As a result of the operation of this equipment, soil ventilation is improved and air access to plant roots is ensured.

- Type of equipment. Modern petrol-powered models have impressive power and can cover large areas. Among the advantages of electric machines are high performance, environmental friendliness, maneuverability, and low noise levels.
- Age and condition of the grass. If your lawn has thick grass with a dense root system, you need to choose the most effective and powerful tool.
