cause a change by passing air through (of sewage)
aeration: To supply with air or expose to the circulation of air: aerate soil or soil aeration.
("aeration, aerify, aerification, punch") a machine is used to punch small diameter holes in ground that has been compacted over time to loosen soil and allow oxygen and nutrients to get to the roots of the grass (usually thought of with respect to putting greens, but all grass areas can be done)
In the soil, as in compost, air is necessary for most beneficial soil organisms, providing them with the oxygen and nitrogen. Roots, like microorganisms, must also breath and would be suffocated without air. Aerated soil allows for the easy flow of air around soil particles. In addition, the pockets and channels that allow the air to circulate also allow water to reach a greater percentage of soil particles. Working the soil when it is not too dry or wet will help aerate it; double digging is particularly effective. Adding organic material is also helpful, as it helps to break up soils heavy in clay.
IS TO DESOLVE AIR (OXYGEN) INTO THE UNFERMENTED WORT.
A process used to expose biosolids to circulating air, creating aerobic systems.
to add air to water or to the pores in soil. It adds oxygen and allows other gases trapped in the water to escape.
To allow the wine to air before tasting it.
To mix air into a solution.
To add air to a liquid or to pass dry ingredients through a fine-mesh sifter so that large pieces can be broken down or removed. Sifting dry ingredients aerates them while distributing small amounts of chemical leaveners or dry seasoning evenly through the mixture. Use sifters, whips, beaters or forks to aerate.
A means of adding oxygen to your wort.
The process of loosening the soil to incorporate air.
expose to fresh air; "aerate your old sneakers"
aerate (sewage) so as to favor the growth of organisms that decompose organic matter
impregnate, combine, or supply with oxygen; "oxygenate blood"
Loosen compacted soil to allow oxygen, water and nutrients to get below the surface. Aeration is done either by punching holes into the lawn or removing plugs of soil from the lawn.
When a machine is used to punch small holes in a green that has been compacted over time. This helps loosen soil and allows oxygen and nutrients to enter roots.
v. To supply (soil or liquid) with oxygen.
To expose to the action or circulation of air.
The process of introducing air pockets or voids into the soil to promote healthy root growth. In most cases turning the soil well and adding organic materials at that time creates minute air pockets in the planting bed before installing plants. This allows for good drainage and avoids compacted, soggy or sodden soil.
To expose to the air, for example, by turning compost to provide enough oxygen for micro-organisms to use in breaking down organic waste.
To dissolve air in a liquid.
Expose the wine to air by decanting or opening the bottle so that the wine is ready for consumption in less time.
Forcing air to mix with wine, in order to further bring out the aromas and flavors. Aerating techniques include swirling wine in your glass, decanting, and pouring it onto your date's head.
Mechanically loosen soil to allow for better air permeability and water penetration.
This refers to a manual process whereby an air stream is blown onto paper sheets to create a riffling effect that separates the sheets as they are fed to the printing press.
To expose a product to air.
Loosening or puncturing the soil to increase water penetration.
To mix air into solution to provide oxygen for the yeast.
To saturate with atmospheric air or oxygen into solution.
To expose wine to air for a period of time before drinking to allow its bouquet and flavout to develop to the optimum level.
A synonym for sift; to pass ingredients through a fine-mesh device to break up large pieces and to incorporate air into the ingredients to make them lighter.
To force air and oxygen into livewells to keep fish or bait alive. Also, to force air under the running surface of a hull.
