Abstract/Contents:Shattercore aerification is a relatively new method of turf aerification using solid tines to break up compacted soil as opposed to hollow tines which remove plugs of soil from compacted turf areas. Little research has been completed on this method, but Larry Gilhuly, the Assistant Superintendent at Seattle Golf Club, describes the effects of its use there after nine months. They have seen positive results in improved drainage and seed establishment in areas where they have used solid tine aerification. This method is much faster and requires less labor than does hollow tine aerification. Disruption of the surface soil prevents its use on golf greens, but a good aerification program may include both methods of aerification in appropriate areas of the course.
