Has anybody successfully used a hollow tine aerator without it
continually clogging? If so, what was it? I couldn't get a bulb
planter to work at all, so tiny tines seem a non-starter.

Are the spiked drum type any good?

The one time I did mine it was with 12-point lobster-claw crampons (not much
use for them in icy Northants). The comments from passers-by and the lack of
noticeable effect decided me that the time was better spent round the pub.
Anyway, moss is quite pretty.
