Aerify

The effect of aerification

"So that the lawn can take a deep breath"

The problems: mosses, weeds

You take care of your lawn with a lot of effort, but you have that year after year same problem: Moss Cover the beautiful ornamental grass, the grass becomes brown, Weeds Like dandelion and daisies, the image of your perfect lawn ruin. Not Rarely do this problems among hobby gardeners falling solutions such as "scarifying" and "destroying weeds". However, these usually only offer short -term help. The superficial (10-20 mm deep) of moss is freed from moss by scarifying the lawn, but in many cases that alone is not enough. The reason why weeds spreads on the lawn is usually in a weakened turf, as the grass not enough air receives. Weed killers on a chemical basis also damage your lawn long -lasting. As with human immune system, viruses (weeds) can only nest if the lawn weakens. Rainwater cannot drain and floods the surface. The grass roots do not get enough water while the green is in the water.

Possible reason: waterlogging

A very annoying attacker, for example, is the moss. It spreads quite quickly and overgrowed the beautiful lawn uncompromisingly. Reason For that are often Waterlogging. These usually arise from a strong compression of the earth, for example through impenetrable sound - or clay floors.  The rainwater builds up or the groundwater presses from bottom to top - the consequence is a Root death. Once the soil is so compacted that the rainwater can no longer drain into the earth, it remains on the surface - a good breeding ground for the braids. By removing these mosses, she only achieves a temporary effect. In the long run, another solution is needed: the lawn must be able to take a deep breath. The water gets to the roots through the holes - the water balance regenerates.

 

The solution: aerify the lawn

In order to properly maintain your lawn, it is helpful to work with the functionality of the Terrifying the lawn (Aerify) familiarize. Even if the scarifying is far known, aerification is an indispensable measure to let the lawn shine again in healthy green. The method of aerification was even invented before the scarifying, namely almost a century ago - namely in 1946 by Tom Mascaro. The scarifier, on the other hand, was only launched by Mascaro in 1955. To ensure a perfect lawn, you are on the one hand Locking -effective loosening and drainage of the soil necessary. This happens via Aerifier, because by means of the "Spoons“(Spines) you can penetrate up to ten centimeters into the earth and ensure the necessary ventilation.

A basic distinction is made between two systems: the "spoons" can either consist of full material (i.e. nails) or how sleeves constructed, i.e. be hollow. With the hollow spoons from Lawnpecker If a soil exchange can be made, the cores (earth sausages) collected in the collecting tray are therefore disposed of and, for example, sand, compost or lawn soil. Full spoons, such as the Lawnclaw Working according to the crowding -out principle, the ground gives the ground to remove the necessary gas exchange without earth. 

The right time

The aerification should only be carried out if the lawn is fully in growth. It is advantageous if the lawn has the force to be able to quickly close the gaps that arise before unwanted grass and weeds are faster, this is the case in many regions from April - June. 

This is best done if No heat and Dry periods are to be expected. Ideally, the lawn should be damp, but not wet when you edit it. Then aerification works best.  Even in early autumn, i.e. in September and October The conditions are optimal to ventilate the lawn again. In any case, you should pay attention to the local weather conditions, since regional other aerification times are useful. How you deal with the aerifier and how it works at all can you The functionality of the Lawnpot read. After just a few weeks, the lawn rooted the sand holes.

The subsequent care

It is not enough with the stinging of the holes. So that the roots develop optimally, you should be washed into the resulting holes sand (Grain 0.1 - 2 mm)  comment. The floor gives the soil a processing method permanent drainage, so that the rainwater can penetrate faster and deeper into the ground. It prevents further waterlogging and the dry, sandy lawn surface protect the topsoil below quick drying out. It is advisable to add lawn seeds and fertilizer to the sand, then you will receive excellent results after a short recovery time.

 

The advantages of lawn woodpecker at a glance

  • One Stable universal basic construction and specially constructed sting tubes with Hardened cutting rings - You don't get blunt and the excavation does not get stuck in them.
  • Low effort For the cut -out - due to the special construction of the aerifier. In addition, the cutout is optimally removed.
  • Due to the plastic collecting tray, remain made of plastic no remains of soil lie on the lawn.
  • The lawn gets a processing way of editing permanent drainage, so that rainwater can penetrate faster and deeper into the ground.
  • Waterlogging becomes prevented. In addition, the drying, sandy lawn surface protects the top floor underneath too quickly.
  • Excellent results Due to subsequent fertilization, sewing and a short recovery time.
