How do Aeration and Gypsum work?  

Aeration and gypsum are both used to improve soil conditions, but they work in different ways. Aeration physically creates holes in the soil to improve drainage and root growth, while gypsum, a mineral, helps break down clay soils and reduce salt accumulation. Applying gypsum after aeration can enhance the benefits of both treatments.

Aeration:

Method: Involves creating holes in the soil, either by coring (removing plugs) or solid-tine methods.
Purpose: Primarily to relieve soil compaction, improve drainage, and allow for better air and water penetration to the roots.
Benefits: Enhanced root growth, reduced water runoff, and better nutrient absorption.

Gypsum:

Composition: A mineral (calcium sulfate) that can improve soil structure.
Purpose: Addresses clay soil compaction by displacing sodium ions and improving drainage. It also helps neutralize excess salts, such as those from pet urine.
Benefits: Can help break down clay, improve water infiltration, and potentially reduce salt buildup.

Relationship between Aeration and Gypsum:

Applying gypsum after aeration can be particularly effective. The aeration process creates openings for the gypsum to penetrate the soil and work more efficiently.

Gypsum can help improve the soil structure, making it easier for the grass to establish and absorb nutrients.
In essence, aeration physically creates space, while gypsum helps improve the soil's composition and drainage, making them complementary treatments for a healthier lawn, especially in areas with compacted or clay-rich soil.
