Linear aeration
Linear aeration is an aeration process that allows water to penetrate the soil and to be retained in the proper amounts. Additionally, it can also add organic nutrition and soil softeners (such as humus, topsoil, compost, sand or clay) if necessary. Gardens With linear aeration, organic matter is added on top of the soil surface between planting cycles. Then, grooves are cut into the soil to allow the amendments and additives to enter. Finally, the grooves are recovered in the same passage. Lawns Here's Linear aeration can also help to alleviate excessive water in lawn areas. First, necessary organic matter is added on top of the turf. Then, grooves are cut into the turf to allow soil additives to penetrate. Finally, the grooves are recovered in the same passage." Benefits of linear aeration Gardens Promotes stronger and deeper root development, for plant health and drought tolerance. Permits proper distribution of soil amendments and additives. Allows organic nutrition absorption. Lawns Alleviates soil compaction in heavily traveled areas. Provides smoother lawn surfaces. Drastically reduces disruption of actual turf surface compared to coring or plugs aeration. Causes minimal interruption of use of athletic fields.
