| Question: | "I would like to aerify my fairways and roughs during the winter to take maximum advantage of winter rainfall to leach salts and sodium. My main concern is that the holes will not recover during the winter and I will be left with a big mess. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Consider a less disruptive form of cultivation such as slicing or solid-tine aeration during the winter. You will avoid most of the mess and still be able to break through surface crust for more effective leaching of soluble salts and sodium. Schedule routine core aeration in the spring and fall when the turf is actively growing for quick recovery of the aeration holes." |
