Dagger
Our ‘Dagger’ system is a simple and very effective way to break soil compaction
Compacted soil doesn’t allow rainwater to permeate down from the surface, so we can use our ‘Dagger’ system every two metres to send a shaft either 300 or 600mm into the ground and release a compressed air charge, decompressing surrounding soil/sub-soil to allow drainage.
