Question

Do aerator shoes really work?

Do the aerator shoes that you use to aerate your lawn with really work to aerate your lawn with?

Answer 1

I tried the aerator shoes myself and although they do work a little bit they're not really effective since they only aerate a small area and not the whole lawn as good as a push behind aerator or garden tiller aerator attachment would.

To get the best results with aeration of your lawn you need to extract plugs of soil and the aerator shoes won't do that.
