Best Answer

Aeration improves movement of water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide through your soil which is important for not only plant roots, but also for microbes and other soil biota that also help move nutrients around for your plants.

But, don't aerate too much with tilling. Tilling increases soil erosion and aslo nutrient leaching.
