KCT Rolling Lawn Aerator - Spike Roller Garden Manual Rolling Gardening Tool

Product Information

Spike shoes - these are cheap and easy to use and most effective on soft – but not soggy - ground in small gardens. The maximum working width of both attachments is 32 cm, which allows the aerator to make wider paths in one go and cover bigger areas in a shorter amount of time. Don’t overlook the possibility of adjusting the working depth, an ergonomic handle with a non-slip grip, and manoeuvrable wheels for hassle-free navigation.

While they’re not great for large lawns, aerator shoes can be a nifty tool for smaller gardens in need of aeration. The one to one and a half-inch spikes of the shoes work well in small patches, though you must think about where you’re walking when wearing them in your garden. These shoes could easily wreak havoc on a small yard if not used in an organised fashion. Because the spikes on the soles of these seemingly ingenious shoes are solid instead of hollow, they more often push the soil sideways or downwards when they’re in the ground, which compacts the ground even more. Weighing just 8.5 kg, this lawn aerator is one of the lightest on the market. It also runs slightly more quietly than other electric machines on this list (though only just), producing 98 dB.Low cost and easy to operate, roller spike aerators are quite popular products, but there are some common issues. Firstly, some of the cheaper models are not all that well put together and may be a bit on the flimsy side. On top of that, they are sometimes too lightweight and so the pines hardly penetrate the ground without some alteration to the design to make them heavier, or manually pushing down on the handle. They are all pretty similar in design: Roller spike aerator – they are all pretty similar in design The Garden Spike Roller works by perforating the ground with its steel spikes, creating small holes in the ground. This allows air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grassroots which help the roots to grow deeply and produce a lush garden lawn. When attached right to your normal shoes, this straightforward and simple device will let you aerate your lawn by simply stomping over it. No strain to push or drag the rolling aerator around or digging the fork in, just walk across your lawn. As you go, its sharp spikes will get 50 mm deep into the ground to make fine holes and puff the soil up, which, in fact, is deeper than most manual and electric aerator rollers. So the aeration efficiency provided by the WIPHANY shoes is easily comparable to that of more expensive counterparts.

Aerating focuses more on the soil, allowing more moisture and oxygen to get to the root area, where it encourages root growth and nutrient uptake. Manual rolling drum – ideally you want a good number of metal spikes on the drum to create plenty of holes – as a guide, 27 spikes will give you about 180 spikes per square metre. The spikes should also be at least 5cm long to ensure they penetrate the ground deeply. There are different types of lawn aerator available, which can produce different results. Below, you will find information about how and when to use an aerator, as well as how to choose the best aerator for your garden. Benefits of Aerating the Lawn There isn’t much to talk about design wise with these lawn aerators. They consist of a solid plastic sole, 5 straps to hold them on your feet, and 13 nails on each foot to do the aerating. They arrive in pieces and need to be assembled but it’s a very simple task, especially if you use a decent spanner instead of the useless one that is supplied by Abreome.Using the Garden Spike Roller is a more natural approach to achieving a rich green lawn, rather than using potentially damaging and expensive chemicals. When doing the actual aerating, it’s important to focus your attention on the areas of your lawn with the most issues; there’s no point in wasting your time and energy going over healthy grass several times. Problem areas, on the other hand, need to be gone over several times with the aerator. Be sure to do your aerating in an organised manner as well, similar to how you mow the lawn.
