Lee Valley Compost Aerating Tool

This long-handled aerator is used to mix and aerate compost.

Unlike many aerators, it has wings that fold flat against the shaft for easy insertion, but unfold when it is pulled out again, providing a lifting and stirring action.

The resultant mixing in of air and exposure of material to the surface assists oxidation, speeds decomposition, and helps to eliminate odors caused by anaerobic micro-organisms.

36″ long.
