Aeration

Aeration is an important process to help keep the ground conditions optimal for turf growth by allowing moisture, nutrients, and oxygen to reach down to the plant roots. Aeration helps reduce compaction within the soil, encourage deep root growth and boosts ground drainage. Redexim offers a range of implements, each using different methods of aeration, deep tine, core, spike, and linear.

Deep tine aerators create deep holes into the turf without removing any soil. Redexim’s Verti-Drain models insert tines which kicks to lift and shatter soil in a uniform manner. This helps reduce compaction and creates enough space for water and air to reach deep grass roots.

Linear aerators use discs or knives to make continuous slit lines into the soil, creating ideal drainage channels while also encouraging air into turf surfaces. Fitted with powered blades, Redexim’s Verti-Quake can de-compact soil laterally, creating space for air and water while boosting plant growth.

Core aerators use hollow or coring tines which remove soil and thatch from the turf surface. Extracted material can be redistributed across the turf surface, while the holes made can be filled with sand or any other topdressing which will help re-establish and boost deep root growth.

Spike or slit aeration is a passive process which creates air and drainage channels in the top layer of the soil structure. Blades enter the turf quickly, leaving very little surface disruption. This method of aeration is an efficient and fast process which can be adaptable to different ground and soil types.
