I have acquired a Handy aerator/scarifier -
the simplest model they make -
which has spikes to dig into the soil,
with small wheels, presumably to roll the device along.

The trouble is, one cannot roll the thing
as the spikes stick into the ground and prevent it moving.

I can see how to use it for scarifying,
but not for aerating?

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

I have never used such a thing, but have you tried pulling rather than
pushing it?
