Scotts EvenGreen Drop spreader, Grass and Lawn Seed Spreader, for Easy Application of Lawn Products and Grass Seed

Product Information

This Scotts Miracle-Gro Drop Spreader is designed for the even spreading of grass seed and the precise application of lawn products. This reducing the risk of scorching which is a common problem when applying fertiliser products to lawns. The Miracle-Gro EvenGreen is convenient to use thanks to the variable settings that allow you to choose the appropriate rate for specified products. Whether you are spreading Scotts Lawn products, Evergreen or Micro-Granular grass seeds, this model will ensure even distribution of the products. 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. The most efficient way to feed the lawn because all of the fertiliser is delivered directly on to the lawn Another use for this lawn compost spreader is to fill in uneven areas in your lawns before reseeding to make the lawn more level. I have done this sometimes instead of using my specialist lawn levelling rake. Pros 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.

Scotts Evengreen Drop Spreader - Total Amenity Supplies

Scotts EvenGreen Drop Spreader has a drop bar beneath the fertiliser hopper that turns with the axle. This bar has rows of granule-sized indentations along it that are filled from the hopper as it turns. It delivers granules in rows immediately under the spreader as it is wheeled along

This lawn spreader is made of polyethylene which is a durable and easy to clean material. When you are done working, just hose the spreader down and store it – it’s that easy. It comes with a spreading width of over three metres and is suitable for areas up to 2,300m 2 The spreader rests on 25cm air tires that have good traction and don’t leave imprints on the lawn. Green powder-coated metal mesh basket is 60cm wide with diamond-shaped openings with 2.7 cu.ft of space. 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 All lawn spreaders handle grass seed and granular lawn fertilisers. However, some can also spread winter salt, sand or grit for melting the snow, powdered lime and compost. If having a all-season spreader piques your interest, read carefully to see if your chosen spreader is indeed multi-functional.

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 I like that all the controls are on the handle of the spreader attached to the cable. You open and close the spreading disc from there. You can also select how much area the spreader covers, but you need to manually adjust the cover plate for that. But this feature lets you spread close to the edges of the lawn and is super handy. What I like is that you can close the hopper opening from the handle so that no product is wasted when you make turns or stop. This is not the case with most other models and can lead to burnt areas of grass if you’re not careful. Pros 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. Walk up and down the lawn, The Miracle-Gro® Drop Spreader creates a strip of granules directly below the moving spreader which is approximately 45cm (18in) wide. When returning, align the arrow on the hopper above the tyre marks made in the previous strip.Using the spreader is as easy as adjusting the twist setting to the amount of product you want to drop, pulling the on/of trigger and walking at a consistent speed. 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 This highly configurable drop spreader makes maintaining lawns really easy. Save time and effort to cover a larger area in less time, verses manual hand feeding. Great for busy people who want lush lawns and save time. To obtain even coverage, spread half the required amount in a north-south direction, then the other half in an east-west direction Walk steadily pushing the spreader while also squeezing the trigger on the handle. Release trigger at the end of each pass
