Comment: Before considering a merge please remove any AI generated material and 'use your own words. However, the references you have chosen do not verify any notability.We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 08:18, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Core aeration, sometimes known as core cultivation,[1] is a method of aerating lawns and reducing soil compaction. Core aeration involves removing small plugs from the soil, and is distinct from spike aeration, the process of inserting spikes into the soil to open up holes, which can actually increase compaction.[2][3]
Overview
[edit]Core aeration is performed with a machine that has hollow tines 2-3 inches long,[1][3] in contrast to the solid tines seen in spike aerators. Core aeration is also effective in removing thatch (a layer of living and dead organic material, including plant stems and roots, which, in thicknesses exceeding 1/2 in., contributes to reduced fertilizer absorption and increased weed growth).[1][4] Core aeration can also reduce water runoff and stimulate root growth due to some parts of the root being severed as well as the increased aeration as a result of the process.[3]
