Aerate Your Lawn for Good Lawn Care
When it comes to good lawn care one of the most important things you can do to ensure the health of your lawn is to aerate your lawn. Aeration is the process of poking holes in the dirt so the exchange of air and fluids are more easily facilitated at the ground level. By aerating your lawn you make sure that the air exchange cycle is more easily completed. Aeration will also help the water from rains and watering reach deeper into the soil and hit the roots. Aerating your lawn isn’t difficult and there are plenty of tools out there that will help you to get the job done. According to a gardening website that I frequent you should try to aerate your lawn at least twice a year. Once in the spring and once in the fall. Make sure that you don’t poke too deep in the soil where you end up damaging your plants fragile root system.
