Arriving almost fully assembled, you can have this lawn feed spreader out of the box and on your lawn in a matter of minutes. These are small gripes though, and I shouldn’t complain too much about something that costs under fifteen quid, and overall it is a good little spreader and certainly worth a look.Drop spreader allows for accurate application of granular products so you don;t put seeds or fertiliser where you don’t want them There also doesn’t seem to be that much difference between the four different spread settings. I mean, there is some difference, but not enough to make it really worth having it there in the first place. A hopper that’s too small will need frequent refilling so the job will take you a lot longer. If the capacity is too large, you’ll be pushing unnecessary excess weight. Follow the above practices with application of Aftercut All In One Autumn and the reduction of moss can be successfully achieved General Advice

Drop spreaders are best for lawns that contain lots of landscaping elements, such as flowers beds and narrow green strips, that need you to make tight turns. Handheld spreaders All the parts just push fit together the wheels push on easily, the handle and extensions are all riveted together and slot in. I would say pushing those bits all together took me less than two minutes quite honestly. Here’s a look at that: The rivets just snap together when assembling my lawn spreader Where Gardena has lived up to their name is with the overall build quality of this lawn feed spreader, which is excellent. Another use for this lawn compost spreader is to fill in uneven areas in your lawns before reseeding to make the lawn more level.

Working hard to make your lawn its best self includes having the right tools and equipment for each task. Spreading granular lawn care products on your lawn is best done with a lawn spreader. This piece of equipment is not expensive and it ensures even coverage of fertiliser and other care products, along with grass seeds. Not evenly covering your lawn can lead to patchy spots and, even worse, long term harm. If you’re investing time and effort for a verdant and vibrant lawn, let a lawn spreader help out. In terms of capacity I have laid in easily a good couple of kilo of seed, maybe even two! – reloading every few minutes doesn’t feel a burden at all when you’re covering so much ground: The majority of these machine come with instructions that recommend which of the variable settings should be used for different purposes. These generally include information about recommended walking pace to ensure good results. Of course, the correct setting will depend on a lot of different factors, including your stride length, so there will likely be a certain amount of trial-and-error when you first start using your spreader. In terms of price, this is a pretty expensive model. It certainly works well for spreading different lawn products, but it does have its flaws. Primarily: assembly is a real challenge. Putting the whole thing together can take upwards of an hour – a fact that is not helped, of course, by the inclusion of fairly ambiguous pictorial instructions.

Walking at a fairly spritely pace of 1 metre per second seems to be considered the optimal, so you can consider this your cardio workout for the day as well. The construction is a mix of metal and plastic, with plastic wheels and tank fixed onto metal handles. The handles can be folded down for storage purposes but unfortunately, the height of them can’t be adjusted. Having said that, they come up about a metre tall, so it’s not like they are overly short to begin with. However, what this ultimately means is that there are plenty of settings to choose from – you just need to get the hang of them, There are various apertures as well as a wide spreading width that’s adjustable between 1.2 m and 3.4 m. Solo 421 9kg Manual Spreader– A unique hand spreader that you wear. I use this for applying fertiliser on uneven ground. These kinds of spreaders will automatically throw out and granular feed as you push the tool along across your lawn, and will increase the width of this the faster you walk. At an average pace, the spreading width is around 150-180cm, but it can be as much as 340cm with a little effort.So test test I have taken into consideration a few important elements. How much material can be held, how well the spreader distributes seed and fertiliser, price, durability, and hopper capacity. I start with grass seed on a lawn that was hand seeded and ended up patchy – without question, when factoring the method I have used to test these lawn spreaders, for a little garden like mine, EverGreen Easy Spreader Plus came out on top – even a child could successfully spread seed with this spreader it was that easy. And setup was a doddle too. Here’s a couple of pictures of the spreader in use: My daughter helping me test the lawn spreaders

The manual that comes with this spreader isn’t the best quality but it does give you the best settings to use for various products, which is very helpful if this is your first lawn feed spreader. At first glance, this spreader looks just like any other, featuring a long spreading mechanism. However, there are a few things that set it apart from many other models. First of all, this unit features soft rubberised wheels that make the unit easy to move and will not harm your lawn, along with a double push-bar that contributes to more comfortable work while providing you with a firm grip. The capacity of a lawn spreader relates to how much granular product – whether grass seed, fertilizer, or salt – the hopper holds at one time. For this product, it’s usually given in kilograms (kg), and the higher the number, the less often you have to stop your task and refill. Of course, the more product you put in, the heavier the spreader is to push.It is important to feed your lawn in autumn with Aftercut All In One Autumn as the iron will kill the moss on your lawn, creating less competition and a healthier, stronger lawn to withstand winter stress conditions. The Potassium helps to move the energy to the roots for essential storage over the winter months and the right amount of Nitrogen will green up your lawn whilst avoiding excessive growth prior to winter. I think the plastic wheels do a good job of keeping the lawn feed spreader rolling along. I would have preferred to see pneumatic wheels but I know that that would have almost certainly increased the price, so I get why Scotts chose what they did.
