Does anyone elese have problems with their hollow tine aerator. I
have one
with tines 4" long that become clogged at about 1" from the sharp
end. The
cores dont move up the tines and fall out the top. Is it a problem
with the
aerator or the types of soil I have got,and is there a solution

Why does it matter if the tines are clogged? The aerating holes are
made whether or not the tines are open. As a matter of fact, why are
the tines made hollow at all, except to make the implement cost more?
