Default Re: Air-spade

The concept is to improve air penetration and drainage. Often the holes either air blasted or drilled/cored are filled with coarse sand, fine gravel woodchip etc.

Here we have some serious compacted clay, it would help, a lot.

Some will put fertilizer down them holes too but I'm a little skeptical of that. It could turn nasty.
