ewest,
That's a good question, and one of the nagging worries that I have.
Aeration is not very common in my area, so I went into this project assuming I could get by without it. In fact, I don't even have electricity at my land. If I run into difficulties, I will first try a non-mechanical approach to remedy it. If it comes down to choices, I will probably aerate or circulate. Solar aeration is brutally expensive, but I think a solar circulation scheme would be simple and fairly cheap.
