Product Information

So, what are the negatives? Well, I can only really find one, but it might be enough to put some people off. To keep a lawn tip top you need the right lawn spreader. You’ve got to prep the soil, keep on top of lawn aeration for which we can use a decent scarifier or raker these days, you need to get rid of any unwanted weeds with a weed killer if you prefer (preferably a weed killer that is tested on pets), before they become a problem, and many more tasks just to have a chance at that dream patch of grass. 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. 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

However, don’t let those little things put you off, as this is a great little drop spreader and priced very reasonably. Sophisticated dispensing mechanism with adjustable settings to drop just the right amount for your task and lawn situation.

Rotary SpreadersHowever, this article gives you recommended settings for many of our products depending on which spreader you’re using. If yours isn’t listed or the suggested settings don’t match your spreader , then please let us know using the comments below. I’ll be happy to help in any way I can. Just in front of the wide, rubber gripped, handles there is a good-sized, and clearly marked spread rate adjustment lever. This too is made of strong steel, but with a plastic grip for comfort, and is highly unlikely to become damaged or worn any time soon. This is a simple but clever design feature, and the type of thing I like to see product makers trying out instead of just making carbon copies of other top-selling models.

As for its compatibility with the lawn size, a small lawn is perfect to be benefited with this spreader. As it is small and operated manually, it won’t perform well in medium or big lawns.As you can imagine, there’s a bit of a workout involved in pushing this fertiliser spreader around, especially when it’s full; the unit alone weighs 12.3 kg. However, it’s a great option for gardeners who don’t want to keep stopping and starting to top up the spreader. Scotts spreaders have several unique settings and these setting numbers are particularly used for the specific lawn care products. One of them is the 10-10-10 fertilizer which is considered the best solution to lawn problems. Specification: Spreading width: 1-4 metres , Capacity: 1.8 liters , Recommended lawn area: up to around 100 m² , When to use: year-round use

The Handy 50lb Wheeled Lawn and Fertiliser Spreader– Professionals choice and designed for commercial / heavy duty work 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.Generally speaking, it’s not as hard to push a broadcast spreader as a drop spreader. The speed of distribution is determined by your pace. Of course, the downside to any battery-powered tool is that the battery will eventually run out, but these days it is not as bad as it once was, with even the smallest 1.5Ah Li-ion batteries giving you a good couple of hours of usage on a single charge. You just can’t go wrong really – There’s no way you can justify the extra of the Scotts when you compare the price and how much you’ll use it, unless it’s for commercial purposes. Then read on to the Scotts lawn spreader as I compare and test them. The main thing to watch out for are corners – it can be easy to accidentally distribute too much product. The drop spreader is not easy to ‘turn off’ at a corner because the aperture only closes when the yellow indicator is pointing to ‘0’. This is difficult to change whilst in the middle of distributing product.
