The lawn aerator reduces soil compaction in lawns. It is designed to remove plugs of soil so oxygen, water and nutrients can reach the roots of the grass. The holes will also reduce water run-off, so less irrigation is needed.
It is recommended to use the aerator from the end of spring to the beginning of autumn, preferably after one or more days of rain.
Oil handles for a protective coat against heat and water. Unoiled handles may cause the handle to crack and weaken. We recommend boiled linseed oil. Frequency depends on conditions. At the very least oil handles at the beginning of the gardening season.
