My plan is to hire a scarifier first thing tomorrow morning, scarifiy the lawn and then return the scarifier. I will then rake up all of the debris and return to the hire shop to get a hollow tine aerator. The soil plugs will be raked up and then sharp sand raked into the holes.

1)Is it alright to scarify when the ground is so dry?
2)Will the engine powered hollow tine aerator work effectively when the soil is dry? Here's the aerator in question http://www.husqvarna.ie/node1556.aspx?pid=1100
