I was WRONG about aeration, there I said it. I get a lot of questions on the channel about is lawn aeration even needed. Today we will look at the science behind how and why you should aerate your lawn. The best tools to do it, includes some tools that you can use if you don't have the proper tools.
Everything from a drill, shoes that have spikes on them, a pitch fork, a couple of different manual aerators to a gas powered aerator and the best way to remove the cores off the lawn
DIY lawn care should be fun and easy to get right, with my channel I show you how the pro's do it and we break that method down to show how you can take the tricks professional groundsmen use and apply it to your own lawn today

The garden fork works wonders, i had a patch of grass that was going slightly yellow after a reseed as there was originally paving slabs down in that area the grass was growing but very slow and patchy , also it would always flood in that area when ever it rained, i put the fork right down in a fair few places and now the grass is growing lovely and green again and even better when i put some lawn feed down made sure it went down in those little holes, very handy tip and one i wouldn't of known had it not been for this channel thanks 👍

If you are spreadding compost or fresh soil. I suppose removing the cores would be ok. But for the average person that is only aerating. It is pretty important that you leave the cores on the lawn. As they will naturally break back down within a week or two. Returning essential nutrients back into the soil. If you are in any kind of rush to get it done for any reason. You can use the back side of a steel rake to break them down. Or even mow over them with a lawn mower to do the same. But they really should not be removed.

in the northeastern U.S., where we're "blessed" with horrid clay soil, yes, aeration is definitely needed. otherwise the top layer of soil becomes a compact nightmare. especially in the summer heat, it's like asking your lawn to do well in concrete.

I was given one of those 5 prong aeration forks and found it impossible to push into the ground. In desperation I hammered two of the prongs ( 2&4) flat and not only did it penetrate easier but also threw out the cores. Dipping the prongs into soapy water every now and then also helped .

@gordonwood1594
@gordonwood1594 9 месяцев назад
If your soil is really heavy you may be better off cutting or flattening three prongs. Another use I found for the thing is as a mini broadfork in the borders it works well loosening the top four inches of soil with little effort. The fork went from being the most useless thing in the shed to my favourite tool overnight.@@TheRumpusView

@roger4880
@roger4880 Год назад
Thanks Robbie. What were you wrong about, did you forget to include that at the end? Personally I prefer to top dress yearly, build the soil ecology and allow the worms and natural processes to combine the new and old materials. Pulling out cores disturbs the soil structure and brings up weed seeds, its why you see Poa A often appear where a worm cast was. No home owner equipment will improve the soil enough to warrant the negatives, verti drainers and toro pro core machines are in a different league to anything shown so it isn't the same. The spacing of the tines for one is much tighter. I'm sure the Swardman is well made but £150 is far too high, my Roughneck landscape rake is £50 and is made from aluminium and fibreglass, almost a meter wide - just as a comparison for a well built tool. Loved your Golf course video btw, excellent insight into the preparations that go into rebuilding a green.

@justinbailey2806 Год назад
I think the manual core aeration tubes need to be necked down like a bullet casing, so there is a small cutter restriction only, then the tube gets larger diameter and allows the core plug to easily be pushed up and out the top. A lot of the core aerators don't have a well designed tool tip like that. Also if you have some rocks, a masonry bit at least 1/2 or 5/8 can last longer and penetrate deeper ground better than an auger bit.

@paulhollingsworth8729
@paulhollingsworth8729 Год назад
Yeah but I have one like this - the tube is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top: the soil still gets clogged. I have to stop every few feet to push the soil through with an old screwdriver. Our soil is quite claggy - maybe if you've got more sand in the soil it works better but then your probably don't need to aerate as much either. Maddening.
@justinbailey2806
@justinbailey2806 Год назад
@@paulhollingsworth8729 Check the inside of the tubes for excess weld blobs, I used a dremel and a carbide burr to remove some of that and also a polishing bit to get it really smooth and shiny inside the tubes, that made a big difference for mine. I have a yard butler brand tool with 2 tubes. I also sharpended the angled tips somewhat. Store it clean and dry so it doesn't rust inside the tubes between uses and develop a rough surface inside. The ground moisture level is important, somewhat damp not too dry.

Cracking video as ever Robbie. Quick question: Our lawn's about to enter its second Spring & it's looking a bit ropey. It survived brilliantly through the first winter and actually came back thicker than before & looked brilliant all through the second summer but I'm less confident about this year. As I said, the grass looks quite patchy & there's quite a lot of compacted matter & standing water on the surface where the grass has gone a bit thin. Is it safe to use the scarifier with the aerator head in yet or should I leave it? Cheers, Dave in Salford.

Anyone tried one of those Swordman Aerators on a heavy clay lawn? Does it work well?

Ive used landzie hollow tine very similar to swardman there good as long as the ground isn't bone dry I used in middle summer once for a family member had to leave hose on then it was alot better. Our area is very clay like. Spring and summer it pretty easy just time consuming I did 80sq metres in 2-3 hours bit tiring but deep holes very good. The holes look pretty huge but they close up after a couple weeks or so. Wear good pair of shoes cos pushing piece of steel into ground over and over will hurt your feet like hell after If u got a huge garden id consider hiring a proper machine for time saving and saving your body lol machine evenly spaces holes too while manual u have to eye it up easy to mess them up your always trying keep them in line.

@@alaskanmalamute101 Thanks. Yeah, I've hired a machine before, but worked out about £125 for a 125sqm lawn, which isn't really a good spend of money. A quick hour's manual once a month would probably do a better job in reality. Thanks for the advice.

@@ianpeete5437 I wouldn't put my faith in something like that. Soil samples for a lawn should be taken from multiple places across the lawn And sent away to a lab to be properly tested, especially if you are thinking about altering your lawn I'm not the best person to seek advice from, best to get onto Google and seek out some companies that provide that service and talk to them about it

Good soil is 50% space, which is filled with half air and half water.

You’re speaking from the perspective of a UK guy who has a loamy soil I bet. Southern USA is sandy or clay. You have to add context.
