energizes soils and plants. Molasses, to help feed the soil micro-organisms and help them generate to necessary levels.

Regular applications of Aerify Plus will gradually change your soil into something you will actually enjoy working with. And this is not just a liquid lawn aerator - you you can use Aerify PLUS on all your trees and plants around your home. As your soil changes you will see improved drainage, deeper rooting, more earthworms, and much better lawn and plant health. Thousands of homeowners as well as many landscapers all over the US and Canada have found this to be a solution to the poor clay or compacted soils they were stuck with. Within months, and sometimes weeks, we get letters attesting to this fact.

What about mechanical core aeration? It still has its uses, especially on the golf course where it was developed as a way to deal with putting green compaction. But does it provide true, long-lasting soil aeration over 100% of the soil ? All we can say is that in the 30 plus years we have been involved with lawn care, we have never had a customer tell us that there soil has really improved due to core aerating. We sold all of our coring machines 15 years ago! We, like many landscape companies, now use liquid lawn aeration on our customers lawns, and they can see the difference.
