I agree with BL's review of June 26, 2008. The Yard Butler Spike Aerator #M-7C is solidly made. It came quickly from the BIC Superstore via Amazon and was packed carefully. It is useful for spot aeration. We also have just a few crabgrass plants each year, and we use the product to loosen the soil and then pull out the plant by hand.

I just used this after thatching my lawn of all the dead roots and grass. After cleaning the soil, I watered the lawn. Only then did I use this aerator. Very simple to use. Just put your foot inside and step on the ground, and put your weight on it. I walked around my lawn with this. It was not back breaking work.

It did not compact your soil as others have mentioned. If you watered the soil, and the soil is wet, it will put holes through the soil then pull up some soil. It loosened up my top soil. I then proceded to plant the grass seeds. After 1 week, grass has started growing and evenly too. My lawn is starting to look good, nice and green.

I highly recommend this. Actually, the reason I bought this is because my neighbor has one, and he used it on his lawn. His lawn looks great, so I just followed his lead.

My husband is the one that wanted to purchase this to use on our lawn. He states that it works great and would buy again if needed.

9.) Well built and works well too

This spike aerator is great for a small lawn. I would not recommend this if you have like an acre of land, but for a townhouse it's just the right size. I found that it works easily with even slightly dry soil, and in addition to working as aerator, it can also help break large clumps of soil, or remove weed by twisting the tool on the surface of the soil.

10.) Good tool for borders and corners

I bought the solid spike aerator as a tools to punch wholes in critical places of my yard, the borders and corners where you can't go with a power aerator. This tool is build in high quality and can help but it is going to be an extreme workout to aerate a whole yard of e.g. 2000 sft. In order to cover more space it supposed to have 6 spikes and a 2nd row with 5 spikes in alternating position.
This is a lawn workout tool for those who are riding a selfpropelled lawn mower all the time! You are going to loose weight and gain a good aeration of grass roots.

Good product, pleased with the purchase so far. Seems well-built, sturdy. Does what it is supposed to do. Because it just has 4 spikes, it will give you a workout if you do a large area. But good for small yards.

Excellent price, good results. Tines are a little small so it takes extra effort but it does the job.

14.) Spike broke off

When I first got this tool, I was very happy with it. It looked like it was very well made. But after only the second time using it, one of the spikes broke off. I would not recommend this tool, especially for large lawns.

15.) The wrong kind of aerator!
Reviewed by: constant reader Manassas VA USA

By using this tool you will be just compacting the soil more. You must use the type that actually removes a plug of soil, looks like goose poop, and allows air in the soil.
Check any university backed info on lawn aeration and see many professors backing this up. Don't buy this one.
