In the quest for the perfect lawn, Australian gardeners are no strangers to innovation and resourcefulness.

But even the most seasoned green thumbs among us might be surprised by the latest gardening trick taking the internet by storm.

It's a method that's not only ingenious but also adds a touch of glamour to the otherwise mundane task of lawn maintenance.

A woman's unconventional approach to achieving a lush, green lawn has captured the attention and admiration of Aussies nationwide.

Her secret? A pair of high heels. That's right, this savvy gardener has been strutting across her lawn in stilettos, using the sharp heels to aerate the soil beneath her feet.

The video of her in action, beer in hand, confidently piercing the ground with her pointed heels, has gone viral, leaving thousands of viewers amused and impressed.

'What the f**ck are you doing?' a voice in the background asks, to which she coolly responds, 'aerating the grass.'

Her casual remark and the methodical way she worked around the yard have sparked a wave of interest.

Steven, a horticulturist from Zani's Gardening, spoke about the technique.

While he admitted he'd never heard of such a practice before, he couldn't deny its potential benefits.

'It would aerate the soil and potentially spread grass seeds to other garden areas,' he observed.

'You know, I actually think she might be onto something.'

The backstory to this 'high-heeled horticulture' is as practical as it is peculiar.

The woman had parked a small boat on her lawn for over a year, affecting the grass's health.

In a stroke of creativity, she donned her least favourite pair of heels and set to work.

The result? Aeration is vital for a healthy lawn as it allows roots to breathe, absorb nutrients, and soak up water, leading to more profound growth and a more vigorous turf.

The response from the online community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many applauding her for the innovative trick.

Comments ranged from calling her 'awesome' to sharing stories of others who had discovered this trick decades ago.

One user recounted how their 70-year-old neighbour, as a child, would buy heels from thrift shops to aerate their lawn.

And the best part? The high-heel trick is working. The woman shared an update showing new patches of grass sprouting after just a few days.

'I went away for a day, two days, that's new, that's new, look!' she said, once again donning her trusty heels.

So, next time you're eyeing those old heels at the back of your closet, consider giving them a second life in the garden.

You might be the next viral sensation while giving your lawn the breath of fresh air it needs.

I think I would still fall over while wearing high heels. So there would be big divets in the lawn and no aeration

Me too! When I try to wear heels, I walk like Dustin Hoffman in the movie "Tootsie"!
