When to Aerate your lawn
When To Aerate Your Lawn would reap as a soggy lawn and apply fertilizer winter in June , aeration also need a specific time. The time of year that aerates and frequency depend on the type of grass and dirt .
Know your lawn
Lawns are divided into two different categories: warm season and cool season . Warm-season grasses begin their active growth period in the summer. If a lawn aerating warm season from late spring to early summer, the subsequent period of rapid growth immediately fill the holes you created.
The cool-season grass emerges in the lethargy of summer, early fall , and grows vigorously for low temperatures and reduced the powers of typical autumn weeds . Strong growth helps the lawn recover quickly from the stress of aeration. The warning Fall aeration is: Calculate the aeration to allow four weeks of growth before frost .
Aeration land varies
Each type of soil requires more frequent aeration . The clay soil is compacted easily and must be aerated at least once a year . You can aerate a sandy lawn once a year or you can do it every other year . In arid climates , aerate twice a year will improve the growth and health of the lawn. If your lawn is often busy or used for parking cars, fan it once a year .
Tips to recognize the best
When I know it's going to aerate , fertilize do just before or replant grass. Aeration creates openings for nutrients and penetrate the ground seeds .
Control weeds before airing , as the aeration process can spread weed seeds or parts of roots of weeds.
Wait at least a year to aerate newly planted lawns, so they can set right.
Aerate when the soil is moist but not saturated . The trunks of a lawn aerator penetrate deeper moist soil , soil that is too wet clogs the stems. To achieve the correct balance of moisture should soak your lawn 1 inch of water received through rainfall or irrigation before aeration. This may mean that should water for an hour a day before aerating, or if your soil is hard , for periods shorter several days before aerating .
Avoid aerating during a drought or heat. If you aerated in these conditions will stress the lawn allowing heat to dry the floor.
