Regarding those manual lawn aerating machine things that you push along,
spikes on a roller. Are they any good and do they make the job easier? Or
is a garden fork just as effective? The machines are on sale at B&Q right
now and I wondered if I should buy one.

Thanks.


Yes they make the job easier.
Yes a garden fork is just as effective - probably more effective
IMHO, having got one, I think they are a CWOT.
