Doc explains lawn aeration. LINKS → www.howtowithd...
Aerating our lawns is great for lawn health. Lawn aeration is done during the active growing season and is usually done by core aeration. In this video Doc does spike aeration on the putting green and explains the difference.

I’m obsessed with learning how to make my Bermuda lawn look good. New home and last summer I had straw. I put down humichar, 101010 and pe. I got the fertilizer ready. Thank u for all the information you post

Thanks for all your information. I subscribed last year. I was late getting started but I started working on my lawn by following your suggestions. By the end of the growing season it really looked better than ever. Thanks again

I'm getting excited for this season. So far I have Aerated and over seeded my yard. Hoping to get more growth before I start tackling the weeds since I didn't get out early enough and pre treat it

I would argue that picking up the cores should be based on your soil type. If you have clay soil, 100% pick them up.

Interesting to hear your position on aerating and breaking pre-emergent barrier. I agree, I think its not that big a deal either.

Thanks for this. I got exhausted trying to weed and feed my lawn so I pay a company to come out every month. I'm just too busy. However, I asked them about my moss problem and they won't treat it. They said my soil is too compact and holds moisture so they recommend aerating it. I never heard of that before.

Hey doc thanks for the informative videos. What do you think of soil conditioner/liquid aeration products? In conjunction with physical aeration, will that help loosen compact clay soil?

I leave my cores and tell my customers to stay off for three weeks. The cores in turn will act as plugs and in most cases root right in. Also, aerated lawns need to be watered a couple times a week if no rain.

Hey Doc. I have tall fescue and trying to learn from you but this is contradictory to what you have on your cool season lawn calendar, which has the hot summer months marked for aeration, June through September. Wouldn’t growing season and aeration be in spring and fall for cool season lawn like Fescue? Cheers

This is off subject but I thought this was the fastest way to ask. My lawn had a drip system that I converted to above ground sprinklers. That left my celebration Bermuda lawn pretty beat up. Is it a good idea to do an over seed to rejuvenate my lawn back ?

Had my lawn aerated a few years ago by someone who had the aerator but I don't have a trailer to carry a rented machine. Plus it's only me now. I do dethatch my lawn yearly with a low-cost dethatcher, but is there even such a thing as a lower (than $3K) cost home aerator that does a half-decent annual job that I can keep at home? Thanks ...
