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 and 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.

< Back Aerworx goes arable! 🌾 Last month, on a farm in Hereford, the Aerworx aerator was put to the test on compacted clay stubble field. 🌾 Infiltration rate control ( under the hedge) was 28 seconds. PRE AERATION across the field in several spots, the infiltration rates were beyond 45 minutes ( we gave up). POST AERATION - the infiltration rates AFTER A SINGLE PASS were 3.5 minutes An incredible result after just one pass...if fields are aerated after harvesting, compaction is alleviated, improving the ability of arable land to capture and retain the autumnal/winter rainfall. 🌾 Building resilience into soil is vital to improve the productivity of your land whether it is grassland or arable.

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, 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 over 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?

< Back Feature on Lydney Park Farm - an AHDB Strategic Dairy Farm Network member Last week Aerworx visited Lydney Park Farm.... As recently featured in Farmers Weekly, Gavin Green and Keith Davis of Lydney Park Farm, Glos, certainly have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to grassland management. Speaking to Keith Davis, dairy manager, they routinely monitor DM yields across their milking platform of 300ha, ranking paddocks and creating a strategic plan to drive the productivity of their 850 Jersey crosses. They already had impressive above average yields of between 10-15 t/ha DM but knew that they could improve this further - optimising soil health was an important part of their strategic plan. " Grass can cope in winter when not grazed but when actively growing in spring, 3-4 days of standing water kills it" ( Keith Davis). Lydney Park recognised the impact that compaction was having across the farm and recently upgraded to the aerator of their choice.... t he Aerworx A336s . It is no surprise that this dynamic team is part of the AHDB Strategic Dairy Farm network and here at Aerworx, we are delighted that they have chosen us to be a part of their strategy.
