| Abstract/Contents: | The HydroJet uses short bursts of high pressure jets of water which penetrate, and in turn lift and loosen the soil. In a six year study conducted at Michigan State University, the conclusions formed were that the HydroJet can loosen soil, reduce bulk density, create more large pores, raise infiltration rates, lower soil strengths, and create some increase in rooting compared to untreated control plots. When compared to hollow tine aerification, there was no increase in total rooting recorded. |
