They were all struggling through the hot summer. What to do? Aerification is the most important turf maintenance practice. It helps loosen compacted soils so air and water can get to your root zone.  It is part of a good overall turf management program. Aerification tips and hints: 1. locate and/or mark your sprinklers, 2. run an aerator in an X pattern, 3. don't remove the core plugs, 4. be careful in the heat, and 5. aerate spring, summer, and fall.
