Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Thinking of Aeration, Couple Questions..

Hi Brian,

Rainman gave great advice on the buffer strip and it looks like you have a decent grass buffer in that drainage. You can enhance the buffer strip a couple of ways. First, allow the grass to grow longer in the months when you get the drainage. Second, you can use a plug aerator (the ones for your lawn that create the little soil nuggets) to improve water infiltration in the soil and allow some sediments to settle out in the holes. These two practices will allow the lawn to capture and use more of the fertilizers therefore reducing the amount that makes it into your pond. Good luck to you.
