We've got the cores that have just popped out and we've got plenty of nice deep holes. It is fantastic for increasing the drainage in the lawn, getting fertilizer, air and water.

You can sweep them up.
Or you can let them dry, it will be broken fragmented with the rotary mower, does a top dressing.

So this isn't perfect. You're going to be putting in work. I wouldn't recommend for a large yard AT ALL.The other con is that since this is a physical job (you push it in), it's going to really tough to do at all in dry, rocky, compacted soil.Having said all that, if you wait til it rains a good bit. Ooh boy, this thing works like butter and you'll have your yard done in no time.I can't stress enough how big a difference dry soil makes vs wet soil. It's like night and day.I gave this 5 stars because it works as advertised and is great value for the money.

recently purchased the Tine Lawn Aerator and have been quite pleased with its performance. After using it for a few weeks, here are my thoughts:Pros:Effective Aeration: The aerator does a great job of penetrating the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grassroots. My lawn already looks healthier and more vibrant.Easy to Use: The handle design and overall weight make it relatively easy to maneuver across the lawn. I found it comfortable to use for extended periods.Durable Build: The tines are sturdy and well-made, showing no signs of bending or wear even after multiple uses. The overall construction feels solid and built to last.Cost-Effective: Compared to hiring a professional service or renting equipment, this aerator is a cost-effective solution for regular lawn maintenance.Cons:Manual Effort Required: While the tool is effective, it does require a fair amount of manual effort, especially for larger lawns. It can be a bit tiring if you have a lot of ground to cover.Clogging: Occasionally, the tines can get clogged with soil, especially if the ground is very wet. It's not a major issue, but it does require some occasional cleaning to maintain efficiency.Overall, the Tine Lawn Aerator is a great addition to my lawn care routine. It's effective, well-built, and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a manual aerator to improve your lawn's health, this is a solid choice. Just be prepared for a bit of a workout if you have a large area to cover!

My lawn is small, it makes no sense to rent a commercial aerator. I bought this to aerate and reseed. Note: I’m a woman in my early 40s, I live in the PNW.The soil kept getting compacted in the hollow spikes. I ended up cleaning them out after every 1-2 uses. I grabbed a can of cooking spray and sprayed the spikes (inside and out) before each time I pressed them into the ground—way faster and easier than trying to force the compacted soil out.Wet soil is much easier to work with, so highly recommend you soak your lawn before using. Was surprised how compacted my PNW lawn was. Turns out previous owners had a yard service but never aerated.

It looks sturdy and I have tried using once. It can work as expected.

Se veía bonito pero realmente es basura, no debería comprar este producto. Se empezó a doblar en media hora, revisando el producto, me di cuenta que la parte de soldadura está desprendido. Es por mal diseñado, creo que el vendedor nunca ha probado su producto y no importa que pase después de recibir dinero. No va a aguantar nada aunque sea para un jardín de casa.

Assembly is required before use,but instructions were very straightforward and came with its own tools. Once assembled, it worked just as described and easy to make holes. The dirt does come out of the holes when you press the tool into the ground. I recommend not doing it with super wet soil as to the dirt will get stuck in the holes.

Funciona muy bien .!!!!!! El que se tape en algunas ocasiones dependerá de la consistencia de la tierra de tu terreno. En general buen producto.

I love this tool. Totally worth it.Study and solid design.Easy to assemble with just four nuts and bolts.What's also great is that in the package came with everything to mount this tool together and even an extra nut and bolt.I plugged half of my yard in one and a half hours because it was incredibly easy to use with not much effort.Tips:Make sure your soil is wet but do not soak it.Line up and press down hard enough with your foot to ensure that the soil goes through.You must press down hard enough and the tool does all the work for you without it clogging.Avoid and rocky areas if possible so that any small rocks does not end up clogging the tool.Have a bucket ready to collect plugs and you'll end up having to spend an extra hours or so collecting them.Funny thing to note, my wife saw the plugs and said "ohhhh looks like 💩"See pictures

It arrived without the bolts to screw it together so is not fit for use. Attempts to contact the company have not been answered.

Does the job it is supposed to do. I had a rock stuck in one of the tines. It was a pain to remove but it was a weird accident.

Folks I thought I took pics, however I am not able to locate them right now. Wanted to write a quick review, few quick notes. My folks yard was/is very compacted since they lived there for years, plus my brother having OCD would cut the grass 4 - 6 times a week. Needless to say, years later now in 2020 I am working to fix up the house and sell it. Couldn't grow grass anywhere since 95% of the yard was hard compacted soil/clay, etc. Most of the yard ended up being weeds like clover and such because of the frequent grass cutting, no fertilizer and no upkeep/maintenance other than cutting. I picked up a Sunjoe dethatcher, which was truly a miracle to even know something like that existed, figure I would manually aerate the lawn because it couldn't hurt to get water and nutrients into the soil.SUPER easy to aerate, and keep in mind you might have to move your one side of this tool if you hit a stone or something. I would even go through and step on the foot part and push one side down, then tilt the aerating tool for the other side to go in. Then tubes of soil would pop out of the tubes and just leave those go, they will break down shortly and you will never know they are there. Once in a great while I would need to use a screwdriver in one side of something got lodged in the tube.Would HIGHLY recommend, keeping in mind this is a manual process and I did it over a few days here and there throughout the yard. Takes no time to do, worked great after some rain, but regardless I even did most of the aeration holes mid summer, no rain and had no issues. All told I spent about 7 hrs over 3 days or so, and its done! You don't have to go through back to back holes, mind are roughly less than 1 - 2 ft, sometimes even 3 - 4 ft away from other aerating holes I created. Then I fertilized when it started getting cooler out and the lawn LOOKS incredibly beautiful, the fertilizer has iron in it, which I think is the component that really helped the lawn develop a nice darker, richer green color.
