            A:  To aerate means to puncture holes in the soil. It would be extremely labor intensive but you could do it. You could not rake existing sod but could raise the rake up and down causing punctures in the soilbed. Once again very time consuming

                        A:  Welded. The tines move outward when pulled hard. Requiring a manual repair to straighten.

                                A:  Do you mean Forged or Cast? Not sure. The only part thats welded is where the set of tines meets the metal thats attatched to the handle.

                                  A:  The rake is forged. It's a really solid rake.
