Handy Hollow Tine Aerator
This is the Handy Hollow Tine Aeraor. Hollow tine aeration is the process of punching small holes into the bed of the lawn and then pulling large cigar shaped cores of soil from your lawn. Featuring five hollow tines, foldable handles and collection dish for lugs, this simple but effective device offers great value. The tines are sprung to help with the removal of the aerator from the ground.
Lawn-enthusiasts looking for a simple and cost-effective way to relieve soil-compaction should check-out this straightforward manual hollow-tine aerator from Handy! It removes five soil-cores in one action, with the plugs being deposited in a convenient collection-tray. Weighs 3kg.
The Handy THHTA Aerator provides long-lasting aeration, relieves compacted soil and revives hard, dry lawn-areas.
Its five hollow tines remove soil-cores down to a depth of 50mm, enabling water, air and nutrients to better access the root network so as to encourage lush, healthy growth.
In addition, it will minimise moss proliferation and allow any fertiliser or dressing you apply to work more effectively.
It's of all-steel construction, so it will prove strong and durable; and it's equipped with a collection tray that means your lawn won't be strewn with soil-plugs when you've finished aerating.
Also featured is a tread-plate that makes it easy to dig-in the tines; and a fold-away handlebar for compact storage.
This model has a 20cm working-width and weighs just 3kg.

The hollow times generally don't discharge the cores despite the springs so they need to be manually cleaned every time making it very laborious and time consuming to the extent it's not worth the effort. It was taking at least 20mins to tine 1m2.
