Ideas and Core Aerator Reviews - FAQ and Questions
- my core aerator is not displacing cores of earth onto the surface of my lawn, does this make a difference?
The hollow tines are blocked up and the ground is only slightly damp like it is meant to be. All i am getting is cylindrical holes in the ground with the odd core left on the surface. It is a manual aerator, you have to actually push the hollow tines into the ground. Am i wasting my time if i am not getting cores on the surface?
A Just pokeing holes in the ground will aerate the soil. Thats what is done most of the time.

- At Lowes I saw a lawn aerator for $20. It's a core aerator. You step on it. How well does it work?
It digs two cores, by putting your weight on it. The previous cores are ejected by the next ones. I'm concerned that it might take weeks to aerate a lawn with it. I would probably have to get the dirt very wet first, to make it easier to push the aerator down into the ground. I would rather find a power aerator, if I could find one cheap. But this one might do, for a small lawn. Has anyone tried it?
A I have this very one, green handle and greyish metal body. It works just fine... just as you say "for a small lawn" which is my back yard. It doesn't take me all that long... less time than you think it would... but it in fact puts a strain on your back. I'm in shape and in my 30s... I was surprised feeling the strain. My rear yard is about 20 x 60' and it takes me about an hour to complete. After mowing, I "push" two rows up and back -per each row of mower tracks. The tool can, at times, get clogged per which I use a quarter inch drill bit with a cordless drill to clear. I also found a hidden benefit using the tool; I was able to feel a substantial difference in certain parts of my soil when pushing the tool into the ground. This indicated to me locations of shallow top soil which I dug out and replaced. I thought this was very useful bacuse some of these spots were area of lawn decline - this certyainly helped me diagnose the problem. It's a decent tool for a smaller lawn as you suspect. Perhaps you would like to rent one- I thinnk they rent for under 50 bucks at Home Depot.
