Lawn Aerators are the tools which are specially
planned for Aerating lawn grass. Aeration is a process in which holes are
created in the soil in order to penetrate air, moisture and fertilizers easily.
This also helps in improving the growth of micro-fauna and micro-flora which
promote a green and lush garden.
If you have a lawn in front of your home, then it is
more important to make it appealing by aerating the soil. It doesn’t matter
here the quality of the soil. There are different types of lawn aerators such
as mechanical, electrical-powered, manual, liquid etc are available in the
market which you can choose as your convenience.
The selection of lawn aerators mainly depends on
type of the soil you have in your lawn. Sometimes there is clay soil which is
very compacted and allows less drainage while sandy soil is much loose and
hence requires less aeration. It is equally important to handle it with ease
and its cost of purchasing.
The spiked garden shoes are the simplest type of
aerators that has small spikes attached beneath the shoes. As you walk on the
soil, it gets spiked. This equipment is not very effective and is used for the
small lawn. But mostly people use it as it is very inexpensive and easy to use.
There are also other varieties of spiked aerators like spiked mowing wheels,
spiked hand tool, push spiked aerator and spiked rolling drum.
Liquid lawn aerators are another type of aerators
which helps in chemical aeration. The tool is attached to the hose and watered
down with water then sprayed on the lawn. These can be used effectively for
small lawns but for bigger ones a liquid aerator is used along with coring
equipment for best results.
Core lawn aerators are the powered aerators as it
pulls out the plugs out the cores of the soil. These are comparatively
expensive than other types of aerators. Hence it can be taken on rent once or
twice a year for the best results.
