The local squirrels are busy searching for the last of their acorn
stash and the Robins have returned to torment the worms. I'm thinking
this is enough action to keep the lawn aerated.

Why would you want to aerate the lawn anyway? I see so many posts
asking
about fertilizing or watering or aerating or other ways to help the
grass
grow faster, be greener, etc. NONE of these suggestions are frugal in
any
manner.
Not in terms of time or money. Don't do anything to the lawn but
cut it. If you try to help it grow faster, you will be cutting it more
often.

I don't understand why you apparently have a lawn and lawn mower - not
frugal at all. For instance, in New England, the climax environment would
be deciduous forest, on the great plains, it would be tall prarie grass. If
you stopped cutting the grass, whatever your local climax environment is
would eventually take over your lot and require no work or money at all.

Maybe a lawn isn't frugal. Over the last few years, people have posted here
putting the same "not frugal" label on things like owning a TV or a car,
having kids, getting married, buying a house, renting an apartment, just to
name a few.

Nonetheless, some people persist in these behaviors, and it's not
unreasonable for them to seek advice on the most cost-effective way of going
about them.
