About this deal

So now for the bit that really matters, how easy is it to use and is it accurate. Well, I can tell you it’s as accurate as any of the other drop spreaders and more accurate than a rotatory spreader, especially right against the edge of a lawn. We haven’t included any handheld spreaders in our review but they’re useful to know about. These spreaders are compact for small gardening needs and are very affordable. 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 larger handheld spreaders are powered by battery rather than you having to hand crank them. Capacity Sophisticated dispensing mechanism with adjustable settings to drop just the right amount for your task and lawn situation. 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

Another use for this lawn compost spreader is to fill in uneven areas in your lawns before reseeding to make the lawn more level. I have done this sometimes instead of using my specialist lawn levelling rake. Pros A1: After applying this product in accordance with the label instructions keep children and pets away from treated areas until the granules have been watered in thoroughly and the area has dried.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. Wear protective equipment, especially if it’s a windy day, as lawn care products usually contain chemicals and some are caustic. A3: You can overseed or reseed patches on your lawn 6 weeks after use. However, it is important to ensure that weather conditions and soil temperature levels are still correct for seed germination.

Watering in: If no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work. 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.

A4: Avoid mowing your lawn 2-3 days before and after treatment. Do not use the first 4 mowings after treatment for mulching. They will be safe to use after being thoroughly composted for 6 months. To add to that, this model is easy to assemble. In a couple of minutes of reading the instructions, you’re done and it’s ready for use. The 16kg lawn spreader comes with a three-year warranty which indicates that the quality of the model can be trusted. It is a premium-priced product designed with professional use in mind. Pros The build quality is amazing. This Solo 421 9kg Manual Spreader is a professional-grade piece of equipment. The alturnative spreaders for the home gardener don’t even come close to this spreader in terms of build quality. This is clearly designed to last a lifetime, but if I had to replace it, I would get one again.

Green powder-coated metal mesh basket is 60cm wide with diamond-shaped openings with 2.7 cu.ft of space. Solo 421 9kg Manual Spreader– A unique hand spreader that you wear. I use this for applying fertiliser on uneven ground. 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.

More Info

Drop spreader allows for accurate application of granular products so you don;t put seeds or fertiliser where you don’t want them 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. 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. Convenient on/off switch stops the product from dropping when you stop the spreader without you having to bend down to the lever.
