Comments about Compost Aerator:
This is a great product idea. I finally figured out the best way to use it is to turn it into the pile instead of poking it in. Also, it does not get to the very bottom of the compost pile due to the height of the bottom blades. Still need my pitchfork to get to the bottom. It's compact to store and feel it is doing a great job.
Pros
- Attractive
- Easy Assembly
- Sifts Old From New

Comments about Compost Aerator:
The handle just doesn't hold up. I've had it replaced numerous times. The people at Gardener's have been just lovely about doing this.
Comments about Compost Aerator:
My adult son took a 3-week class on composting (I didn't know there could possibly be that much to learn about it!). Among the items he requested for his birthday was an aerator. I searched locally as well as on-line, and this one struck me as the very best. He is delighted with it. Thank you also for the prompt service. It arrived just in time.

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.

Comments about Compost Aerator:
My new composter is only about 1/3 full, but for that amount the aerator is fairly easy to use, even for a small elderly woman.
