  • ABOUT | AerWorx

    Decades of experience in soil aeration, offering advice and lectures/ demos on the benefits of soil aeration. ABOUT The home of grassland aerators. AerWorx is the original large drum and blade aerator in the UK and has been selling these machines within Europe for nearly two decades. There is a pedigree and experience of grass aeration going back 40 years in the States, where the concept originated, but our considerable aeration experience gave us the knowledge to produce a product suitable for the European market and beyond. From modest beginnings, Aerworx is now in a position to fully manufacture the machines ourselves, sourcing all the components from the UK. We are based in Hampshire - we're proud to be British! We enjoy working with individual customers to ensure that our machines are suitable for their specific set up but also offer a bespoke service too. We also offer training in the correct use of the aerators for you and your team to ensure that you get maximum return from its use! We perform on site demos and lecture-demos for various organisations (such as waterboards, river and wildlife trusts) / farm cluster groups/ individuals all across the UK during the summer months. We can often be found at the larger agricultural shows throughout the calendar year. Please get in touch if you would like to book in a lecture / demo!

  • Grassland Aerators and Double Direct Seed Drills - Aerworx

    The AerWorx Grassland Aerator, of large drum + blade design, is designed to alleviate compaction up to 30cm, opening up soil structure & improving soil health. Addresses water logging, run off, soil erosion & releasing nutrients, oxygen and water for grass growth. Suitable for livestock & equestrian fields, turf ( polo / racing / eventing etc) , sports fields, golf courses, airfields, orchards, vineyards. Complementing the aerators, the Aerworx Double Direct Seed Drill is now part of our range. Aerworx Where Healthy Soils Begin.... ABOUT The Original UK Large Drum and Blade Aerator Why Aerate? Whether you are a livestock or arable farmer, AerWorx Aerators are an essential component in the regeneration of your soil, particularly if it is already compacted, as a lot of UK soils are. By alleviating compaction, you are building in soil resilience to the extreme weather events we are seeing: capturing as much rain as possible during the wetter months and retaining water for the periods of dry weather as a resource for continual plant growth, all whilst providing the optimal environment for soil biology to thrive. The importance of the interaction between soil structure - biology - chemistry of our soils is now widely recognised, and as this balance restores, the need for synthetic inputs reduces and the effects of these of extreme weather events becomes less. Other applications include equestrian paddock management; equestrian competition grass surfaces; airfields, golf courses, sports fields, estate grounds, vineyards, orchards and grass car park maintenance. .....or just about anywhere where there is compacted ground! By fracturing your subsoil up to 30cm you will improve soil health creating that essential porous environment resulting in: improved water penetration and retention, preventing run off and water logging, [ Infiltration rates increase by over 72% *] improved oxygenation of the soil to help soil biology ( microbes and worms), required for the break down of organic matter and releasing nutrients for plant growth improved root growth that doesn't have to struggle through a hard pan in dry, oxygen and nutrient deprived conditions. This ultimately results in: resilience against waterlogging, erosion, run off, drought, increased grass yields [ Dry matter yield increased x 24 for aerated grassland compared to non aerated grassland *] increased grazing periods reduction in fertiliser costs any supporting applications that are req uired are retained in your soil and not wasted in run off "Slot & Shatter" with Aerworx More about compaction * Click here for results of Trial 2024 Click here for more about aeration How?

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. With the Aerworx aerator we are encouraging root depth for dry conditions and soil structure improvement dissipates water during deluges.

  • How AerWorx Aerators Work | AerWorx

    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? "SLOT & SHATTER" By slotting 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. Martin Whittaker, Farmer 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. Anchor why aerwox Evidence Trials A year long grassland trial (Aug 25 - Aug 26) was conducted to see if the efficacy of 6 soil applicants was affected when applied on to soils that had had compaction alleviated by AerWorx. The trial has been extended to analyse drought recovery but click the tab below for preliminary findings. Click here for AerWorx Grassland Trial 25/26 results Visual Examples : Case study 1 Two permanent pastures cut the same day. the first picture is regrowth after 7 days as you would expect it. The second photo was cut the same time as the first. the difference being it was aerated the previous autumn with one of our machines. The grass is much further ahead of the non-aerated pasture. the roots are deeper and the DM/acre higher Case study 2 Grass treated with AerWorx prior to an equestrian event during the summer of 2026. The grass was AerWorx'd at the end of the drought, just before the rains arrived. It is clear to see the difference in the recovery between the grass untreated v AerWorx Credit: PJM AGRI LTD - E. England distributor Case Study 3 This photo is of a pasture that we divided in to two - we aerated half of it straight after first cut silage. There is a visible line 7 days after aeration which shows better growth of grass than non-aerated. Case Study 4 Picture A shows compacted soil: large angular block like aggregates a closed structure rather than open and porous limited water/ applicant penetration via horizontal lines reduction in oxygen entry a stressed crop whose roots can’t easily penetrate the “pan”. poorly bound structure and limited nutrient availability resulting in poor grass growth Picture B shows the same soil straight after aeration. The soil is less blocky, is loose and friable. Vertical fractures are now visible and any water, applicants and oxygen can travel around the roots. This fracture can only be achieved when the ground is hard or dry and with machines that are heavy enough to penetrate the hard soil at speed, the Aerworx aerator. Picture C was taken from the same pasture, approximately 3 weeks after aeration. The root structure has improved and fresh root growth is searching deeper.....

  • AerWorx features on Regen Documentary in Estonia! | AerWorx

    < Back AerWorx features on Regen Documentary in Estonia! 🇪🇪 REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE IN ENGLAND on Estonian TV! We recently had the privilege of taking part in an Estonian documentary (Osoon, ETV) showcasing regenerative agriculture in England. Filmed in Yorkshire, Don Catchment River Trust invited us to get in front of the cameras to demonstrate the benefits of the Aerworx aerator. They had already bought the Aerworx A336T through an EA fund earlier in the year, on behalf of the Dearne Valley Farmers. As Rachel Walker of DCRT explained, they had recognised that in order to improve the water quality in their rivers, that they needed to improve soil health of adjacent land. By alleviating compaction using the “slot and shatter“ effect of Aerworx, soil infiltration rates improved, slowing the flow and reducing run off in to the rivers. The cluster group, the Dearne Valley Farmers, headed up by Kate Fox, all now have access to the Aerworx, sharing the widespread benefits across the catchment. Thanks not only to DCRT, but to Richard Hampshire, 10th generation farmer for hosting us, in this spectacular setting and to Kristo & crew of ETV for guiding us through the filming! Very proud that Regen Ag practices in England were used as an example for the documentary and pleased to see other countries appreciating the importance of alleviating compaction as a corner stone to soil health.
