| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles traffic compaction problems, explaining that "Ballochmyle golf course in Ayreshire, just south of Glasgow [Scotland], suffered from severe compaction on approaches to selective heavy areas, and also on the 6th, 8th and 13th greens." Explains that "Terrain Aeration's Steve Oates spent two days working with Airforce Scamper, inserting the probe one metre [meter] down and injecting compressed air into the compacted ground at two metre spacings on a staggered grid pattern." Reports that "there's been a very obvious improvement, not just with drainage but the health and vigour of the plant following the increased air, nutrient and water flow." |
