The Parasene hollow tine aerator is something I have owned for a number of years now and is stored in my garage throughout the year apart from when in use. You could be forgiven for expecting an aerator to be of the traditional design which is a wheeled unit, but this aerator is very different. The first advantage of having this style and design of aerator is that you can target a particular area of your lawn, and apply pressure according to your preferences. You can vary the depth of aeration as and when you need to, and this appealed to me upon purchase.

I have found the aerator very effective, especially for deep aeration and on soil that a conventional wheeled areator may struggle. The tines are around 10cm long with the whole aerator measuring a width of 30cm. I would say the only thing that could possibly improve this piece of gardening equipment would be the handle. The top edge could have a rubber coating on it to help with grip and comfort, there could also be an adjustable height feature which would work similarly to that on a lawnmower. At the price of around £20-£25 I feel these features could have been included, and although I did pay this price i think it is a little on the expensive side considering what you are actually getting for your money.

The fact that this product is British made appeals to me very much so, and the 5 tines are still on very good nick considering their use. I would recommend this aerator for any keen gardener and if you suffer from standing pools of water then you could use this effective aerator and fill the voids with sand to aid drainage.
