| Question: | "I am hearing the term vertical aeration used more and more. What does this mean? Is this different from standard core aeration?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | West Virginia |

| Answer/Response: | "This term refers to the use of deep vertical slicing tactics to aggressively remove thatch and organic debris. It is a form of vertical mowing that is often used in combination with standard core aeration techniques. Channels can be cut into the soil profile to a depth of 2.5 inches. Research has demonstrated that this is not a stand-alone treatment strategy. Although a great deal of organic material can be harvested, it is extremely difficult to work topdressing back into the channels created by the machines." |
