Why Aerify the Greens?Why Aerify the Greens? Maintaining or even improving the rate water moves into soils is an important part of
aeration. The procedure creates channels in the upper portion of the soil profile that allow water to percolate or move into the soil profile more rapidly
Aerification also increases the amount of space available for oxygen (air) to penetrate the soil, which is critical for root growth and, ultimately, plant growth.
Removal of organic matter (or thatch) from the upper portion of the soil profile and replacement with new sand topdressing to modify the existing soil may be the most critical reasons to aerate greens.
The bottom line is, aeration is performed for the health of the grass and, ultimately, the playability of the putting greens. Greens with less organic matter, properly managed through aeration and other techniques, will be better greens on a season-long basis.
