Soil compaction naturally occurs over time or through excessive use. Compaction limits the movement of water through the soil that diminishes the ability of the grass roots to grow and creates a lack of oxygen in the ground. Grass with poor root growth is more susceptible to damage during dry periods and, as with thatch accumulation, an increased risk of disease. Featuring 5 hollow tines, the Handy Hollow Tine Aerator effortlessly punctures the bed of the lawn, removing large cigar-shaped cores of soil. The resultant gaps in the lawn bed help to loosen up the soil, thus improving drainage and the infiltration of water, air and nutrients into the ground.
