I am preparing my lawn for winter. I am also preparing my lawn for topdressing. Core aeration will help the travel of nutrients, water, and oxygen to the roots of your turf. Mechanical aeration is the best kind of aeration.

Your lawn looks better than a golf course in my opinion. This is the lawn and guy who started this reel mower craze. I remember when your channel started everyone was cutting 4" high.

I core aerated my 600m2 (6500sqf) lawn manually in last spring. Two cores at a time... Took me 3 nights to finish it but definitely made my lawn healthy and green. I left the cores on the lawn but next time I'm gonna collect them because it took like 3-4 weeks for them to decompose completely!

When I worked at the golf course we'd use that toro plugger on the greens. Fun machine to use. We'd do 9 holes one day 9 holes the next. We didnt have a way to really haul the machine so you pretty much walked the whole course and then every green. I liked it though. You know what you gotta do and gotta get done and i like working outside.

Good loam has equal parts sand and silt, and half as much clay. If you want your clay to be loam then you need to add sand (and silt).

The last time I aerated I didn't check the underside of the rental. The user before me must have had terrible crab grass. I inoculated an entire section of lawn with crab grass seed. I top dressed with a ten to one sand/peat moss mix. Wow did that ever energize the crab grass. Took a good while to over come that mess! Thanks for the great content Grass Master Ward! Did I hear you mention earlier you have video of the new top dresser in action?

A pull behind lawn rake would probably save you a ton of time to pick up the cores! Great video. Have always just aerated and over seeded here in indiana (did mine a few weeks ago on a new construction lawn). Trying to get the gumption to top dress, as well. Maybe start with compost here?

Connor, I live on a hill and I mow my grass wearing nike steel cleats and it really helps a lot. I bet they would be very helpful for your lawn especially when you're doing aeration? You don't see many people talk about this. I bet it's actually helping the lawn too. By punching holes everywhere you walk. I wear them for the traction but I'm thinking I'm getting other benefits?
