Lawn Aerator information
- Lawn aerator (removes plugs) with details of
a traditional English lawn aerator (removes plugs)
and other English garden tools
Victorian Range - Stainless Steel
Lawn Aerator (removes plugs) - 2 Hollow Tines
are reamed to allow cores to eject easily. Hardwood
Handles.
Lawns with heavy foot traffic
or patches that don't drain easily need aeration.
Without lawn aeration, grass roots tend to knot
into each other instead of growing vertically
into the soil. Due to the root's diminished contact
with the soil's nutrients, lawn grass becomes
vulnerable to predators like worms and insects
as well as weeds like dandelions or crabgrass.
The solution to thatch is to aerate
the thatched area by poking holes into it with
a lawn aerator (removes plugs). But how you poke
those holes is the question.
Spike Aerator Vs. Plug Aerator
A core or plug lawn aerator (removes plugs) like
this one, actually pulls plugs out of the lawn.
Pieces of your lawn are removed so that a direct
open link is made between the surface air and
the nutritious soil below.
Lawn Stabbing Doesn't Mean Lawn Aeration (removes
plugs)
Spike lawn aeration stabs the compacted lawn without
removing any of it. But if your lawn thatch problem
is serious, you can hardly guarantee that soil,
air, water, and grass will find each other just
because you've put a spike through the knotted
roots; that doesn't necessarily mean aeration
and you may need a core lawn aerator.
With plugs, you know that the grass roots are
going to reconnect with the soil. Spiking will
only work if the aeration problem is extremely
small or localized. But in that case a garden
fork should easily suffice to break open the thatch
just enough to get lawn aeration. Space-age boot
lawn aerators with nasty spikes seem hardly worth
it.
