3.0 out of 5 stars Better than nothing for enclosed compost bins, August 4, 2007
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars it's decent, August 13, 2008
This review is from: Yard Butler CA-36 Compost Aerator (Lawn & Patio)
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

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it
The arms that are supposed to fall horizontal as you pull up stay stuck up, so it's basically a stick with a handle. Save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice compost aerator
I have a 4X4 foot compost bin. Turning with a shovel or pitch fork didn't mix as well as I liked. This aerator has been ideal. It's sturdy. Cleans up easily. I love it!
