 Rating:  - Great if it workedMy Yard Butler core aerator broke the first time I used it. The metal is too weak to handle hard compacted soil, even if damp. Considering I bought this exclusively to use on hard compacted soil, I was a little disappointed. The vertical metal bar bent after only a few steps. It was still somewhat usable, but just barely. Rating:  - Of little use on sod over clayProbably a great tool if you have actual soil beneath your lawn and have patience to boot. I live in one of those sprung-up-overnight bedroom communities miles outside an urban beltway, where they cheaply threw sod over pure clay. Parts of my lawn are horribly compacted, and even after a hard rain, this tool can't get enough depth to kick out the previous core. If you're in that situation, apply the cost of this instead to a service call from a professional with a big machine. Rating:  - For $10 it's greatI took a class in tree caring and this tool is simple to use. You place it on the area you want to aerate and step on the bar at the bottom. It is suppose to cut a core in the soil thus creating more surface contact area for the air. I saw a previous review about the handle can break. I think the driving force is with your foot on the aerator and your body to weight it down. I'll be cautious about the handle now that I know it can break. I got it at Loews for less than $10. ...

The section is like clay and must be tough for the grass to get water... It runs off into other parts of the lawn... Area was always dry and barely any grass. Used this to make plug holes in the area and like magic... It looks like the rest of the lawn now. No extra watering, no fertilizers... Just a couple of holes in the ground and a world of difference. So I used it on the rest of my lawn. Now the whole thing looks like I fertilized ... Read More Rating: - Serves its purpose, but cheaper elsewhereThis aerator works as it's intended, and wetting the lawn half a day before coring does make it much easier. We have clay underneath the lawn, so the part that was dry was quite hard to core through. It's been a week and a half, and we can see some green grass coming out of the brown patches now. And in response to the person that mentioned it's hard to empty out the holes, you don't need to empty it, just keep pushing it into the ground. Each dig pushes out the dirt from the prior dig. After you're done, ... Read More |
