How to aerate your lawn Aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil making your grass stronger and supporting drainage You want to go in 4 to 5 inches deep, plunge it in and then pull it back a little. Pull it out and repeat every 6 inches across the garden. You can leave the holes open or fill it with horticultural sand for drainage #gardening | The Michael Griffiths

Rapid Impact Compaction. Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) is a soil improvement technique used to treat loose granular soil soils and permit shallow spread footing construction. The RIC technique applies impact energy to the ground surface resulting in densification of loose granular soils to a depth of up to 15 feet. The impact energy is applied using a hydraulic (typically) ram with a drop weight (4-8 tons) falling on an impact plate in a designed pattern. Source: Hayward Baker Follow us! @engine
