Aerating the lawn.
 

What gadgets are available for aerating lawns, maybe someone has a novel
idea for making one up.

I have seen one from Wolf Garten which consists of two tubes on a bar, costs
about £25.00, it could take forever to do a lawn with this and it does not
seem worth it to me.

At B&Q you can get one with 4 tubes and costs £16!

'Dermuid',

I gave away a lawn spiker recently. I had used it on just a few
occasions during the last twenty five years or so and found it to be
ineffective.

I am a great believer in using a garden fork. Insert its tines to a
depth of about six to nine inches, prise the turf slightly and continue
in that manner. Brush gritty compost into the holes which you have
created and all will be well.

I wish you success.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.
