Compost Aerator

Description:

If you find turning the compost heap or the contents of the compost bin back-breaking work then the Compost Aerator could come in useful. The more often the compost heap is turned, well mixed and aerated the quicker it breaks down into nutrient rich material that can be returned to the ground, but using a garden fork for the job is not usually the best way.

Designed for the purpose, simple and effective to use, the aerator is plunged into the compost to penetrate quickly as the blades at the base are hinged to fold back, but when lifted out they grip and pull up the compost.

It is also an easy way to check that the compost process is working without having to empty the bin so that an accelerator can be added if it is too slow, or water if it is too dry.
