how does a lawn aerator work
Aerators breaks up thatch and loosens the soil to allow the roots to spread out and water to drain properly. There are two basic types of lawn aerators: core and spike. Core aerators actually scoop tiny plugs of lawn out as they go, creating gaps in the soil.Spike aerators shove spikes into the soil, creating holes.here are also aerator attachments that can be dragged behind lawnmowers, and work in the same way. One more novel approach is aerator spike shoes. These shoes, looking like a more menacing version of soccer cleats, make holes in the lawn as the wearer walks.
