KCT Rolling Lawn Aerator - Spike Roller Garden Manual Rolling Gardening Tool

Product Information

Larger gardens will probably require you to get a rolling aerator, whether that is electric or push powered. You could use aerator nail shoes for any sized garden as long as you are prepared to do the exercise. Type of soil

Spike shoes - these are cheap and easy to use and most effective on soft – but not soggy - ground in small gardens.Priced sensibly, I wasn’t expecting much quality-wise, but the BMC Lawn Aerator isn’t at all what I would call flimsy. The metal roller and prongs all seem to be strong and robust and they do exactly what they are supposed to- poke neat holes in the grass and soil without tearing it up. When attached right to your normal shoes, this straightforward and simple device will let you aerate your lawn by simply stomping over it. No strain to push or drag the rolling aerator around or digging the fork in, just walk across your lawn. As you go, its sharp spikes will get 50 mm deep into the ground to make fine holes and puff the soil up, which, in fact, is deeper than most manual and electric aerator rollers. So the aeration efficiency provided by the WIPHANY shoes is easily comparable to that of more expensive counterparts.

This is a 2-in-1 aerator and scarifier and comes with both a 48 claw aerator roller, and a 20 blade, stainless steel spike drum for scarifying. Both are ball bearings mounted for smooth operation and longevity. The hollow tines are long, removing plugs of soil to a depth of 13 cm, and reasonably wide at 1.6 cm across. The holes they create allow water, oxygen and fertiliser to get deep into the soil and improve the health of your lawn.In this case, air circulation means allowing stale carbon dioxide to leave the soil to make room for fresh oxygen to take its place. If your garden is anything like mine and you’re unfortunate enough to have soil with high levels of clay, then regular aeration is an absolute must! Manual aerators - although these are useful tools, which can do specific jobs (see above), using them requires a lot of effort as it gets tiring, even on a small lawn. But they’re cheap, and a great idea if you’re after a workout.
