What gadgets are available for aerating lawns, maybe someone has a novel

Whatever you consider must have tubes or such to remove a soil plug. Any
spike will just further compress the soil. Depending on the size of your
area using a 1 inch sharpened pipe, rubber mallet and reamer might be an
expensive way to go.
