Aeration of Lawns

If the lawn has a healthy Soil Biology supporting it, it will be naturally aerated and 50% air..

The majority of current lawn management only degrades Soil Biology which leads to compacted soil, as there is no Soil Biology and the soil collapses on itself and becomes compacted.

Unless the Soil Biology is present any intervention to relieve compaction, to aerate the lawn/soil, will in a very short time fail, as the underlying issue is not solved.

Hollow and Solid Tine Aeration, Slitting, Dethatching etc address the problem, not the cause.

Ruskins can decompact using the latest air injection machines and install the Soil Biology.

The Soil Biology then associates with the roots of the grass, it aerates the soil, ensures the grass is more resilient, grows stronger, is healthier and a more natural colour.

Chemical fertilisers kill Soil Biology by unbalancing the soil. Upto 70-80% gets washed through the soil and contaminates ground water.

The cherry on the cake, is to understand the damage to your lawn that cut and collect mowing is doing. The valuable organic matter (grass cuttings) is created from nutrients from the soil. These should be returned to the soil. To remove them from the garden (week after week year after year), takes energy from the system and places it on a strict diet. Grass should be cut with a mulching mower, this returns the valuable organic matter to the soil, to become food for the Soil Biology.
