aerating passes

[Neil M]

Curious as to how many passes for aerating. Is it ok to just go one pass and two passes for overseeding or should you always go two. Thanks

I also do at least two passes, one perpendicular to the other when aerating and over seeding.

It depends on the conditions. If it's already a lush green lawn & just aerating I only do one pass. If I'm overseeding as well I do two.

Depends on the lawn. If I'm overseeding after aeration I will do at least two passes.

Ohhh I get it, you guys must be using those tow behinds.
Now I finally understand straw... :confused:
And criss-cross aeration :laugh:

Wow, 6+ years it took to understand that.
But I have to admit, criss-cross aeration had me going for a bit, what a joke that was.


One pass for me, solid axle 5hp tine-propelled walk behind.
No straw, no criss-crossing, no more.
