CAPPING
H 2O
Two permanent pastures cut the same day. The first picture is regrowth after 7 days as you
would expect it. The second photo was cut and photographed the same time as the first.
The difference being it was aerated the previous autumn with one of our machines.
1. The picture below shows compacted soil.
Horizontal compaction lines in the soil make it
hard for water, slurry and oxygen to penetrate
to the roots, starving them of vital nutrients,
resulting in poor grass growth.
The grass is a good week ahead of the non-aerated pasture. The roots are deeper and the
pasture has got away quicker.
2. The middle picture shows the same soil straight after aeration.
The soil has lost its shape, is loose and friable. Vertical fractures are now
visible and any water, slurry and oxygen can travel around the roots.
This fracture can only be achieved when the ground is hard or dry and
only our machines are heavy enough to penetrate the hard soil at speed.
3. The last picture (below) was taken from the same pasture, approximately 3 weeks after aeration.
The root structure has improved and fresh root growth is searching
deeper.
