E-Tree Lawn Spike Aerator Shoes Garden Grass Aerators Adjustable Straps Manufactured in the UK

Product Information

What they achieve is to make a series of small holes. Those holes do allow a little air in, and they also allow some rain in as well. Both of those will help promote healthier grass, and a better looking lawn.

Whether this will be beneficial for your soil or not can depend on what type of soil you have. Adding sand to clay soils can cause it to lump together more, not less. Choosing the Right Type of Aerator One of the best things about this aerator is how durable it is. The tines are easily replaceable if needed, and the body of the aerator is extremely solid. There’s a small area where you can place your foot so your weight will sink the tines into the soil.

My Top Recommended Lawn Aerators

If you’ve got a small to medium size garden and you’re after an electric machine, the Einhell GC-SA 1231/1 Electric 2-in-1 Scarifier And Lawn Aerator is well worth considering. This model works as both a scarifier and a lawn aerator and has a 31 cm width. One Size Fits All - When it comes to shoes or sandals there really is no such thing as one size fits all. For these even to be remotely effective they need to have a tight but comfortable fit, and a one size all, is ridiculous for that to happen.

It’s worth noting that this aerator isn’t ‘hollow-tined’. The 8 cm spikes don’t remove any earth, so the ground isn’t any less compact. However, it’s still very effective. The spikes are 6 mm wide and create holes that allow air, water and nutrients to get deeper into the soil. This type of aerator has an additional benefit over hollow tine models – there’s no need to remove plugs of soil from the tines after use. Instead, simply insert the spikes into the soil and remove. Weighing just 8.5 kg, this lawn aerator is one of the lightest on the market. It also runs slightly more quietly than other electric machines on this list (though only just), producing 98 dB. It is important to choose the type of shoe that is safe for your yard and the type of surface you plan on working on. Our top Lawn Spike Aerator Shoe for your gardenRemoving plugs of soil can also help with drainage in compacted ground. If the ground is too compact, water can end up sitting on top of the soil, unable to drain. Not only can this make the garden unpleasant to walk in, but it can damage the grass and soil. Removing plugs of soil will help water drain better. If the lawn aerator removes plugs of soil, it will make the soil less compact. This can help grass roots to establish, if they have become overcrowded, improving the health of the grass.
