Outsunny Garden Rolling Lawn Aerator Heavy Duty Steel Grass Roller w/Adjustable Handle

Product Information

By appearance, the Kingfisher RC401 resembles a pitchfork. However, there are certain features that make it different. First things first, unlike regular pitchforks, the tines on this tool are hollow inside and have pointed tips, which allows you to push them deeper into the ground for better aeration. And secondly, it has a sturdy horizontal crossbar above the spikes where you can rest your foot to push the fork, making the whole process much more convenient. You simply go over the garden with the fork, and create a series of holes to help allow some air into the soil. A depth of around 5 cm (2-3") is all that is required. Even on a small garden this takes time, and for larger lawns the reality is a garden fork would just take far too long. The most important consideration for any buyer is the number of spikes and the depth of those spikes. For it to be effective, it should have around 27 spikes and that will give you about 180 spikes per square metre. As it is easy to guess from its name, this tool doubles as a lawn aerator and a scarifier thanks to the two interchangeable attachments that come in the box. The 16-tine scarifying roller not only allows you to remove thatch and moss from your lawn but also helps better air and water penetration by making deep holes in the soil. The aerating roller, in turn, comes equipped with 20 spikes that help clean the lawn from leaves, moss, and other debris. The debris is neatly collected into a 40-litre bag for further disposal.

To proceed, the Greenkey rolling aerator comprises 40 tines 45 mm each to ensure deeper penetration into the soil for better aeration and healthier grass growth. Since it is a push lawn aerator, you will have complete freedom of movement and will be able to keep aerating as long as you've got the energy to do that. As we mentioned earlier, the purpose of all these is to open up compacted soil and introduce air into the soil beneath and around the grass. They all do this in slightly different ways but the purpose remains the same. It’s best practise to aerate your lawn now in late Autumn, as that will give your lawn a few weeks for it to recover before winter strikes. By using this type of tine aerator, it will allow water and air to circulate better through it. It also ensures heavy rainfall won’t ruin your lawn, which can easily be caused by waterlogging.These will do the job perfectly, as long as you take the time to properly attach them. The straps on these really do need to be properly tightened to avoid them falling off. If you grow your own lawn, you know first hand how challenging this task may be. Even if you water and mow it regularly, creating and maintaining favourable conditions for it to grow isn't always easy. Therefore, if you've noticed that some areas of your lawn look too dry or too damp, buying an aerator can be the answer. These tools typically differ in types, designs, and sizes, but they all work based on the same operating principle, that is, they create holes in the soil to provide the root system of your lawn with more air and water necessary for healthy growth. Generally, it is recommended to aerate the lawn once a year, in spring or in autumn, and do it only when it's clean of dry leaves, moss and other debris. Now, all you're left to do is get a lawn aerator that will best suit your needs. Hopefully, in our selection, you'll find what you need.

If your lawn grows on pretty soil high in clay or you live in a rather dry climate, more likely than not, the aeration process for you is a real challenge. If so, we recommend you to consider the Kingfisher RC401 aerator specifically designed for the use in harsh conditions. If you’re an owner of a middle-sized or large lawn, consider the VonHaus 2-in-1 model. Powered by electricity, it will make an easy job of taking care of your lawn, requiring no elbow grease from you.

The cheapest method of aerating a garden is to buy shoes or sandals with spikes built into the bottom of the shoes. This type of aerator has as the name would suggest a range of spikes that push down into the lawn, and create small thin holes. It is known as a rolling spike aerator because it usually has two wheels, and a drum with the spikes attached. That is where a good quality garden aerator can really help. They speed up the process of doing this task, which you need to do at least twice a year.
