Aeration
The first aeration of the greens this winter has just been completed, we used our Verti-drain which can penetrate up to 30cm into the soil. We usually alternate between deep aeration with the Verti-drain and shallower but more closely spaced tining. Aeration helps us maintain a healthy well drained soil with deep rooted fine grasses. It is essential for the production of high quality playing surfaces all year round.
