Anybody know where to get an aerator that's basically a 20-gallon barrel filled with water with a row of aerator tubes fastened around each head pulled by hand? Less than 1000 sq ft and too hard for foot-stomper aerator.

Magically someone was passing out flyers to do aeration in the neighborhood this week. This is the just the 2nd time I've seen someone come by in 20 years.
Prices listed vary from $80-160 front and back, depending on any extra services.


Just be sure his device pulls plugs of soil and does not merely spike
the soil. The former actually aerates; the latter compresses the soil
around the holes it punches and makes things worse.

Let us know what you finally decide. How old is this thread now?

It's old as the hills.

What is your plan of attack, have you found a solution? I get the
impression you can't make up your mind, I hope I'm wrong.

The OP has read this advice from AHR.

I wish he could make up his mind in the matter. Take some action and
use the advice already given. Tell us if we were wrong.

On hold. Low priority. Will update if and when it happens.

I can respect that. If and when you make up your mind.
