Anyone got a petrol hollow tine aerator?

[PTR]

If so, fancy renting it to me for a day?

Just bought a strip of council land to turn into garden, and it could do with some tlc.

I've got an electric scarifier, but I'm betting the soil is all compacted to buggery. I know it doesn't drain well.....

Na, I haven't got one of those, but I do have a bowler hat with sleeves in it, if that's any help?

I've got got some lovely steel toecapped mittens that would go with that.

Removing soil where the ground is choked and compacted

vs
Removing the dead thatch that sits on top of the soil and prevents decent grass growing.

I need some kind of helicopter then, to get to France?

Give the hire shop at Herrington Burn a call. They might have one.

No I don't have one but I believe that children are the future and you should teach them right and let them lead the way.

Aye, hire shops have them. Was just thinking someone on here would prefer to make a few quid.

Just use a metal pole.

The bit I need to do is 70 square meters, plus all the existing lawn I have, so about the same again

Just been out scarifying a 4m by 25m strip at the side of the house. 4 passes, and I'm utterly knackered. Took over 4 hours. Now to start marking out the actual plot for the fencers.

I've earned my beers tonight (that I can't really have, cos I might have to drive to the hospital at any time now)
