They can still be relatively hard work to push, especially as they need to be driven into the ground. As mentioned above, putting weights on a spiked lawn aerator can help, but of course this will make it more taxing to push.

Aim for 10-15cm in depth for adequate aeration. If you’re using a spiked roller or aeration sandals, ensure that the entire spike sinks into the earth.

Aerating before and after seeding can also help the process along by creating a moist, protected environment for the little seedlings. Puddling and flooding is another problem to which you can bid farewell with aeration, as the action allows for much more drainage within your patch. Electric or petrol-powered aerators are the least physically demanding aerators. The motor will do the brunt of the work. However, they are generally more expensive, and require more maintenance, so they’re only worthwhile if you intend to aerate frequently over larger areas. One that’s pretty sensible is the BMC Lawn Aerator: BMC Lawn Aerator– worth a look if you’re interested in a spike roller Simply push the rolling aerator up and down your lawn in a similar pattern you would with a manual lawn mower, you won’t achieve as dense spikes as you would with aerator shoes but you can cover the lawn a second time if you want to be more thorough.
