Miracle-Gro Lawn Seed Drop Spreader

Product Information

However, this Walensee 24-inch Compost Spreader is probably the best, although slightly more expensive than some other alternatives. While they do tend to throw seeds/fertiliser granules in all directions, they’re great for filling in damaged small gaps in your lawn or getting into tight areas where your larger spreader can’t reach. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. Use the durable Miracle-Gro drop spreader to make feeding Miracle-Gro EverGreen granular lawn fertiliser treatments or grass seed really easy. If not, there is the chance of under-application and, even worse, over-application, which can lead to burning and damage to the grass.

For larger lawns, orchards, and paddocks, consider using a Scotts EasyGreen rotary spreader for accurate, even feeding over a wider area. Welcome to my site, my name is John and I have been lucky enough to work in horticultural nurseries for over 15 years in the UK. It is the best choice for even results, especially when applying a lawn treatment that contains weed killers or moss control agents. However, with the Walensee 24-inch Compost Spreader, I can apply a thin layer of compost or top dressing in minutes, and it’s evenly applied. The Agri-Fab 45-0462 Push-Type Smartspreader is perfect for people with large lawns or those working at a professional level.The adjustable handlebar is a plus point so you don’t have to hunch over or stretch up when you’re pushing this spreader.

EverGreen Easy Spreader Plus– BEST PICK – This is personally tested and is a great affordable drop-style spreader for small lawns. Grass is the centrepiece of any garden but in amongst continuous watering and cutting, a lawn care routine can feel like a laborious task.They can be used for a range of lawn care tasks such as; seeding a new area of the lawn, feeding/fertilising your lawn as well as treating moss and killing weeds. However, this Walensee 24-inch Compost Spreader has a steel brace bar on either side as shown in the picture above of the main shaft for extra strength. Whether you are spreading Scotts Lawn products, Evergreen or Micro-Granular grass seeds, this model will ensure even distribution of the products.

Many lawn care products will come in containers with lawn spreader spouts attached, simply fold out the spout and walk up and down the lawn.Overall the quality is good although the little yellow handle to choose the application rate is a little flimsy, I have not had any issues though. The handy built-in stand means you can stop at the end of the lawn, allowing for precise control of feed distribution. Wear protective equipment, especially if it’s a windy day, as lawn care products usually contain chemicals and some are caustic. Once you have done a straight run, put the lever back to 0 straight away to close the hopper to avoid over-application. A3: After each use, pour any leftover product back into the original packaging and wash the spreader thoroughly over the lawn to remove all product clinging to the spreader, particularly around the axle.

The double push bar allows you to guide this spreader easily and safely around your lawn while the large tires of 20cm diameter ensure you can manoeuvre anywhere. I do this as it helps keep the grass seed moist, which helps promote germination and protect it from the birds. As you walk, let the feed flow freely, only stopping and closing off the level when you reach the end point of your lawn. The Scotts EasyGreen Rotary Spreader is designed to spread lawn products effectively and efficiently.There are many types of adjustable lawn spreaders on the market, and they range from the more basic drop spreader with a low number of settings, to the more professional style drop and rotary spreaders with a wide selection of settings. However, I like to use mixes that are not bulky and full of large pieces of bark, which is why top dressing, topsoil, or quality compost is perfect.
