yet another "toy" for the garden

Found this little gadget on the internet for spiking the lawn.
Pictures show protective caps over the spikes

Unless it weighs about 2 tonnes it would have no effect on my lawn

That looks a very useful gadget. Our grass is too far gone for it to be of any use here.

Re: yet another "toy" for the garden

I reckon that's more likely to roll over the grass than spike it. You cant beat a garden fork pushed in to its full depth and then rocked back and forth. Very time consuming but effective.

Tried out that spike thing and it works. Bit hard to cover a lot of ground so done the worst 3/4 of the lawn. Now have to wait and see.

RS you'd have to use a machine like that for a garden your size! Glad it works
