Liquid aerator

[neg213]

Anyone used a liquid aerator, and did it work?

It may seem a silly question but how do you use it, there seems to be a contradiction in the term "liquid aerator" as adding liquid to soil (wrong assumption?) would drive the oxygen out.
Hopefully the truth will be revealed.

I am also puzzled regarding a "liquid aerator" and agree that to aerate the soil is to allow air (oxygen and carbon dioxide) to enter, for example, using a spiked roller to aerate a lawn..I would also be most interested to know what a "liquid aerator" is..

I've read the postings referred to by chrisrob but still don't understand HOW the stuff works although it seems from some of the comments that it is absolute magic!!(yes I'm aware of the saying that if it works nothing else matters).
If it's lawn aeration you want, applications of sharp sand would do the trick looted in so that the grass shows through.
For growing beds, sharp sand is also good but you may want to add something a little organic.
