    Will I have to manually remove weeds from lawn?

    They'll fall to bits when you rake the lawn (e.g. to get it read for overseeding). If they don't fall to bits then rake it harder :heehee:

    Lawn Aerator - Which Is Better?

    I think if I left plugs of soil all over the lawn, the missus would be pretty displeased when lad and I come in the house with them stuck to our shoes and trail them all over.
