Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Is Your Lawn Gasping For Air?The Yard Butler Spike Aerator has sharp spikes that slip into the ground to loosen the soil, and a smooth, strong "powder coated" resin finish that resists rusting . Old lawns and lawns where a lot of activity takes place become compacted. Also thatch from dead leaves builds up creating a barrier, keeping water and air from reaching the roots. The symptoms are thin turf with poor color and bare patches that don't respond to watering and fertilizer.

Product Description

4 3/8'' diameter spikes penetrate, loosen, and perforate the ground. Lets air, water, and fertilizer to the roots. Made of structural steel rod. 40'' overall length. Handle is vinyl gripped.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well built and works well too, June 26, 2008

This spike aerator is great for a small lawn. I would not recommend this if you have like an acre of land, but for a townhouse it's just the right size. I found that it works easily with even slightly dry soil, and in addition to working as aerator, it can also help break large clumps of soil, or remove weed by twisting the tool on the surface of the soil.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good tool for borders and corners, May 14, 2009

I bought the solid spike aerator as a tools to punch wholes in critical places of my yard, the borders and corners where you can't go with a power aerator. This tool is build in high quality and can help but it is going to be an extreme workout to aerate a whole yard of e.g. 2000 sft. In order to cover more space it supposed to have 6 spikes and a 2nd row with 5 spikes in alternating position.
This is a lawn workout tool for those who are riding a selfpropelled lawn mower all the time! You are going to loose weight and gain a good aeration of grass roots.

I agree with BL's review of June 26, 2008. The Yard Butler Spike Aerator #M-7C is solidly made. It came quickly from the BIC Superstore via Amazon and was packed carefully. It is useful for spot aeration. We also have just a few crabgrass plants each year, and we use the product to loosen the soil and then pull out the plant by hand. Yard Butler Lawn Spike Aerator #M-7C
