Between the core and spike aerators, is one type better than the other?
Or easier to use? Or...

I'm trying to decide which kind to get.

Thanks,

Does anyone recommend a good brand ? We have bought Agri-fab (see link) and
they aerate fine but break easily. Mr. H broke one last year and totalled
another this year.

I was told the 'core' or 'plug' type creates more surface area for O2,
water, and fertilizer to penatrate the soil.

Just saying....

The core is more for a clay type of soil where the spike is for sandy soil.

Bullshit. Golf course greens are based upon sand, and core-aerated
regularly. You know something that Grounds Superintendants don't?
