Miracle-Gro Lawn Seed Drop Spreader

Product Information

A3: For best results and even greening we advise using one of our lawn spreaders, application can be done by hand but this does require measuring out each square metre and ensuring 35g is applied evenly over the area. Only apply to new lawns once the lawn is established (usually 3 months). Maximum 2 treatments per year. And be careful to thoroughly wipe out the spreader after using each different product as some are corrosive and may also interact with whatever else you put in the hopper afterwards. Contains iron to control moss. 2 weeks after application, simply rake out the dead moss. How to use It’s worth mentioning that the manufacturer recommends using this spreader with Scotts Lawn Builder, Miracle-Gro and Evergreen lawn care and/or grass seed products only. However, it will work just fine with any brand of grass seed products and fertilisers. Pros

Do not walk on the treated area and keep children and pets away from the area until the product is thoroughly watered in and the grass is completely dry to stop it transferring onto other surfaces. Sweep up any spillages and dispose of carefully. 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 Please see our Buyer’s Guide for a description of the pros and cons of broadcast spreaders, drop spreaders and handheld spreaders. 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. CapacityFor a visual guide to the correct rate, first spread the recommended amount over a small measured area. Maintain the spout at a comfortable height above the ground (at least 45cm). Spread across the lawn area in even strips. Avoid overlapping. When you stop walking raise the spout to stop the flow of granules. Sophisticated dispensing mechanism with adjustable settings to drop just the right amount for your task and lawn situation. The below spreader settings will give you guidance on which to use for all our grass seed products. As of publishing, these are: Wear protective equipment, especially if it’s a windy day, as lawn care products usually contain chemicals and some are caustic.
