The Yard Butler Lawn Coring Aerator revitalizes old lawns while using less water and fertilizer.  By removing two plugs 3" inches long, this manual lawn plug aerator and dethacher reduces compaction and thatch to let air, water, and fertilizer down to the root zone.  At the same time it stimulates root growth by pruning‚ the roots.  As an added benefit, the removed cores deposit valuable micro-organisms on the lawn surface. This also strengthens drought and heat tolerance in your turf. The heavy duty powder coated steel handheld lawn corer is built for a lifetime of use.

I read several different reviews on this and saw where someone called customer service because it kept getting clogged. Customer service recommended dipping it in a bucket of water, along with clearing the blockage with a screw driver. This helped me immensely. I filled a bucket with water and every so often, would just dip in and swish it around. Also, if you don't COMPLETELY clear the blockage, dirt will keep getting stuck. We have clay like soil in some parts of yard and a severely compacted backyard. It was so compacted even my boyfriend was struggling to break the ground (even with watering it daily, days in advance) . Once we got the hang of this aerator, it was a breeze though and I was very happy with it. It was durable and made great plugs. Looking forward to seeing how it transforms our yard in the spring.
