Effect of Liquid Soil Aerator on Garden Yields and Plant Seed Germination
by Bob Richardson / Restoration Biologist

The application of Liquid Soil Aerator should allow the use of garden tillers to break up soil easier when gardening flowers, plants and vegetables. Plant seed germination increases which makes planting grass seed along with flowers, plants and vegetables more productive.

Radishes, carrots, and kidney beans were grown in a greenhouse under controlled conditions. The results recorded in Tables 1, 2, and 3 demonstrate the observed improvements in plant seed germination and yields from the use of Liquid Soil Aerator.

Liquid Soil Aerator has been particularly useful in treating fields under cultivation in which plants are growing, newly transplanted, or freshly seeded soils. By treating the areas immediately around the growing plants or planted seeds, effective aggregation of these critical areas can be accomplished without using Liquid Soil Aerator on the non-productive areas.

Users of Liquid Soil Aerator consistently report that flowers are brighter and garden vegetables such as onions, carrots, squash, beans, corn, tomatoes, potatoes and peppers are healthier, larger, and taste better.

This test supports the claim that Liquid Soil Aerator increases plant seed germination which aids in planting grass seed along with gardening, flowers, and plants. Liquid Soil Aerator should allow the use of garden tillers to be easier, requiring less time and effort.
