Aeration Corer Collector Tool for Lawn Care

This aeration corer collector is a hollow-tine aerating fork made from high-quality steel strip. It is a very sturdy, effective tool used by professional greenkeepers on golf courses and by amateur gardeners for aerating lawns. It comes as standard with five interchangeable hollow tines, and its solid collection box catches the cores as they are cut, so there is no need to pick them up by hand or sweep them off the lawn.

Key Features

• Collection box design: catches all cores and debris
• Five replaceable tines: simple to maintain for a long service life
• Professional construction: made from high-quality steel strip for regular use
• Clean operation: leaves no mess to clear up
• Can be taken apart: allows tines to be replaced or removed

Benefits of Aeration

• Improves water absorption
• Helps the soil temperature rise quickly
• Increases the pore volume of the soil
• Better air exchange, which encourages growth

When soil becomes heavily compacted, rainwater cannot soak into the ground. It collects on the surface and forms pools, which can damage the grass. Keeping the soil pores open by aerating greatly improves nutrient uptake and the circulation of water and air that lawn grasses rely on. Regular, seasonal aeration has a major effect on the healthy development, resilience and quality of a lawn.

How to Use

Preparing the ground

• Mow the grass very short before use
• Clear thatch, moss and dead vegetation
• Remove any stones or small objects
• Use a scarifier or rake first to remove surface metals

Ground conditions

• On hard or dry ground, water first and leave for a few hours until the soil is soft but not wet
• Do not use in very wet or sticky conditions
• Slightly damp ground gives the best penetration
• Extremely hard ground may need a sand top dressing

Maintenance

• Keep the inside of the tines clean at all times
• Use a pipe cleaner and cooking oil to keep the hollow tines clean and lubricated
• Clean the inside of the tines after every use
• Any build-up will stop the tool working properly
