Hello all,
I've been in my new house for about two years. It is a typical

builders
lot
with hard pack soil. When it rains, and/or I run the sprinkler

system,
most
of the water just seems to run off. I am going to plug aerate in

the
fall,
but I was hoping to do something now. Perhaps spike aerate. I

need
to
get
the water down the to roots of the grass.


Why not plug aerate now?



What *is* plug aeration?


plug aeration = core aeration


Inserting something as the hole is made? In my fantasy, it's a plug of peat
moss, but that's probably silly.
