Breathe New Life Into Your Compost Pile

  • Aerates compost materials for faster decomposition
  • Simple, effective and easy to use
  • Padded handles provide comfort and leverage

You won't find a better-designed compost aerator anywhere. It has not one, but two sets of "wings" that fold back to plunge deep into the pile, then open to create new air passages. A must-have accessory for any composter.

  • 8" wide x 36" long
  • Durable steel construction
  • For left- or right-handed use
  • Minor assembly required
  • Allen wrench included

    Well another product does not appeal to me. Just another product does not work for me. I have garden claw work better than 4 flimsy wings. Hope Garden Supply tested these products before they sell it.

          When our old aerator broke, we replaced it with this. We couldn't believe how much better it worked, mixing up the whole container not just the top few inches.

            The principle is good, but the wings do stick sometimes. My spade does as good or better.

              Comments about Compost Aerator:

              I keep this next ot my composter in the yard and each time I dump kitchen waste or yard waste into my composter, I use this to mix up the new and old. It easily brings up the compost from the bottom to the top and makes a nice hole for the newly added to mix in.

                  Comments about Compost Aerator:

                  I use this with a small compost bin(Earth Machine) and I can turn the compost with this tool. You can assemble the handles for right or left handed. The handles at right angles make it possible for me - female, over 50 to turn the compost.
