Nice, but ...,

This review is from: Bosmere Compost Aerator 36in (Kitchen)
I have used this several times since I received it. I like it. But I would really like it much more if it were longer and had a sharper point on the end. I filed mine down to be sharp and the metal holds a nice edge which helps with the insertion process. I am not a little guy and I have plenty of brute strength but, I really have to give it some serious effort and use it like a drill to get it deep enough into my pile or my bins. Then the aerating is a whole different subject. Pulling this thing out of a pile is a lot like work. And because of the length of the tool (36") it leaves some space that is not being touched, thereby requiring actual turning of the pile or bin. If it were 40" or 42" now that would be sweet.
I guess one more issue with it, the fold down blades (which need to be oiled to work properly) could be longer too. But that would even make pulling the aerator out so much harder. I really do like it because it allows me to aerate my compost without having to turn a whole pile and for the idea that when I pull it out of my compost I can see and feel the heat of the cooking inside. Buy with care. If you can't get it in or pull it out - do not buy! But the blade issue that so many others talk about, is no issue if you care for it properly when you first get it.

This seemed like a clever, ergonomic way to maintain our compost piles. What we've found, though, is that it isn't sharp enough to slice its way through dense organic matter. The blades, which are supposed to fold against the pole as you push it down and then spread out as you pull it up, tend to do neither. It might be fine once the stuff breaks down into small bits, but we gave up and returned to using a pitchfork.
It's a neat concept. It's too bad it doesn't work.

This review is from: Bosmere Compost Aerator 36in (Kitchen)
I bought this last year and just started using it. We put all our kitchen waste in a small trash barrel to "compost" (i.e. freeze solid) over the winter. By spring it had started to "ripen." I was pleased to find that this tool does a great job of turning the composting material in just a few minutes. The four "wings" seem to grab stuff off the bottom on every plunge, especially with a little twist before pulling it up. I cannot say for sure, but I think it was worth the added expense compared to the two-wing version.
I was pleased to find it already composting in early spring. This will make my composting much easier. - Highly recommended if you compost in a barrel and are too cheap to buy one of those rotating units.
