I was lead to believe that doing a plug aerate now during the

summer was a
bad thing. I did alot of reading on the web etc, and most

recommended
waiting until the fall. If I do it now, would I run into problems

??

I can't think of any reason it would cause problems. I have done it

in both
the spring and the fall. We are only a couple weeks into summer.

I'm
curious, what did your research give as reasons not to core aerate

now?

I guess that is due to plug aerate will break quite some grass root
and rhizome. It's good to do anything that will cause physical
damage(pruning, dividing...) to plant during the dormant period(late
fall to early spring).
