Miracle-Gro Lawn Seed Drop Spreader

Product Information

Working hard to make your lawn its best self includes having the right tools and equipment for each task. Spreading granular lawn care products on your lawn is best done with a lawn spreader. This piece of equipment is not expensive and it ensures even coverage of fertiliser and other care products, along with grass seeds. Not evenly covering your lawn can lead to patchy spots and, even worse, long term harm. If you’re investing time and effort for a verdant and vibrant lawn, let a lawn spreader help out. Green powder-coated metal mesh basket is 60cm wide with diamond-shaped openings with 2.7 cu.ft of space. 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. Now, something you do need is the spreader application setting leaflet as pictured above. You refer to this so you know what number to use on the spreader depending on what product you’re using.

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 However, with a broadcast spreader, it’s not always easy to control the spread of seeds since the built-in disc doesn’t spread the seeds in a uniform manner. The area closest to the spreader usually gets the best seed spread while the surrounding areas won’t be covered evenly. This can be a challenge especially when spreading grass seeds as you want an even application and no patchy spots. Easy application of granular lawn products and takes minimal effort to keep your lawn lush and healthy.

Of course, the more product you put in, the heavier the spreader is to push.
