Letting Them Breathe

Monday, we had the opportunity to take advantage of these unseasonably warm temperatures by needle tining our greens. Needle tining is another form of aerating greens, but without the major disruption aerating usually brings. Normally, we would pull a core and fill that empty space with sand. Needle tining instead, doesn't pull a core and only makes a hole small enough to help with the air exchange of the roots in the soil. It also helps with water movement into the soil profile and will relieve soil compaction, and allowing our roots to grow.
