| Abstract/Contents: | States that aeration of greens and fairways "is necessary to maintain good drainage conditions" and that it ensures "an adequate amount of air in the top soil, so that the grass roots can breathe and grow." Details that "regularly aerated turf will readily allow the entry of water and the importance of this is apparent in summer months, when, during a period of hot dry weather, it is essential that the up take of water by the roots is greater than the loss of water from the grass leaves by transpiration or evaporation." Explains that surface sealing can occur in wet autumn and winter months if aeration is not carried out. Describes the machines and their "interchangeable alternative types of tines" that were invented to assist the golf course superintendent with aeration. |
