Maintenance of sports grounds, pitches, golf courses car parks and airstrips Aerworx in other industries Do you have the challenge of managing grounds for sports, car parks, airstrips? How many times do we say "the ground conditions are bad this year" and we simply accept it and deal with the consequences or find work arounds, including cancelling matches? Something can be done to make your grounds more resilient to the ever challenging weather patterns. The wet winter/spring months often leave us with waterlogged poached grounds that then bake and leave uneven hard ruts in the summer months. Grass sits under water for significant periods of time and grass cover can become affected making way for bare patches and weed invasion. Q: Why? A: Soil Compaction! What is soil compaction? Compaction occurs when the soil structure becomes compressed. The soil particles become consolidated in to what is known as large aggregates or blocks, squeezing out the oxygen and water, needed for grass growth and the function of important microorganisms that work to help grass grow. When it rains, the water can't "percolate" through the soil ( a bit like a coffee filter) but instead sits on the surface and either causes waterlogging. The grass roots are then deprived of water because the soil can't retain what it doesn't have access to. The roots also struggle to penetrate in to the compressed soil or "pan". Why do we get soil compaction? Years of footfall, vehicles driving over the land ; grounds that are worked in wet conditions e.g. harrowing, rolling, topping are the main causes of compaction.These activities compress the soil particles and affect its porosity.. BACK TO AERATION Rugby & Football Pitches Cricket Grounds Golf Courses Car Parks Sports Grounds Why should I worry about compaction on sports grounds? The rain and oxygen can't reach the soil through the hard compacted "pan" leading to poor soil health.The consequences are then far reaching: prolonged waterlogging that kills off the grass and results in cancelled matches and the public opinion that follows! poor grass growth, distribution and quality means grounds are less resilient to wear - prolonged recovery times for the grounds are seen especially during the busy sporting season poor grass growth results in uneven cover making your bare ground vulnerable to erosion from wind and rain and invasion of more resilient weeds, making it even harder to maintain. An irregular ground surface - the wet winter ground becomes poached, causes more compaction and then bakes in the summer resulting in hard uneven rutted ground predisposing to player sprains and strains and irregular in play ball projectiles increased maintenance costs with re seeding/ fertilising/ staff costs/ fuel... more compaction is created addressing these avoidable long term problems with vehicles on the grounds. Why should I aerate a grass car park? Car parks are one of the most obvious examples of extreme compaction as a result of excessive vehicle passing. Aeration will: prevent waterlogging and keep "in use" days to a maximum speed up car park surface recovery time reduce muddy wet grounds causing vehicles to get stuck and the associated logistics and costs. reduce the need for steel road plates and associated costs prevent erosion from wind and rain if grass cover is good prevent long term poor soil health and grass growth reduce the need for rolling and fertilising. A well drained surface won't poach or rut. Grass Airstrips Why should I aerate my airstrip? encourage even grass growth for an even more predictable landing surface encourage good grass cover to reduce erosion from landings in the long term. build in long term resilience to heavy rain and wind to prevent erosion build in long term resilience to dry summers to allow the soil to capture and retain rain and continue to support grass growth prevent dangerous waterlogging reduce the number of days that the airstrip has to be closed in wet conditions. reduce the need for re seeding, fertilising and associated costs reduce the need for expensive drainage systems prevent further compaction! Airstrips Aerating an airstrip when the ground is hard Anchor Aerworx Equestrian We offer a large range of different models and sizes to suit YOUR needs, with optional additional extras and the flexibility to work together to design a bespoke machine too. So how can I rid of soil compaction? AERATION! Aeration of soil can improve the porous nature of soil so that water is captured and drained away, optimising soil health for grass growth and avoids those detrimental surface conditions. How does aeration work? Traditionally lightweight spiked aerators were used to make holes or small slits in the surface of the soil but this often isn't enough to break up the hard pan that sits around 7cm and below! The AERWORX AERATOR is carefully designed to create deep slots in the topsoil, shatter the deeper soil underneath but, importantly, without disturbance of the surface. The key is to aerate when the conditions are dry so that we don't create more compaction taking the vehicle and machine across wet ground. Click for how Aerworx aerators work Q:Can I still aerate if I don't have a tractor? A: YES! Our Compact range (1m or 1.5m x 20" drum) is designed for anyone who may be limited (access/ hp availability etc) to using lower horsepower mini tractors/ RTVs/ quads/ 4x4s. If you do have access to a tractor we have a large range available to suit your needs. View the Aerworx Range

How Aerworx Aerators work to improve your soil's water capture & retention and ultimately productivity. How AerWorx Aerators Work LIGHTWEIGHT MACHINES WON'T PENETRATE OR HAVE THE WEIGHT FOR THE ENERGY NEEDED! **THE AERWORX AERATOR IS DESIGNED TO MEET THIS GOAL** How does the Aerworx Aerator work? By slotting the surface and shattering the compacted subsoil at speed with an aerator of appropriate weight and design, soil friability and permeability will be improved. The kinetic energy resulting from the weight and speed of the bladed aerator on a single pass will cause this shattering effect whilst the penetrating slits allow the ingress of water without exposing the soil. Weight + speed = kinetic energy = NO TILL SHATTER Aerating through the summer months and into the autumn when the soil is dry will fracture and break up the compaction leaving air pockets within the soil. These air pockets will hold oxygen allowing micro-organisms and worms to thrive. The more air pockets you can create the more sponge-like the soil becomes, allowing better water retention, deeper, stronger root development, and ultimately stronger and more productive. In the winter months these air pockets will allow the frosts to go deeper and create natural movement within the soil. In contrast these air pockets will warm up quicker in the spring giving you faster growth. In addition to the soil benefits of the no-till application, hay fields can still be worked while leaving them smooth; livestock can remain in worked fields; grass roots remain down – not exposed to sunlight; In the past… Grassland aeration has traditionally been done using conventional lightweight aerators in the spring when the soil is still wet to allow the machines to penetrate. Work rates are slow and the heaviest pieces of concrete or metal from the farmyard are used to ballast the frames of the machines. We promote the heavier and faster you use the machine, the drier and harder the soil, the better the job you will do. How to get the best from your Aerworx To understand the concept of the Aerworx aerator, it’s important that we understand the fundamentals of soil structure. What is soil structure? Soil particles are cemented by humus, glues made by bacteria and fungi, decomposing organic matter and long chain sugars excreted from roots. Interwoven are fungal hyphae and fine roots that stabilise the "aggregate" like a fine mesh. In between are the large pore spaces important for aeration, permeability and retention. Compaction occurs when the forces of e.g. farm traffic, animals, humans are greater than those forces cementing the aggregate together. So when we need to address compaction, it's easy to understand why a no till approach is needed to preserve the vital underground infrastructure and preserve carbon stores. We need to care for our soils with minimal disturbance in order to preserve some of its most valuable qualities. It is a living asset! WHY AERWORX? The build quality of the machines is inherited from the States where the machines are used to clear scrub land, woodland fire breaks and aerate some of the toughest farmland in areas such as Texas and North Dakota. They are used by some of the toughest cowboys - down-time is not an option when hundreds of miles away on a ranch. Strength without disturbance - our blades Manufactured to exceptional standards with blades, unique to Aerworx, excelling in their durability and strength, offering a good return on investment. The blades are manufactured by one of Europe’s leading companies of "wearing parts" here in the UK. The design and strength of the blades have been widely acknowledged for their long lasting durability - so much so that the manufacturer’s exclusive supply to Aerworx extends to its American counterpart, who import all their blades for all of their aerators from the UK. Arranged in a spiral/chevron pattern around the drum and facing the direction of travel, the blades’ angle of entry and exit has been carefully calculated to avoid surface disturbance. The heavy drum ensures any stones are pressed below the surface, avoiding the need for a further pass from a flat-roller. 30cm Low Maintenance Made from a specific steel, the blades are capable of working in all conditions from heavy clays to rocky brash. even then, they have an exceptionally long life expectancy and, thanks to their angle of entry and exit, are self sharpening. The Aerworx aerator can be used in all soil types – from sandy to heavy clay to rocky – from flawless hayfields to rugged terrains. It enables producers to get the most of the soil that they have Given the durability of the product, it is no surprise that with the UK sales of 100s of machines, over nearly two decades, we have only had to make small repairs to blades on a handful of machines. By one farmer’s admission, this is usually the result of error or extreme use! Full Impact The hard wearing blades aerate the topsoil to a depth of 175mm (7in). The percussive effect of the blades has an even deeper impact, fracturing the subsoil down to depths of 300mm (12in) This means aeration should be done when the ground is hard and dry, to ensure a deep shattering effect, not when the soil is soft or wet, which can often result in smearing and inadvertent damage. Solid axles running through the entire drum reduces shock and vibration to the rest of the machine and the driver. Drum bracing to the end plates stops any flexing and in turn stops the drums breaking up around the axles. These machines are aerators built for the toughest conditions at the highest of speeds ... not rollers with blades welded to them! High work rates Running at speeds of between 10-16kph (6-10mph), a 3m version will cover over 3ha/hour (8acres/hour). In fact, the faster you run the machines the better the fracture of the soil. Striking dry or hard ground quickly will give a better release of kinetic energy within the soil and result in a bigger fracture. High weight per metre Ranging in weight from 1150kg to 5000kg, AerWorx aerators offer by far the greatest weight per metre of any machine on the market. By water ballasting the main drum, all the weight is self-contained and directly above the blades, blade penetration is maximised in all conditions, from hard- baked clays to the stoniest of soils. This means aeration can be done at the optimum time to ensure a deep shattering effect, not when the soil is soft or wet which can often result in smearing.

Blenheim Palace “We chose the Aerworx aerator to de compact and stimulate grass to grow on permanent pasture parklands within the World Heritage site without damaging the surface. We not only use it on grassland before and after events but also on fields across the estate which suffer from years of compaction and poor root structure. Its simplicity, the ability to alter the weight of the machine to suit soil conditions and high work rates make it an extremely flexible and effective tool.” Roy Cox – Rural Enterprises Manager The Garlic Farm "Good design. Good service. Good price. Usually you never get more than two of these attributes for a product, but with Aerworx you get all three. The aerator has an immediate effect on infiltration around the entry points and over time we are seeing massive improvements to pasture health by using this alongside mob-grazing." Barnaby Edwards, Director Blaber Enterprises Blaber Enterprises are specialist small bale producers in Hampshire for the Equine industry. “I’m just of the opinion that our weather patterns are going to remain unpredictable, so we have wanted a machine that could limit that unpredictability.

Working in synergy with the Aerworx machines, our new product range, AerWorx-Bio supports the restoration of soil health by restoring the soil with naturally occuring soil microbes. Different forms (dry, soluble and seaweed coated) are available, increasing plant available Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorous. Reducing the need for synthetics without compromising yield potential. AerWorx- Bio Anchor 1 Bringing the power of microbes to your soil © Copyright Alleviating compaction, whether grassland or arable, in order to restore soil health not only enables the physical entry of air and water, it provides the optimal environment for the soil microbes - essential for plant health and soil structure. Who knew that something so tiny, could be so vital? When we are faced with anaerobic compacted lifeless soil, we need to kick start its recovery in a sensitive but productive way: Alleviate compaction, using a no till approach with minimal surface disturbance to make the soil more porous. Using the Slot & Shatter Effect of Aerworx aerators the soil is fractured and opened up down to 30 cm when used in the correct conditions. Little soil is exposed so soil carbon is retained and the soil food web minimally disturbed. Make management changes such as maximising the efficiency of each vehicle pass; adopting grazing patterns that facilitate root health; use of deep root tapping plants in sward/ cover crop mixes. Innoculate the soil with microbes that are naturally found in our soils, to aid the transition back to full soil health until microbes can then flourish and multiply. So how does AerWorx-Bio work? AerWorx-Bio is a next-gen biological product containing a unique and synergistic set of microbial species that occur naturally in healthy soils. The “ trade agreement” between plant and microbes is the synergistic relationship whereby roots supply energy to the micro-organisms in the form of root exudates and the bacteria efficiently provide accessible nutrients for the plant. This process has evolved over millions of years! The beneficial microbes: Solubilise Phosphate reserves in the soil . Most soils have plenty of phosphate but it is unavailable to the plant unless certain microbes are present. e.g. enzymes produced by the microorganisms break P bonds between Al, Ca, and Fe, resulting in a plant accessible form of P. Increase Nitrogen fixation in the rhizosphere . Improves Potassium availability Cutting synthetic fertiliser use with AerWorx-Bio : reduces costs avoids fertiliser availability issues reduces future fertiliser carbon tax sustains yield potential builds in environmental sustainability with a natural organic product restores, not kills, soil biology Why AerWorx-Bio? Designed for ease of use on farm Safe Proven Consistent Results Multiple bacterial species to ensure resilience and performance regardless of soil type Shelf-stable for two years in all formulations Requires no refrigeration, on-site fermentation or mixing Highly compatible with fertilisers, pesticides and other biostimulants Apply via hopper or with dry/liquid fertilizers.

The six reasons why aeration and alleviating compaction is important for your soil and your regenerative journey to living soil. Why You Should Aerate The Importance of the No Till Approach Conventional cultivation can have devastating effects on soil. With traditional cultivation techniques, soil is often ploughed several times to create a fine seed bed and control weeds. This will expose soil particles, causing evaporative losses, erosion from wind and rain, destroy humus and result in severe breakdown of soil structure and the vital interactions of the soil biology. Over time repeated passes eventually create compaction of the soil – the opposite of our end goal! Minimal Surface Disturbance Without exposing the soil and destroying some if its existing valuable properties, shattering the subsoil down to at least 30cm, will improve some important features of soil health: Soil Structure Reduce aggregate size, ideally creating a “soil crumb” Increase the porous nature for water, oxygen, application penetration and retention Increase root penetration and distribution which in turn contributes to improved aggregate size Soil Biology The “oil of the engine”, earthworms and micro-organisims can thrive in aerated friable soil, perform their aerobic processes, supply nutrients for efficient plant growth and help to bind soil crumb. They also play an important part in protecting the roots. Soil Chemistr y Once soil biology is functioning, soil chemistry should improve. Soil pH and minerals are often monitored - any applications that are required to address any imbalances can penetrate and be retained minimising wasteful run off. Increased soil temperatures for grass growth occur and nutrients become available for roots to thrive. We need to care for our soils with minimal disturbance in order to preserve some of its most valuable qualities. It is a living asset! BACK TO AERATION What results can aeration achieve on your farm? Maximised current & future yields Reduce run off, erosion, poaching & water logging When water hits pasture it will either run in or run off and when it runs off it takes part of the soil with it. Aeration allows more of the water to run in. Reduce costs of e.g fertiliser Reduce waste of any applicants applied - aeration enhances the use of applications on pastures. Many use e.g. biostimulants / manure from poultry houses as fertiliser for their pasture. When combined with aeration, applicant use is more efficient and can become an even more important element of forage/ crop production. Increased grazing periods - earlier turn out and extended grazing in to the autumn Increased stocking rates supported by better grass growth Improved livestock performance with less veterinary issues Aeration enhances the outcomes of no-till planting . As more farmers adapt the practice of no-till planting, many are discovering that aeration prior to planting yields better results. Contributing to your compliance with agricultural standards Investing in your journey to regenerate the future health of your soil How Aerworx aerators work

Why challenging weather patterns means combating compaction and aerating is more important than ever. What is Compaction? BACK TO AERATION The legacy of traditional farming methods Over the years we have expected soil to keep performing using traditional methods that merely “maintain and sustain”. These traditional methods often expose soil to erosion, cause evaporative losses, destroy humus releasing sequestered carbon and break down the soil structure and biology that has taken precious time to form. It is now thought that as much carbon is probably released by the same traditional processes that are trying to add carbon to the soil e.g. ploughing in manure. The repeated passes by heavy tractors and equipment lead to soil degeneration and to the formation of almost impenetrable layers of compact soil (“hard pan”) below the surface. Livestock grazing, combined with machinery, contributes to “hard pan” formation otherwise known as soil compaction... Soil is a living asset With the current pressures of fertiliser use, environmental concerns, water quality, general cost increases, and the consequences of challenging climate changes, the need to produce your final product as efficiently as possible whilst future proofing your soil has never been so important. The use of fertiliser and chemicals have historically been a large part of production in an attempt to compensate for poor soil health and poor production. Times are changing with a move towards the use of less synthetic applications and restoration of soil to it's living state - but if the soil isn’t in the correct conditions to absorb and retain any (natural) applicants, it’s irrelevant what you use or how accurately you spread them. You could spread agro chemicals or biostimulants accurately to the nearest gram/ha, but if the soil isn’t in the condition to make best use of it, run off or surface only penetration will result in a loss of productivity and money. Importantly. the same is true for water. Good efficient farming starts with the one thing we use to grow all our crops ... the soil! We need to think of the soil as a living asset that needs water, oxygen, biological organisms and warmth. Water infiltration restricted by compaction What is compaction? Compaction of the soil results in soil particle compression resulting in: large angular block like aggregates a closed structure rather than open and porous like a sponge limited water penetration reduction in oxygen entry a stressed crop whose roots can’t easily penetrate the “pan”. Organisms vital for soil health no longer reside causing a reduction in organic matter, poorly bound soil structure and limited nutrient availability. What does compaction result in? Significant run off - inability to capture and retain water Loss of topsoil and erosion Water logging and poaching with the associated livestock veterinary issues Reduced plant growth and DM yields Poor carbon capture High fertiliser/applicant costs that don’t always bring rewarding returns Reduced number of grazing days Struggles to address key policy drivers made by the government rewarding farmers for soil health, water quality and improved carbon footprints. It is not uncommon for a UK farm to be farming only the top 2" of soil ! With clear changes in our climate and the challenge that that presents for our soil, we need to consider soil health and tactical, cost effective approaches more than ever. AERATION IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THAT REGENERATIVE PLAN How to assess soil compaction WHY AERATE?
