KCT Rolling Lawn Aerator - Spike Roller Garden Manual Rolling Gardening Tool

Product Information

Lawn aerators improve the appearance of grass over time by penetrating the ground and allowing air and water deeper into the soil. As a result, the roots have better access to nutrients and fertilisers.

The size of these shoe attachments is fully adjustable thanks to the Velcro straps. They can be adjusted to fit both male and female shoe sizes, although your shoes underneath should be secured very tightly to prevent them from coming off.
