Grass is the centrepiece of any garden but in amongst continuous watering and cutting, a lawn care routine can feel like a laborious task.

Still, it’s a great option to use as well as my drop or broadcast lawn spreader to add a good coverage of dressing (usually compost) after reseeding. However, some can also spread winter salt, sand or grit for melting the snow, powdered lime and compost.This spreader features variable settings that control the distribution of feed, providing an even application across your lawn. If having a all-season spreader piques your interest, read carefully to see if your chosen spreader is indeed multi-functional. The handlebar of this product is adjustable to make sure it suits every gardener regardless of your height. 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.
