I poke a tooth pick in my soil to losen it up,and add air. Kind of how people do their lawn with the machines. I haven't read anything about this has anyone tried it? Does it help?
... no. maybe a 10 inch toothpick... grass roots dont go more than a few inches below soil, and we also dont grow grass in 20 dollar a bag potting soil specifically designed to maintain airration. think about it.
