Product Information

Now the reality is that you can puncture holes with the humble garden fork. For small gardens this is an effective solution, and also a good option for those who don't mind a bit of manual work, or are able to do this type of work.

As we mentioned earlier, the purpose of all these is to open up compacted soil and introduce air into the soil beneath and around the grass. They all do this in slightly different ways but the purpose remains the same.

These do involve a lot of physical effort, and it can be quite a slow process if you plan on aerating a bigger lawn. Using one of these is really hard work so be prepared for that if you are considering buying one of these.

Aerating your garden is simply a matter of inserting thin holes into your lawn. This allows air and nutrients into the ground beneath your lawn, and promotes the growth of the healthy grass that sits on the surface. We also found that with the electrical aerators that they come as a combination tool with interchangeable scarifying and aerating drums. These are expensive so a bit of an investment for something you only need to do once or twice a year.For lawns and grass the very best aerator and the one we would strongly recommend is one that has what are termed "hollow tines" sometimes referred to as "spoons".
