First, this kind of liquid aeration aids in the development of a deep and complex root system for established turf. Roots are natural aerators in soil systems. A strong root system increases the porosity of the soil system, allowing air and water to move along the root system more freely. Big picture, this also means that the turfgrass is better able to absorb and make use of water and nutrients, creating not only a healthier soil system, but a healthier lawn as well.

Second, potash and humic acid work together to basically reorganize the soil system at a chemical level. This liquid aeration breaks the bonds of mineralized nutrients and other soil structures, converting them into a chemical state more easily transported and taken up by those complex roots we just mentioned. As a result of the breaking of these bonds, microfissures are created in the soil structure, providing the micropores that are key to soil aeration and porosity. It also creates smaller soil particles, increasing the surface area of the soil system as a whole. A greater soil surface area means a higher cation exchange capacity, which means that nutrients, water, and microbes have more places in the soil to which they can attach, bond, and linger to aid in greater root absorption.

Soil compaction is caused by many natural weathering factors, and while nature does have its own methods of aerating, it often needs some help from a turf management professional along the way.
