Topdressing.biz News: What is all that fuss about Soil Compactation? Part l

Some of the things you need to observe when using the Natural Lawn Care Procedure called topdressing:
- Traffic; frequency and intensity of use
- Weather conditions
- Season
- Normal Use causes for soil particles to be compacted together, reducing pore space and increasing soil density, especially in Clay soils.
These mechanical and environmental actions can drastically decrease air, water and nutrient intake of the soil. This in turn causes turf roots to struggle to fill their basic needs. As a result, turf quality declines and sports fields provide less cushioning for players which results in increased exposure to sports injuries.
Turf shows less stress tolerance and increased susceptibility to weed, disease and insect problems. Aeration and topdressing are good bets to combat compactation.
