The process of this is simple: firstly choose either a manual or a powered aerator. Manual options include rollers with spikes on, and you can even get a contraption that attaches to your shoes and “spikes” the lawn as you walk. This is a good option as you can kill two birds with one stone by wearing them when you are mowing the lawn.
Alternatively, you can hire a powered aerator that can do hollow-tine aeration. Hollow-tine aeration is a process that removes small cores from the soil, opening some space in the soil for oxygen to get down below the surface.
Unfortunately, the weather in Britain is very temperamental: one minute it’s a heatwave, the next it’s heavy downpours and thunderstorms.
While you can’t always predict the weather, the weather forecast does give you a good indication of what’s to come. Regular lawn maintenance is your best option for preventing a waterlogged lawn, but these simple steps will give you that extra helping hand you need.
