YOUR LAWN & TRAFFIC |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overview |
|
|
|
Traffic is one of the biggest contributing factors to the compaction of soil and
the resulting poor growth of all turf types. |
|
|
|
Compaction of soil causes: |
|
|
- Poor water penetration into the soil profile, Thus, less water is available for
the grass plants
- Poor aeration of the soil profile - roots need oxygen to grow
- Depletion in the wanted micro-organisms in the soil - these organisms release
nutrients needed for uptake by the plant for the growth process
- Poor root development and the plant is weakened
|
|
Traffic |
|
Where traffic is excessive, the pressure can be reduced by: |
|
|
- Setting paving stones, or
- Sleepers into the grass, and
- Just mowing over the top
