SOIL COMPACTION...
Soil is comprised of mineral or organic soil parti- cles with spaces in between called 'pore space'. This space contains varying amounts of air and water depending on soil type and conditions. The ratio of particle to pore space would ideally be 50:50 in natural uncompacted friable soils.

ditions, is very destructive to soil structure and results in the condition described as 'compaction'.
Compaction starts at the surface and builds progressively throughout the soil profile often to considerable depths preventing water penetration and the movement and up-take of all essential elements. As the soil particles pack closer and closer together, pore space is eliminated and the soil is devoid of air and water, thus denying grass plants the 'essentials of life'.
USA research has demonstrated that soils com- pacted to levels measuring over 300 psi can seriously inhibit root development. However, it is not unusual to find compaction levels of 600- 800 psi in sports turf including golf greens.
QUAKE METER PUTS YOU IN CONTROL OF COMPACTION PROBLEMS!
