Default Hollow Tine Aerator

Hi All,

This is driving me spare.
My lawn is very compacted, and the earth is full of clay.
I've got one like this:

and it's useless. First I had to cut off two of the tines, because I'm not
heavy enough to push all five into the ground (I only weigh twelve stone).
However, the major problem is that it keeps clogging up every five
minutes. I'm sure that it would be fine if my soil was dry and sandy, but
then, if my soil was dry and sandy, then I wouldn't need one of these.

Please can someone recommend me a hollow tine aerator that actually works.

Thanks in advance.

Go to your local bowls or golf club and ask if they will hollow tine your
lawn for u we do this regularly for locals and charge around £70 per lawn
