   Out of curiosity how many of you aerate your rough?
   
   Thanks,
   Virgil

   I don't seem to find the time to do it every year, but I try to get it done at least every other year. We do not have continuous cartpaths, so I do aerify the 30 feet or so at the ends of the paths every year.

   Going to start fairly soon with pull behind renovaire rough aerator. A little too much leaf work right now. Will probably continue to pull cores until ground is frozen.

   Virgil,
   Judging by your post script you got out of that job you had in the St. Louis area?
   Good for you hope your career path is on a better track now.

    As much as possible, which in play means we do the same high traffic areas each year.

    Virgil,
    
    We run our Aerway every fall (time permitting) on our green surrounds. Its pretty quick and allows for some compaction relief from our mowers. We do not do a wall verification of rough.

    We run 3 toro 3pt hitch drum style aerators and do a wall to wall aeration 3 times each summer. We are 27 holes and we close 9 holes each week for maintenance (aeration, verticutting, etc)

    What is this "closing" you speak of? I've never heard of that before.

    Andy,
    It's what we do between the hours of sun down and sun up. I miss Monday closures...
