We finished up the drill and fill and aeration this week.
The drill and fill – drills that bore 12” down into the soil, and filling the
bore holes with sand – improves drainage. The aeration takes care of compaction
and thatch. Both help us to amend the soil
profiles. We did it together so that the greens would not be disrupted two
separate times, and we waited until late spring to do the
processes so that with warmer temperatures, the healing will be faster!
