Evaluating 'Aerify Plus' for Lawn Compaction: Why Surfactants Aren't a Substitute for Mechanical Aeration

Q: I'm about to aerate and overseed fescue but drainage is poor with compacted soil. I read about Aerify Plus, a spray-on product. Ever heard of it?

Despite its name, I don't think this product will help. Its active ingredient is sodium laureth sulfate, a surfactant. It might be useful in limited situations.

See Dr. Waltz's comments on surfactants.

The best way to improve drainage is to redirect the water source and till in organic material.
