You may find it worth doing a Google Groups search of this group,
using <lawn aerate> or something similar as search terms. I think,
subject to correction by others, the consensus seems to match my
opinion that it's probably a waste of money and effort. Worms do it
better than we can.
The recipe is probably feed, mosskiller, vigorous raking, don't cut
too short, maybe an annual gritty top-dressing.
Real drainage improvement is what farmers do if they have to, and
that's expensive. Because the water's got to go somewhere, you have
to have access to a ditch, too!
