Slit Aerators – Tried & Tested

Slit aerating can improve soil structure by helping to alleviate surface compaction and increase the air in the top soil. When choosing a machine it is important to know what you want from it as there are significant differences between the machines on the market. See the Tried & Tested report for the results.
This report was published in 2008 with comparisons of machines available at the time. Some of these machines may have been updated or no longer available but the principles of slit aerating are still very applicable to current practices.
