3.0 out of 5 stars
Better than nothing for enclosed compost bins,
By Barbara B. (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yard Butler CA-36 Compost Aerator (Lawn & Patio)
The best way to turn a compost heap is to get a garden fork and just go to town, but if you have those closed plastic bins (like I do now), that's not a viable option. That's why I bought this compost tool and it's better than nothing since at least it helps move the compost around. However, it's not easy to push the tool down into the heap and half the time, the tines don't open up when you pull it back up. The tines are also quite short, so they don't catch much when they do open. Still, I haven't found a better alternative and if you use a up and down motion (rather like churning butter) it helps somewhat. In short, I give it a qualified recommendation if you have no other way of turning your contained compost pile.

Perfect for the enclosed compost bin,
By Jim (Houston, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yard Butler CA-36 Compost Aerator (Lawn & Patio)
This item came quickly and looks to be very well made. If you have a plastic compost bin, this is an must-have item. I've found that jabbing the tool into the compost a few times (without completely removing the tool from the compost prior to each jab) will get it to the bottom of the heap in no time. Then, rock it back and forth while pulling upward. The rocking action will cause the wings to deploy outward (I have no idea why this is) and also create a hole down through the pile. And that air hole should help accelerate the decaying process.

i've had my yard butler for about 1 month. i have one of those barrel type composters that's next to impossible to be able to turn over and aerate the contents, this item works well. the only wish i could have for it, is if the wings that open on it were a little bit longer, i have to stick it into the composter several times to really turn the stuff over. that said, i would still recommend it, it's a nifty tool that solved my problem. ed
