How To Aerate A Lawn For Better Airflow And Oxygen Supply?

Aerating your lawn, especially for Matilda buffalo turf, involves creating holes for better airflow and oxygen supply, combating soil compaction. Methods include spike and plug aeration, with options for manual or automatic processes using tools like handheld aerators or gas-powered machines. After aeration, fertilizing is crucial for optimal turf health. For more information Visit: https://aviewturf.com.au/matilda-buffalo/

  2. How To Aerate A Lawn For Better Airflow And Oxygen Supply? DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAWN AERATION • No matter what turf you are using on your lawn, you will surely experience some patchy areas. • Soil compaction is the biggest offender behind this, and it is also seen with Matilda buffalo turf. • Soil compaction means flattened soil that is dense enough to restrict any airflow inside the soil. • Decreased airflow translates into less oxygen content, and as a result, nutrients begin to diminish. • The solution to this is soil aeration, and this can be done on any turf. • Vendors of soft leaf buffalo turf and turf suppliers offer lawn aeration services of different types. • WHAT IS SPIKE AERATOR? • Spike aeration means forcing holes into the soil for the air to circulate. • WHAT IS PLUG AERATING? • Plug aerating involves removing plugs of soil and grass. • It is considered a more effective method, as it hollows out chunks of grass and soil.

  3. HOW IS MANUAL AERATION PERFORMED? • These shoes work in the same manner, and the only difference is that you walk with the spikes to create holes. • Drum aerators are also used for aeration, and this technique involves rolling a drum with spikes on the lawn. • Aeration can be done using several tools before laying Matilda buffalo turf. • Manual aeration is considered amoretraditional process but ideal only for smallerareas. • A handheld aerator is the ideal tool, and it works almost like a pitchfork. • The spikes are stabbed into the soft leaf buffalo grass, and plugs or holes are left in the ground. • Another option is using aerator shoes for this.

  4. WHAT IS AUTOMATIC AERATION? • Automatic aeration is done using several tools and techniques. • They are primarily powered tools to help in this activity. • Gas-powered aerators work like a lawnmower, but instead of cutting, spikes are used to create holes in the ground. • Pull-behind aerators are drums that can be pulled behind a riding lawnmower, making it an automatic process. • Both machines are great for larger properties before growing Matilda buffalo or soft leaf buffalo turf. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AERATION? • Once you have completed the aerating part, you must fertilise your lawn. • Experts also recommend applying compost as the top layer. • This dressing will allow fertiliser to reach the roots efficiently.
