The 'non-driven' Aerator cartridge permeates the soil with small holes which allows air, water and nutrients to pass through more easily to the grassroots. This helps the roots grow more deeply, meaning a healthier, thicker and more luscious lawn.
The Aerator also removes soil compaction and helps water move into the soil profile. Aerating your lawn involves making small holes in the soil to allow water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. Benefits include:
- Improved soil health: Breaks up compacted soil, improving drainage and allowing air and water to reach the roots more easily.
- Enhanced nutrient absorption: Allows fertilisers and nutrients to reach the roots more effectively.
- Reduced thatch build-up: Breaks up the layer of dead grass and organic material that can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots.
- Improved stress tolerance: Makes grass more resilient to drought, foot traffic, and other stressors.
- Enhanced appearance: A well-aerated lawn is typically more lush and green.
In general, it's a good idea to aerate your lawn every month with the Allett aerator cartridge.
NOTE: This cartridge will only penetrate up to 5mm deep and is not an aggressive aeration tool. It is only meant to slightly penetrate the surface to break up surface crust and works best on surfaces that are well maintained, thatch free, and cut below 20mm.
