Planetary gear system works like the Spirograph toy. Turn the main gear in one direction and the small gears turn in the opposite direction.
This action causes knives to churn underground, shattering the soil profile while leaving only a small slit at the surface.
Think of this as cultivating and expanding the soil and creating macropore space in the root zone. The moving of soil particles and shattering below opens blocked macropores. When macorpores are blocked and not available for water they are not available for root growth. (Dr. Bowen)
Relieves fingering or streaming when soil layering. When water infiltrates and reaches an interface or layering the water will pond. At that point when the water pushes through at that point, approximately 70% of the water will move through 30% of the profile. (Dr Bowen ) PlanetAir in the only tool that causes a lateral exchange of gasses which results in an overall better quality of turf. This is how it works;
First, carbon dioxide immediately vents out of root zone. ![]() Next, irrigation moves in rapidly leading to dryer surfaces, Reducing the need for expensive fungicide and higher rate of usable fertility.
Last, oxygen gets sucked in behind the water movement down and laterally.
The result is new white root growth every time.
