I actually think that for seriously compacted, clay soil, one can do both core and liquid aeration. To me, they complement but don't overlap each other. For example, it would be nice to let the soil surrounding the holes created by core aeration to decompress into the holes. And on the other hand, it would amazing to let humic acid etc. from the liquid aeration and/or other product to additionally get into those holes as well. Arguably, adding a bit of sand into the holes to improve drainage would be useful. Either way, this is back breaking labor.

Absolutely agree!

Nice video from hometown!

Of course the fertilized side will be better looking. The true test is grab a 6-8” core from both sides and see what has deeper water penetration.

Not needed as if we understand the role of the potassium, we know it helps with root development and nutrient/water uptake that’s readily available in the soil. So without disturbing the soil, the clear difference is that by adding the liquid air8, we broke up the bonds in the soil causing any uptake of nutrients and water as opposed to just creating cores allowing for airflow and water penetration. Keep in mind this was not a “fertilizer” application that’s standard full of N.

I just moved into a 4 month old house, would you recommend a liquid or core aeration prior to leveling? Or is it too early for both of those tasks?

[@SunCityLawnCare]

Great question! If you working with a southern lawn, we aerate in the spring time and if it hasn’t been done yet go for it. Northern lawns get aerated in the fall along with an over-seeding process. The Greta thing about liquid aeration is you can do it anytime if the season and it adds potassium to strengthen the cell walls of the plant. Aeration and fertilizing can be conducted prior to leveling.

Would it be good to do both?

[@SunCityLawnCare]

Definitely an option.

How do you get rid of dog pee spots?

[@SunCityLawnCare]

They question we all want answered lol. Honestly there’s not a product on the market that gets rid of them. The only solution is watering the areas they do their business. I’ve got a client who’s a dog trainer and they’ve recommended those pet chewables for pee spots. Lowers the potency from my understanding.

We have centipede grass & have 2 dogs & no urine spots. We give them “Grass Saver” chewable tablets daily. They love them & so does our lawn. No more yellow spots. Can be purchased at pet stores or online. 🐾🦴🐕
