Aerification is not a bad word

Our fall aerification has begun with Newport going first. The turf is tired, beat up, worn and needs rejuvenating. I think one of the reasons our aerifications are successful is we try to preserve the turf during summer stress period. We do this by using solid rollers, slightly raising heights, rolling during hottest days and weekly Foliar feeding. We make monthly fungicide applications that are watered into our root zone which keeps the plants healthy. When we perform the aerification, the turf really responds and rebounds quickly. It looks like a mess for a little bit, but its going to be a great fall season.
