VERTIDRAIN
Why aerate?
Soils that have become compacted restrict root growth, so stunting healthy leaf growth..
Compacted soils restrict drainage, saturated soils have reduced strength.
De-compacted helps prevent weed growth.
De-compacted soils promote the absorption of essential nutrients.
When aerate?
Aeration should be carried out on a regular basis, it is normally undertaken in the Spring or Autumn, but wet conditions are avoided as this may cause damage.
Vertidraining is a aeration process, driving either solid or hollow tines to a depth of 300mm, with a "kick" this decompacts the soil. Impoves drainage and allows for greater absorption of nutrients leading to stronger root growth and a stronger leaf
This is an ideal preparation for sand/compost spreading, it allows the sand to penatrate the soil sor optimum drainage and for the compost to get to the heart of the root growth
