He flashes university research to sell Air 8—but is it the whole story? In this video, I break down the science he didn’t show you. Liquid aeration sounds impressive, but does the data actually support the hype? Let’s dig into what the university study really says—and what he conveniently left out. If you're serious about turfgrass and tired of marketing spin dressed up as science, this one's for you.

Which Grass Survives Water Restrictions? Science Has the Answer. On this episode of Turfgrass Epistemology, we dive into a long-term study that puts warm-season turfgrasses to the test under real-world municipal water restrictions. Which species held up best when irrigation was limited to once or twice a week? How do turf quality, coverage, and drought resilience stack up over time?

Join me as we examine what the science actually says—not the marketing claims—about how Zoysia, Bermuda, and other species perform under regulated irrigation frequencies. This research has big implications for homeowners, sports fields, golf courses, and city planners facing tighter water policies.

If you care about turf performance under drought pressure, this is the video you don’t want to miss.

You've seen the ads: "Liquid aeration breaks up soil compaction—no plugs, no mess!" But does it really work? This video dives into a new peer-reviewed study that compares liquid aeration products (humic acids, seaweed, fertilizer blends) with mechanical hollow-tine cultivation on hybrid bermudagrass fairways.

The results are eye-opening.

✅ Did liquid aeration improve turf health? ✅ Can it reduce compaction like traditional aerification? ✅ What really increases water infiltration and rooting?

Whether you're a turf manager, lawn care professional, or homeowner chasing the perfect lawn—this evidence-based review will help you separate marketing hype from measurable results.

📊 Spoiler: Not all "aeration" is created equal.

🔬 Backed by science. No fluff. 👀 Watch now to see what works—and what doesn't.
