How Liquid Lawn Aeration Works

Core aeration and liquid aeration are two different methods of improving soil and lawn health. Here are the key differences between the two:

1. Mechanism:

• Core Aeration: Core aeration is a mechanical process that involves the use of specialized equipment, typically an aerator with hollow tines. This machine removes small plugs or cores of soil from the lawn, creating openings in the ground.
• Liquid Aeration: Liquid aeration, also known as liquid soil aeration, is a chemical or biological process that uses liquid solutions to improve soil structure and root development. It doesn't involve mechanical removal of soil.

2. Soil Disruption:

• Core Aeration: This method physically disrupts the soil by removing soil cores from the ground. These holes allow for improved air and water penetration and create spaces for roots to grow.
• Liquid Aeration: Liquid aeration doesn't disrupt the soil physically. It works by introducing substances that promote soil structure and root growth.

3. Equipment:

• Core Aeration: Requires specialized equipment like a core aerator machine with hollow tines.
• Liquid Aeration: Involves the application of liquid products, which can be done using a regular garden sprayer or similar equipment.
