Question: | "At the end of each season we intensively aerate the table using a slitter capable of penetrating to a depth of four inches. On taking cores from the table it is clear that severe compaction below this depth has developed and is now causing drainage problems. We understand that Verti-Draining is a means of relieving deep compaction and wonder if we could benefit from the technique." |
Answer/Response: | "If deep-seated compaction is the cause of your drainage problems then the use of the Verti-Drain may be the solution, provided there is a free-draining substrate beneath the layer of compacted soil. It is important that Verti-Draining is carried out at the end of the playing season, as surface disturbance is possible which could produce a poor playing surface with pre-season treatment. Differential settlement is possible after Verti-Draining, so the longer the ground is left to settle after the operation, and before any rolling work is carried out, the better." |
