Anyone who does gardening and landscaping understand just how important it is to have just the right tools to make your gardening easier and more successful. Hound Dog products offer gardeners a vast variety of tools to work with, one in particular, the HDP 3-8 Turf Hound Aerator is popular among many different kinds of gardeners.
The HDP 3-8 Turf Hound Aerator lets you grow a thicker and much healthier lawn. It will remove four inch plugs from your ground and then this will allow the water as well as your fertilizer to flow much better. It is made of durable steel and is rust proof so it will last the gardener a very long time. It has a U shaped handle that is easy to hold onto and also has a relatively large area for the gardeners foot to make it easy for stepping on when using it. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, limited.
You can use your HDP 3-8 Turf Hound Aerator to make more room for the roots of your lawn so the grass will grow thicker and be much healthier. It will help to loosen up all that compacted dirt and break down any thatch as well. This is a popular item that may different golf courses use to get those beautiful greens you see if you go out golfing.
Most of those who have used the product, do enjoy using it but, they have a few pointers to pass along to others. Some customers have noticed that the HDP 3-8 Turf Hound Aerator works a lot better when the soil is a little moist and not completely dry. You also do not want to use it in really wet soil. Another piece of advice is to make sure that when you step on the tool, you do so by stepping on the middle of its crossbar so the tubes used for cutting are perpendicular to the soil for evener holes and this will mean less bending over and less clogging of the aerator tubes.
If you are person that has a clay soil or even semi-clay soil, some customers have indicated that you may not be able to use this tool as well as on other types of soil. However, if you do decide to buy it and find out you have a clay soil, you should make sure to stay away from using water because this is only going to make the soil sticky as well as slimy. So, it is best to just use the tool in the clay soil as it is.
When it comes to price, ranging about $30 it is probably a little bit more expensive than some of the other aerators on the market, that range from $22 to $24 but it probably is worth it for those who are looking for more comfort when aerating their lawns.
