  • Very Impressed
Style: Coring Aerator
I've used it several times in the past 6 weeks. I get my entire lawn core aerated annually by a gas powered machine, but I bought this for the following uses: * The soil gets compacted at the gate from the front yard to the back yard. It's a funnel so all of the traffic goes in a narrow area, and it especially gets compacted when I have a big garden project that requires wheel barrows. I used it here when it first arrived and it did great, and then used it again after a big gardening project. * I have St Augustine grass so in the fall there are a few areas that get brown patch. This year, on those 3 spots I used the aerator and then top dressed with leaf mold compost prior to brown patch season. Should prevent the brown patch and help get some organic matter into the soil. * The darn cinch bugs killed a couple spots in lawn along the sidewalk. After killing off the cinch bugs, I used the aerator in the dead grass and top dressed with leaf mold compost. The core aeration will help get some organic matter into the soil while the St. Augustine grass fills in the compost. Positives: * It produces nice sized cores both in terms of depth and diameter. * It's very simple to use. It's mindless work and one of the few times being overweight pays off. * It's very sturdy and well constructed. Feels like something that will last many, many years. Negatives: * It's a lot of work so best for small areas. Rent a gas powered core aerator to do entire lawn or hire a contractor. * The last core stays in the tool so you need to push it out with a screwdriver at the end of the project. ... show more

  • Not hard to use
Style: Coring Aerator
Great for small yards or spot work. Use after it has rained and boots may be needed. Did a great job on my clay soil.

  • Sturdy construction but blades get easily jammed with compost.
Style: Compost Aerator
This device is simple, sturdy, and works effectively when the blades deploy properly. BUT they tend to get plugged by compost when repeatedly plunged in and out of the compost pile. They can easily be cleared for continued use, but it does slow the process down. They do a very good job of mixing the compost pile. ... show more

  • πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ super easy, sturdy, and for those who said..
Style: Coring Aerator
The media could not be loaded. ..its hard to get cores out.. each pass, IT PUSHES PREVIOUS CORES OUT... So worth it!..we've paid 3x as much for some jerk to do a lousy quick pass with a machine that actually further compacts lawn!.. Took me maybe 30 min to do 1/3 of our big side of lawn ( we are on 1/3 acre w landscaping etc).. I went out after rain and it was easy peasy, kihda relaxing.. would be great job for kids too..and cant lie about it bc you see the cores all over... We have hard clay and rocks everywhere .. Which makes this better too than a machine which just goes where it goes. .if i hit a rock, i take the time to move over a bit... As far as wiggling it..resist the urge bc that compacts the wiggled soil.. ( also why you never use prong type aerators) Whats also cool is that you dont hafta get too close together bc since you'll own this instead of doing every 2 or 3 yrs, youll likely do it spring and fall.. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸŒœπŸŒ› ... show more

  • an excellent alternative to an expensive lawn service
Style: Coring Aerator
I purchased this with the expectation it wouldn't work and I'd need to hire a professional with a gas powered aerator. I waited until we got a decent rain and then I gave it a shot. In the parts of the yard that got a good deep soaking I got nice long plugs. In the drier areas I only got about 1-2 inch plugs. I bought a metal spike to clear the cores but I never needed it. I have pretty heavy clay soil so I was supposed that it didn't bind up. I think the best advice I can give for this tool is to wait until it rains enough to really soak the soil. I also tried not to force this tool into the soil. If it felt too hard I just moved over a few inches and tried again. The metal cores are sharp and the end and the step in after a couple inches to help prevent clogging. The design works very well. My yard is reasonably small so it only took me 30 minutes to do the whole thing. If you have a large yard I'd plan to use this for a spot treatment or to hire a service. So far my lawn is looking healthy and the old cores have almost completely broken down. I'll probably plan to do this once in the fall and once in the spring. Update: the first season I used this aerator it worked perfectly. The next two seasons it has been far less effective. I've waited for a deep rain each time I've tried to use it but now mud is packed into the cores. I've used a metal spike to clear the packed clay but usually I get only one or two steps before it's clogged again. It's ended up serving more as a spike aerator but that doesn't help with the compaction in my lawn. Perhaps the cores need to be larger but regardless, I've been less impressed with this aerator lately. ... show more

  • Great addition to my composting journey
Style: Compost Aerator
I have an Earth Machine compost bin I got from my county and it's great but I needed something to help me turn it and mix it. I looked at the (not correct term, but) ones that curve at the bottom, but worried that they would bend or break. Found the Yard Butler stick with wings and it works great! It was easy to push to the bottom of an 80 gal bin and I pulled up sticks that I had placed in the bottom when initially put it together. My current temp here is about 30F degrees. And everything is frozen, however I had no problem getting the YB down deep into my compost bin. I was able to stir the compost, bring up stuff from the bottom, mix in stuff from the top (i.e. carbon I had added). I was amazed. Sometimes the wings don't open or 1 wing doesn't open - but that's usually stuff that's really compacted and wet, so to me it's not a big deal, it's not like the wings won't open or get stuck closed. I am able to mix everything up really well. I can't wait for it to get warmer and see how it does over the summer. ... show more
