I use that same aerator here in Tassie, Australia on a 300 sqm yard. Been using it for years and it's the most sold manual aerator in the world! Anyway, you were using it wrong. Place your foot on the TOP angle and press down. Then the core would come out.

I find it works perfectly well and has the added bonus of being really cheap and accessible! Thanks for the advice! I usually do it that way and have the cores come out - obviously not concentrating this time 🤣

That aerator is not fun nor easy and is cheap and it compresses. Use a real one that gets plugs out.

It is definitely at the lower end of the budget but does a job comparable to its cost. I much prefer a hollow tine machine - but some of our customers just need other options! What have you got? Do you have another version of a manual aerator? It does remove decent cores if you get the ground in the right conditions, the cores are testament to that

@@MowdLtd nope there is no other manual way. I use a machine. You can rent or have a local guy come do it. I’m glad you touched up on this. You could get a single core which I think they call a sampler. I think that would work better for cores. These would work if they made them out of stainless steel and had a sharp edge on them. Most of the time these foot ones are not a big enough diameter in the holes or sharp. Most times it doesn’t work is all. Compacted ground is never brought up at all. Also a good test of your soil so you could add the proper amounts of amendments to your yard. Grass will be growing so much you’ll want to take it out. lol

Machines are the best way for sure (more satisfying too - boys and their toys!). I usually rent mine - in fact tis year a few of us on the same street are splitting the cost of it, great way to do it, and the hire company are delivering it too! This is just an option for those who don't have the time/inclination/budget for the hollow tine aerator - I also think there's a place for solid tine aeration too - but that will be another video! But i will admit, this tool was ok in my opinion, it produced lots of cores, albeit not as wide as a machine!
