Many of the products mentioned in this video are those that you can find at virtually any local big box store and they tend to be cheaper there too. For some of the specialty products however those tend to be found only online.

I've provided links to many of those misc. products on my website but the two main one's that I think would benefit TTTF in the summer include the liquid aeration product from Chemwise and Hydretain. Affiliate links to those are listed below:

If you don't own a spreader I do fancy the battery powered 2-gallon spreaders from TurfKing but the inexpensive hose-end sprayers work pretty good too. For granular's the Scott's EdgeGuard is the one I use because it works just fine for regular people's yards and it has an edge guard without costing too much.

Links to these products can be found on my site on the fescue maintenance page: https://turfmechanic.com/turf-type-tall-fescue-maintenance/

For the core aeration the best aerator is probably the one you rent from a local tool rental shop. If you want to own something however many people like to pickup the super affordable corded aerator that SunJoe makes. Links to that and some alternatives can also be found on my site linked above.

I do however recommend most people to own a manual long-handled core aerator for regular use throughout the year. This tool will get stored right next to your garden rake and will be used periodically all the time if you are anything like me.

You might be able to find a good manual core aerator in a local store but I find the best deal is usually the budget offerings on Amazon. This Amazon affiliate like takes you to the one that I bought last winter which I've been happy with: https://www.amazon.com/Yard-Butler-Dethatching-Aeration-ID-6C/dp/B00EOMCJD6/?tag=turfmechanicyt-20
