Soils under adver ditions may bee pacted, that is, the soil los its structure. The little pockets of air beh the surface are squeezed together. Water and nutrients no longer move through the soil. It bees more difficult for roots to grow.
Ideally, when we cultivate the soil, additional soil ames should be added and incorporated into the cultivated soil. This will help keep the soil healthy and loo and less likely to bee pacted as quickly if no additional ames are added.
When the soil underh your lawn bees pacted, it reduces root growth as well as the grass’ recuperative ability, thus increasing a lawn’s relative susceptibility to dias.
Aeration improves shoot and root growth and recuperative ability, and decrea the likelihood of dia and inct damage.
Thatch is a partially depod layer prid of roots, stems, rhizomes, s, and stolons situated above the soil surface. Up to a 1-1br2 “layer of thatch is beneficial and provides insulation to roots, reduces soil water evaporation, cushions playing surfaces, and may prevent soil pa. However, thatch layers greater than 1br2” should be removed to avoid restricted water entry into the root zone, resulting in drought stress.
