How do I aerate my lawn?

Golf Shoe Aeration

If you have a pair of golf shoes, you can wear them as you work in the lawn. Golf shoes don't actually aerate the soil, but they do punch holes in the thatch layer, allowing greater movement of water, air, nutrients and pesticides. The holes also allow soil-dwelling microbes to propagate and get to the thatch, thus speeding breakdown and delivering more nutrients to the soil.
