How do you soften hard soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to soften your grass and prepare it for planting grass seed is aeration. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-aeration-key-healthy-green-lawn.htm">Aerating your lawn</a> will loosen up compacted soil and facilitate a more even balance of nutrients from root to topsoil. We recommend using core aeration methods for the most effective soil-loosening results.</p></div>

Can you core aerate too much?

• <div><p>Short answer: yes. Although aeration is beneficial for most lawns and soil types, if it’s done too frequently, you can weaken the grass’s roots so much that they’ll begin to have trouble. Generally, most lawns can be aerated as infrequently as once every one to three years, although those with more foot traffic and compaction may benefit from aeration up to twice yearly.</p></div>

Q: How do you make yard waste decompose faster?

• <div><p>There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.</p></div>

Q: Is it really necessary to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>If you have a healthy lawn, it&rsquo;s not necessary to aerate it. However, lawn aeration comes with many benefits that can improve lawn health and help you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-save-money-lawn-care.htm">save money on lawn care</a>. </p><p>Aeration makes it easier for lawns to absorb water and key nutrients. It also encourages a strong root system and discourages weed growth. So do your lawn a favor: Make it as holey as Swiss cheese, and let it breathe. If you have more questions regarding aeration, you can contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/landscaping/">landscaping company near you</a>. </p></div>

Q: Is lawn aeration worth the money?

• <div><p>Strange as it may seem, poking holes in your lawn can do a great deal to help the grass grow back stronger, thicker, and happier. By allowing light, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil, the grass can root down deeper and get more of what it needs to thrive. All of which is to say, if you care about the appearance of your lawn, yes, lawn aeration is usually worth the money&mdash;especially since it&rsquo;s not that expensive.</p></div>
