Aerway


This is one of my favorite pieces of equipment. It is an aerway, which puts slits in the ground and opens up pore space in the soil. It allows water and oxygen to enter the soil profile and access to the root zone to promote healthy turf. It causes very little impact to playability, especially when a mower follows it's path. You will notice the bricks on top of the spikes, which weighs down the machine for optimal depth.
September is a busy month for maintenance. It is critical that the course is healthy prior to the stress of the long winter.
