There are many methods to aerate your lawn. In this article, we will explain how to properly use lawn aerator shoes for aerating your lawn.
Lawn Aerator Shoes
Before you start aerating your lawn, preparation of your lawn involving a few simple steps is important. These will help make the whole process easier and effective as much as possible.
How to Use
The first step is to nicely mow your lawn one day before you have planned for the aeration. Then clear all the dirt and debris from the lawn surface. Cleaning of the lawn is very important as aerator shoes cannot be properly used on lawns with dirt or accumulated leaves and may not give the desired results.
After this, water the grass and make it wet if the soil is in a dry condition. If your lawn has got a rain shower then there is no need to water it. Loosen/wet soil is perfect and easier to aerate helping in maximum output from the process.
Assembling
Now it's time to assemble the aerator shoes. Aerator shoes are used as a tool for lawn care and maintenance. The setting up of aerator shoes is quick and easy.
You can start by placing the nails available in the shoe pack below the shoes one at a time. Secure every nail in the hole with a nut, and tighten it with a wrench that is also provided with the aerator shoe pack. Always check that all the nails and nuts are completely tightened before using them every time because the nails may loosen up after intense use. There may be some extra nuts and nails in the pack to cater for any damaged or de-shaped nails.
If you look at the shoe straps of the aerator shoe, they are provided in three different sizes for the convenience of the users and properly tightening it around your shoes.
