Regarding those manual lawn aerating machine things that you push along,
spikes on a roller. Are they any good and do they make the job easier?
Or
is a garden fork just as effective? The machines are on sale at B&Q right
now and I wondered if I should buy one.

Thanks.

Bought those lawn spiking sandals (on impulse) last year but haven't
finished screwing the spikes onto them yet :-)

In theory you just wander around the lawn improving it as you go.

It's filling the hole afterwards with sand that does the improving.

What sort of sand do you recommend?
Sharp sand, NOT builders sand.
