No wonder, the chart has set everything suitable for the particular lawn.

This Scotts Miracle-Gro Drop Spreader is designed for the even spreading of grass seed and the precise application of lawn products.

You could think of a lawn feed spreader as a wheelbarrow with holes but much more sophisticated at evenly spreading. A lawn feed spreader is a tool used to help you spread lawn feed faster, and more evenly than you could, just using your hands. Whether it is a small, handheld lawn feed spreader, or a larger version that is mounted on wheels, they basically made up of some kind of container that you fill with seeds or feed and a section that is used for dispersing the contents around your garden. It is important to note that these products are only meant to be used with granular lawn feed, so if you are planning on using a liquid-based fertiliser, you’d be better off shopping for a good garden sprayer or watering can instead. How to use a lawn feed 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 spreadersWhen you are buying a Scotts product for a particular purpose, you have to go through its spreader settings. These settings vary a lot in accordance with your lawn area also.

Detailed Talk: Scotts Spreader Settings Conversion Chart Their placement is very uniform because they will only drop seeds through the hole in the base of the unit’s hopper.

In case you are about to mow the grass at a limited level and feed them, you should set the settings to number 5. In this way, per square meter will get 30 grams of fertilizer or seeds. Answer: The numbers put on Scotts spreader settings are for assisting the user with the required amount of spreader. If you make a mistake and spread less or more fertilizer or seed, the growth won’t be satisfactory. Besides, the grass or vegetables can be harmed too. Therefore, the numbers are put on for safety.

There is an on/off trigger that comes in very useful when negotiating the corners of your lawn and if used properly will prevent you accidentally dumping too much feeder in one spot which could have adverse effects. Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres by multiplying the length by the width (1 large stride = 1 metre approx) Now, let me break the process in steps to assist you. Step 1: Locate the Shutoff Bar and Release the Trigger ControlScotts drop spreader is an excellent way to maintain fertilizing or spreading seeds in your medium sized lawn. It is because drop spreader settings remain below nine and it indicates the lawn size. Unlike our other Scotts product review, this one is a drop spreader and works in a slightly different way. Where a rotary spreader will use a turntable to throw the fertiliser, weed killer, etc. out in multiple directions, a drop spreader distributes the contents of the hopper straight down. If using a drop spreader, the application will be more concentrated and therefore you may use more product. You need to be especially careful not to stop still when using a drop spreader – if the aperture is open, the seeds/fertiliser will be heaped in one place.
