Aeration tools are gardening implements designed to improve soil health by creating small holes in the ground. This process allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the soil, promoting better root growth for plants. Common types of aeration tools include aerator shoes, core aerators, and spike aerators. Using aeration tools is especially beneficial for compacted soils, which can hinder plant development. Regular aeration helps maintain a healthy lawn and garden by reducing thatch buildup and enhancing drainage. Proper aeration can lead to a more vibrant and resilient landscape, supporting the overall ecosystem.
