Can I use this as an aerator for my lawn (zoysia grass)

I wouldn't. The L-shaped blades are not shaped for aeration but for cutting and soil scooping instead.

I am not familiar with zoysia grass. The cultivator has various settings so perhaps if you set it at the highest setting, it shouldn't disturb the grass as much. Also, you could use only 2 out of the 4 tines which would create less digging on the lawn. Good luck!

Sorry, I can't be of much help to you about using the tiller as an aerator. I have never tried it. But it seems that I have heard of people running a tiller loosely over their yard in preparation for some light reseeding. Good Luck.

I really do not think it will work for you. I use mine solely for my already prepped garden an for my already prepped areas around my shrubs and flowers. It is a light duty unit and will not break up grass unless it is very wet and almost muddy. Who want to till mud?!

Probably not - this is a high-end professional spray and designed to kill brush, but would probably easily erase your grassy weeds and your zoysia!

I suppose you could, but you would need to put some dirt on it first. That negates the purpose of the weed barrier (to stop things from growing) because anything could grow with the grass on top then.

The quick answer is no, but the best answer is to mix about 1/2 to 1 cup (varies with amount of weeds) with about 2 gallons of water then add a 'wetting' agent like (believe it or not) 1 1/2 ounces (about 1 shot) of joy liquid soap. That will break the surface tension of the water and spread the diuron over a larger area before allowing it to drop to the bottom. This will vastly increase the coverage area and improve the overall job while using less material. If the intent is to totally clear out the pond, then throw a half pound in dry and it will mix. As I have mentioned to others, brace yourself for an algae bloom from the dying weeds. It will need to be treated as well when it comes.

Aerify Plus can be applied anytime during the growing season. However, it is best to water it in throughly (1/2-1 inch of water) soon after applying it. That could be by sprinkler or before/during a rain. This allows the product to penetrate the soil and go to work immediately. But, it will not hurt the lawn if it doesn't get watered in either. I hope that answer your question. Thank You!

This isn't really hydroton but yes you can mix it with soil to aid in aeration. I've done this before on plants of all kinds with great success. Just be sure to water slightly more often because the soil will dry out faster due to added aeration. I suggest a ratio of .25:1 to 1:1 (pellets:soil). You can also put them on top of the soil to act as a mulch (works great with tomatoes) and at the bottom of the pot for added drainage.

Yes it would be fine. It has a 4" center to center mounting. It has a swing spout with a garden hose fitting. If you want an aerator end make sure you order the correct one.

I use the core aerator to overseed in the fall. It pulls plugs out. The seeds then get spread over the yard falling into the 2 inch to 3 inch deep holes. When it rains and the plugs get soaking wet and fill the holes again over the seeds, they will then eventually dry out to form a topcoat over the seeds .whalah the magic happens and the grass seeds will grow, I do not use a spike aerator nor does a spike aerator makes sense to me other than perhaps as a kind of de-thatching tool.

In NY, you probably have a type of cool season grass. So, you should NOT use Weed-Impede on your lawn. From the Weed-Impede label: * * * * * SPECIAL USE PRECAUTIONS To avoid possible injury, DO NOT apply WEED IMPEDE to: * Cool season turfgrass species (bluegrass, fescues, bentgrasses, etc.). * Newly sprigged or sodded areas of bermudagrass, St. Augustinegrass, centipedegrass, or zoysiagrass until these turfgrasses are well-established and have well-anchored root systems. * Newly hydromulched areas of bermudagrass until such areas are well-established. * Bermudagrass variety "Sun Turf" when WEED IMPEDE is tank mixed with atrazine. * * * * *

Yes you can, I bought a Gilmore sprayer that attaches to my garden hose, it works like magic. Simply choose the setting[ 1-10 ] for the amount of herbicide to water and spray, three days later no leaves and the target is dead...............hope this helps.

I have a manual aerator (four prongs on an angle, straight handle on top with a T for handholds) same thing I use to turn over the soil in my gardens. I use this once or twice during the season to turn over the material without moving the container.

Zoysia is a very tough grass. I have grown it in the past in Florida with great success. Your blades would have to be kept very sharp. You would also need to keep it on a low setting. I used a rotary mower on mine. Reel mowers are the best to use on Bermuda.

Lousy. I tried spreading topsoil and it clogged. It's not made for those kinds of things.With that said, it does an excellent job aerating as I put seed and fertilizer on the lawn. Use as directed and it gets 5 stars.

I use it with wood chips on top to keep Bermuda grass at bay and if it can do that I imagine it can control anything. In my case I solarized the lawn first by stapling down some 3 mil plastic drop cloths for a few weeks. Once the grass was dead I pulled that up and put this down to keep it from coming back.

You should not use this as a Aerator spikes will compact your soil more Don't believe me here go to this http://plantscience.psu.edu/research/centers/turf/extension/factsheets/aeration the last paragraph explains the difference between a spikes and a aerator.

You should be able to. It will help with the filtration process. Hope this helps answer your question. Happy ponding!!!!!

Yes, I use mine to water my Lawn. It runs my 3 impulse sprinklers all day 4 days a week in the summer.
