Scotts EvenGreen Drop spreader, Grass and Lawn Seed Spreader, for Easy Application of Lawn Products and Grass Seed

Product Information

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. 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. The one I use personally at home is this EverGreen Easy Spreader Plus, which is perfect for smaller lawns like mine and is the one in the picture above.

A local farmer sometimes borrows it to apply fertiliser to a couple of acres he can’t get his tractor to.The spreader is designed around their own fertilisers and so it's easy for them to insure the amount spread is in the region of the setting they have. It’s also worth noting that the whole spreader stands upright whether it’s full or empty, so you can leave it standing on your workbench in-between uses. There’s a convenient on/off switch on the handlebar that allows you to stop and release when appropriate. All Scotts Lawn Builder and EverGreen bags carry the setting number for accurate application and best results. The 16kg lawn spreader comes with a three-year warranty which indicates that the quality of the model can be trusted.
