Air and food are the staple requirements of all living organisms. This is true of all organisms. Therefore, if you were maintaining a vineyard you'd need an aeration system for the roots as much as if you were planning to use the water from a lagoon while ensuring that the water was devoid of odor and could be safely used for your turf. Imagine what could happen to the lagoon if it were left by itself and allowed to stagnate. In the due course of time, unless you aerated the lagoon or both deweeded and added fresh water to the lagoon, the water would slowly convert to slush and algae blooms that would further choke all life out of the water. When you use an aeration system you infuse fresh life into the water especially if you were to pump the air right from the bottom of the lagoon. The water would also lose its odor and could then be safely used for agriculture or the turf.
Aeration systems are also indispensable on land whether in routine agriculture or in the maintenance of the turf. When such systems are used, the compacted earth is first of all broken down. Thereafter, furrows are dug into the soft soil. Finally, when fresh air and water is sprayed into the soil, the mix penetrates deep into the soil to reach the roots, thereby helping the growth of the plant organism while preventing runoffs on the surface. This also ensures the optimum utilization of both water and fertilizer and reduces the loss of ammonia due to volatilization. These aeration systems come equipped with different kind of tines that could be fine or superfine and shatter, solid, and deep or needle tine. At times triangular blades are also used in cases of heavy rainfall during spring or fall.
An aeration system needs to be acceptable to both small and large acreages. Modern aeration systems have adjustable roller settings permitting you to be selective in compaction relief, the kind of aeration desired as well as cultivation and the incorporation of residue. Different width options help in increasing the versatility of these machines.
