Planet Air & Double Verti-cutting

The greens were due for some relief as we rented/borrowed a planet air attachment from a neighbor golf course.









I had never seen a planted air, but really liked the results. This machine has the same sort of purpose as needle tines on an aerification unit. It makes slits in the soil instead of small holes with its rotating blades.


















The blades remind me of many butter knives puncturing the soil allowing water and air to enter the soil profile.


















Not only did we use the planet air for profile relief, but we double verticut our greens as well. This removed a lot of excess grass and potential thatch buildup.
