Miracle-Gro Handy Lawn Seed Spreader

Product Information

Wear protective equipment, especially if it’s a windy day, as lawn care products usually contain chemicals and some are caustic. Using the Handy Spreader is as simple as walking. Just fill the hopper with the desired product, preferably off the lawn to prevent spills on the patio.

The main benefit to a drop lawn spreader is that it will give the most accurate and even distribution of lawn care products. Usually regulated by the pace you walk at and the size of the opening on the base of the spreaders hopper, the best drop lawn spreaders will have a good range of settings and at the top end of the market you will get a control mechanism on the top of the spreader handle, enabling you to shut the spreader off and stop the product from being dispensed - especially useful to avoid over-application at the end of each row and forgetting the spreader to and from the lawn. There are many types of adjustable lawn spreaders on the market, and they range from the more basic drop spreader with a low number of settings, to the more professional style drop and rotary spreaders with a wide selection of settings. The Agri-Fab 45-0462 Push-Type Smartspreader is a large capacity model that is ideal for large scale seeding, fertilising or salt spreading. The spreader can hold 58kg of product and distribute it around the lawn with ease and minimal waste. You have control over the settings of the spreader. This lets you work with different products whether reseeding a large lawn, spreading fertilizer or even spreading grit salt in winter. This Smartspreader works just as effectively with all granular products.A drop spreader design is usually a trough mounted on wheels that drops seeds as you walk in a straight line.

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.

Solo 421 9kg Manual Spreader– A unique hand spreader that you wear. I use this for applying fertiliser on uneven ground. A3: Granules have probably found their way into the gearbox under the spinner. Empty the hopper and soak the spreader in warm soapy water for a few hours to dissolve the granules and then wash it out with clean water. Allow to dry before using again.A1: The spreader dispenses the granules in a 2 metre arc when turning the handle at the correct speed to apply the product at the advised rate.

Walensee 24-inch Compost Spreader– I would never be without this compost spreader. Evenly apply topsoil, top dressing, compost and peat. Perfect for applying a dressing over grass seed.
