An aerator cartridge that punches small holes across the lawn surface, opening a route for air, water and feed to reach the root zone. On compacted ground, and on any lawn that gets walked on regularly, this is what stops the grass from thinning out no matter how much you feed it.
Aeration is the job most people skip and then wonder why the lawn does not respond to anything else. It is worth doing once a year on a domestic lawn, more often on clay or on ground that takes heavy traffic. Run it when the soil is moist enough for the tines to penetrate but not so wet that the machine marks the surface, which in Kent usually means spring or early autumn rather than the middle of a dry summer.
Match the size to your machine. The 34in fits the Stadium 34 only and carries a 2-year professional warranty.
