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. |

Aerating the lawn.
'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. "Dermuid" wrote in message news What gadgets are available for aerating lawns, maybe someone has a novel idea for making one up.

As is almost everything! :-) I don't know whether or not Dermuid's lawn is part of his business tho'. I *do* know that in my garage (in the other corner) are several aerating tools including flat spiked plates that you strap to your shoes and a couple of variations on special tools and they're all bl...y hard work! There are several of these franchised lawn care people around the country, our local one is greenthumb and they come in, whistle round, take the money and go. No fuss. |
