Greenkey Rolling Lawn Aerator & Grass Spiker, Manual Rotary Garden Tool, Handheld Push Pull device for garden

Product Information

Using a rolling lawn aerator is less physically demanding than a plug aerator, as long as the ground is sufficiently soft. They can still be relatively hard work to push, especially as they need to be driven into the ground. As mentioned above, putting weights on a spiked lawn aerator can help, but of course this will make it more taxing to push.

Specification: Power consumption: 1400 W, Working width: 33 cm, Number of blades: 20 pieces, Number of claws: 48, Scarifying depth:– 3 / 3 / 7 / 9 mm, Weight: 13 kg The metal prongs that do the digging could maybe be a little longer but as they are they do what they’re supposed to if you remember to wet the soil first.Lawn aerators improve the appearance of grass over time by penetrating the ground and allowing air and water deeper into the soil. As a result, the roots have better access to nutrients and fertilisers. There are 4 working depths to choose from, but I found all but the shortest one too deep for aerating and definitely more suited for scarifying, but that’s usually the case with these types of aerator. Changing depth is very easy though and there is a handy lever for just that purpose. The only downside to this aerator is that the T-handle is a little narrow so users with larger hands may find it uncomfortable. There are no grips on the handles either, so it doesn’t quite offer the same comfort as padded garden tools.

For an electric machine, it’s reasonably noisy at 102 dB, so you may need to use ear protectors. For reference, 100 dB is a similar level of noise to a hand drill. It should go without saying that the following tools, even though they are sharp, won’t penetrate hard lawns, but then little will! In these cases you’ll need to water first or wait for rain. Lawn Aerator Sandals or Shoes These garden tools are called hollow tine aerators because they have hollow spikes, which remove a core or plug of soil when pulled out of the turf. This results in better aeration, especially on extremely compacted ground, as you’re creating more room in the soil for air to flow.The 27-pound, ETL-approved de-thatcher features a single-handle, five-position depth control, from less than half an inch below the soil to just under half an inch above. This way you can be sure you set the machine to remove what you want removed and not an entire swath of sod. The scarifying blade is pre-attached, but you also can swap out a rake attachment (included, but you need an adjustable wrench). The handles require minimal assembly, with included hardware. If you have a ride-on lawn mower, there is always the option of purchasing an aerator that is attached to your ride-on lawn mower and pulled along behind. Weights can be added for increased soil penetration.
