Easy application of granular lawn products and takes minimal effort to keep your lawn lush and healthy. So now for the bit that really matters, how easy is it to use and is it accurate.

Medium-sized lawn areas. Always use a spreader for an even and easy application of granular lawn seed and lawn care products. When to use A drop spreader design is usually a trough mounted on wheels that drops seeds as you walk in a straight line. These models are usually best for smaller lawns of up to 465m 2. Simply adjust the setting according to the product you are using (see our spreader settings table) and away you go. There’s an on/off grip handle so starting and stopping the application of the granules is easy and accurate when you get to the end of a strip.

However, 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. Walk up and down the lawn, The Miracle-Gro® Drop Spreader creates a strip of granules directly below the moving spreader which is approximately 45cm (18in) wide. When returning, align the arrow on the hopper above the tyre marks made in the previous strip. 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. All lawn spreaders handle grass seed and granular lawn fertilisers. However, some can also spread winter salt, sand or grit for melting the snow, powdered lime and compost. If having a all-season spreader piques your interest, read carefully to see if your chosen spreader is indeed multi-functional.

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.

To ensure perfect results on your lawn, it is essential that granular lawn care products are applied evenly and accurately over the whole lawn. If not, there is the chance of under-application and, even worse, over-application, which can lead to burning and damage to the grass. Wear protective equipment, especially if it’s a windy day, as lawn care products usually contain chemicals and some are caustic. Always remember to close the spreader opening (the brightly coloured lever or the off switch on the handlebar) when you turn corners or stop. You’re working hard otherwise to not create a build-up of product on the grass.

It comes with a spreading width of over three metres and is suitable for areas up to 2,300m 2 The spreader rests on 25cm air tires that have good traction and don’t leave imprints on the lawn. I like that all the controls are on the handle of the spreader attached to the cable. You open and close the spreading disc from there. You can also select how much area the spreader covers, but you need to manually adjust the cover plate for that. But this feature lets you spread close to the edges of the lawn and is super handy. What I like is that you can close the hopper opening from the handle so that no product is wasted when you make turns or stop. This is not the case with most other models and can lead to burnt areas of grass if you’re not careful.
