Once aerated, clay removed via coring plugs, you might fill them with
sand. Before the clay breaks down again. Sand will give far better
drainage for the lawn turf.


i'll try that this year. Best way to put it down.. other than taking a
handful and dropping it in each hole.


Not knowing the area size:

First; use clean play sand from the box store, not the sand for pavers
as it compacts easily.

Second; cut the corner off the bag, walk the area with the bag
supported under an arm. Drizzle the sand like using a piping bag.

Large areas you could use a handheld or push type broadcast spreader.

Me? I'd carry the bag to fill the spaces/core holes as fast as
possible.

BTW, do you have irrigation lines in these areas. Turned off during
rains, etc. Allowed to dry out? Not leaking...
