[QUOTE="novatech, post: 372063, member: 5494"] You would be hard pressed to find more of an advocate for organics. I am also a big fan of sustanable forage. But going back to your statement What is the purpose of a sheet foot's roller in the construction industry? Why does an aerator do some what of the same? A sheep foot roller is specificly designed to compact. Go look at one, then go look at a cows foot. Go look at an aerator, it is designed to cut not pack. I have seen overgrazed pastures brought back to life in one season with aeration. Problem is they do not have to do it every year, only when overly compacted. The effect of aeration will last for a long time, and possablely, with proper pasture management, would not have to be used again. Aeration is not for every pasture or every type of soil and is not a cure-all, but it does serve a purpose for the right conditions. [/QUOTE]
