Fall Aeration

Yesterday the grass courts were "deep tine aerated" The machine inserts a 3/4" diameter solid tine, 10 inches deep. The machine also kicks the tine behind it so the the machine is producing a hole and fracturing the soil beneath. This produces space for deeper roots and better drainage.
