Deep Tine Aerators are specifically designed to penetrate deep into the soil to maximize water percolation, root growth, and air flow to the root system. With deep tine aerification, an 8-10” channel can be created every 3-4 inches on square. These channels allow air to pentrate the soil providing the plant roots the required oxygen needed to thrive and grow. As new roots are developed this spring, the young roots enter these deep tine channels and can extend deep into the soil profile with ease. A deep and expansive root system will create a healthy plant, enabling it to withstand the heat and droughty periods that may arrive throughout the summer.
Later this spring, I will revisit this topic and provide photographs of turfgrass roots extending well past a 6-inch depth on greens. The photos will illustrate the impact of a spring deep tine aeration on root growth. Roots extending 6+ inches are exceptional for greens mown well below 1/8 inch.
