 Re: has anyone ever used an air spade?
Eric's right its a trail behind compressor with big hoses, noisey and yes messy with the dirt thrown out. As I tried to suggest there is little scientific evedence to demonstrate decompaction does very much at all...in fact the few studies that have been published in peer reviewed journals show no difference from the control in the measurements taken.
Personally I think its another case of one size does not fit all, or rather one element does not meet all needs.....mulch, water then decompact then drench with the combination of goodies determined from your comprehensive soil tests....that combination provides the best of all worlds.
