Tools and Hardware Reviews of Yard Butler CA-36 Compost Aerator
Customer Review: Weird little wings, great thrust
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with other reviewers (all of whom I read before ordering) about the wings not opening with regularity when plunging this tool into the compost pile.
That being said, this tool has great thrust, is easy for even my arthritic hands to use, and doesn't require a lot of upper-body strength to do a reasonable turning session of a single compost pile. I've taken the other reviewers suggestions to plunge it in at a slight angle then give it a twist to open the wings, before pulling it up. This seems to work well. This is also how I discovered that my beloved BioBag Food Waste Bio Bags, 3 Gallon 25 ea that I use for composting, are NOT degrading at all (as they came up impaled on the wings), so now I simply empty them into my bins, and throw the bags into the regular trash.
I'm hopeful that this tool speeds up the process of composting in my bins, especially now that the warmer weather is coming. I do love all of that glorious black soil!
Description of Yard Butler CA-36 Compost Aerator
Compost Aerator Decomposition Aide The decomposition occurring in the compost pile takes up all the available oxygen. Aeration is the replacement of oxygen to the center of the compost pile where it is lacking. Efficient decomposition can only occur if sufficient oxygen is present. Turning the compost pile is an effective means of adding oxygen and brings newly added material into contact with microbes. Unique design Helps aerate and circulate compost Extra durable, all steel construction Mixes compost without the use of a shovel Folding wings harpoon into the heart of the compost pile Ships Quickly!Categories Tools
