Leave Soil Plugs on Lawn

What happens here

After aerating, your lawn will be covered with small soil plugs. The video explicitly states, 'Don't skip this step!' These plugs should be left on the lawn. They will naturally break down over a couple of weeks, distributing their nutrients back into the soil and further enriching your lawn. Do not rake them up or remove them.

Goal: Do not remove the soil plugs (cores) extracted during aeration; let them break down naturally on the lawn to return nutrients to the soil.
