Customer Reviews
Better than nothing for enclosed compost bins
The best way to turn a compost heap is to get a garden fork and just go to town, but if you have those closed plastic bins (like I do now), that's not a viable option.
That's why I bought this compost tool and it's better than nothing since at least it helps move the compost around. However, it's not easy to push the tool down into the heap and half the time, the tines don't open up when you pull it back up. The tines are also quite short, so they don't catch much when they do open.
Still, I haven't found a better alternative and if you use a up and down motion (rather like churning butter) it helps somewhat.
In short, I give it a qualified recommendation if you have no other way of turning your contained compost pile.

CA 36 compost aerator
I am a disabled veteran and have always had trouble turning my compost. This tool has made the chore a joy! It is so simple to use, is effective, and has greatly enhanced my gardening experience. Using this tool allows me to make compost much more quickly and is no longer a strain on my back. Thank you for a wonderful product without which I most certainly would have stopped making compost.
