There’s nothing else like AerWay
Only patented AerWay Shattertines and Leaf Tines lift and fracture tough soil to increase air and water movement. As the AerWay moves over the surface, the unique angles of the AerWay Shattertines and Leaf Tines crack and shatter compacted soil
7"
and deeper to open new channels for air and water. Plants respond with stronger roots and better yields. Plus you'll see improved fertilizer utilization, reduced runoff, and greater soil moisture consistency.
Turf aeration so easy you can do it today without disrupting play.
AerWay goes to the heart of soil problems by relieving compaction
Soil Basics
 Three systems; physical, biological, and chemical, work together to make soil productive. Soil scientists agree that the physical condition of soil is the key to efficient biological and chemical activity, which in turn determines how much plant life the soil can
support.
Soil Tilth: Why Compaction is the
Turf Manager’s # 1 enemy
Soil tilth is the measurement of the balance between basic soil elements: mineral, air, water, and organic matter. The proper balance of these elements increases soil production by allowing efficient interaction of all the soil systems. Air and water balance in the soil is the key to good root growth.
 Compaction stresses plants because air and water are "squeezed" from the soil. Biological and chemical activities which depend on air and water become severely restricted. Root growth is impaired,
turf production suffers.
Compaction makes both wet and dry soil conditions more severe. It reduces the water holding capacity of the soil which makes drought conditions worse. As well, it inhibits drainage to make wet conditions more troublesome.
Air and water move together
 Correcting compaction makes a dramatic improvement in soil tilth. It is the most basic step you can take to improve
turf grass production. That’s because air and water move together in the soil profile. With proper air / water balance in the soil, all the biological and chemical systems work at peak efficiency.
