GreenFingers have this selection of lawn aerators. They’re designed to help you aerate the lawn in autumn to allow increased air flow into the soil and reduce compactation in the lawn.
You can aerate by two main methods. One is using a hollow tine that removes a small core of soil from the lawn or by inserting a solid tine and just creating a hole.
Aerating the lawn encourages the grass to grow deeper roots making it more healthy and able to survive dry spells. It also helps surface water drain away more quickly and this reduces the surface levels of moss and algaes that can build up on lawn.
Do not aerate a newly planted lawn – it will not be over-compacted anyway if it’s new. Do not aerate a very sodden lawn as it will just be muddy and the hollows will not stay solid. It could cause more damage to the lawn. A moist lawn is fine – as it makes it easier – but not after heavy rain.
Creating hollow spaces in the soil also allows fertilisers to get down to the root system too.
The microorganisms in the soil can also break down the thatch on the surface easier after aerating.
These devices are all used for lawn aerating. Pick the one that suits you best!
