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

      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.

        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.

                Used to stir the compost, IE: bringing the lower level to the top and the top level to the bottom, for faster decomposition.

                The Compost Aerator does that which it suppose to.

                    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.
