Miracle-Gro Handy Lawn Seed Spreader

Product Information

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. A2: Start the spinner turning before moving off then open the hopper as you move off up the lawn, this way the granules drop on to the spinning disc and will be dispensed out over the lawn in a 2 metre arc. If the hopper is opened first the granules will fall down in a heap resulting in over application. At the end of each run close the hopper before stopping the spinner. 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. 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 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.
