This tool is useful for keeping loose compost aerated, but once a pile is compressed, you will need a pitchfork to open it up, because this tool cannot penetrate compressed compost.
Well made, but I ordered because of the offset handles, and the one I received had a single handle across the top. Would have liked the offset.
stabs well into the compost bin and with a few twists the wings open up giving the bin a good mix
I wish it was a bit longer though, I guess that's my fault for letting the compost pile up so high!
Might work well with light fluffy materials, but with denser matter I was only able to take slight advantage of the first set of wings. I've never been able to push (stab) the aerator in any further. And it requires a good hard stab.
Also, the second set of wings gets stuck in the folded position, so it doesn't grab onto anything.
For most composting applications, I recommend a crank twist type aerator.
The product is very solid and well designed. I watched the short video, but it doesn't show both the hand positions and the tool operation at the same time.
I'm sure it's a no-brainer, but I would like to know how to use it most efficiently.
