About this deal

Where Gardena has lived up to their name is with the overall build quality of this lawn feed spreader, which is excellent.

Einhell GE-US Power X-Change Lawn Feed Spreader (best battery powered lawn feed spreader) [personally tested and proven]This lawn feed is particularly effective when used in the autumn through until spring for ridding your lawn of worm casts too, as the slimy remnants can make mowing the grass rather muddy and slippery. What I definitely appreciated though was the stand. I can just rest the spreader upright whilst I load it with seed – without the stand I would be pulling my hair out. Here’s a picture of what I mean: Looking for something a bit more heavy-duty? The Handy 50lb wheeled lawn and fertiliser spreader is among the most solid and sturdy models I’ve ever come across and would suit someone who has a medium to large-sized lawn, particularly if your lawn is on a slope or you have uneven terrain to negotiate. Additionally, some autumn feeds have moss control added to combat any moss present. It’s important to feed with a specific autumn lawn food, such as Miracle-Gro Autumn Lawn Care, to get the grass ready for the colder, wetter weather of winter and strengthen the lawn ready for spring. Autumn lawn feeds are low in nitrogen so as not to encourage any soft top growth that can be easily damaged by frost.

For convenience you can fertilise the seeded lawn area on the day of sowing however, due to changing weather patterns this may not always be best. This can vary for many reasons and in particular if you have covered the seed with polythene sheeting. Having said that never feed the lawn before seeding. Feeding the Patched or Over Seeded Lawn – Covered and Uncovered However, due to this product’s formulation, keep pets and kids away from the lawn until after watering. This Scotts product comes in your choice of 4,000-sq ft or 8,000-sq ft coverage. The trigger to operate the tool is situated on the centre of the handlebar and below that are the variable distribution controls that are clearly marked, if a little on the small side, just like the rotary model by the same makers. If you are seeding in mildspring or autumn weather, when rain is reliably expected, or you can water frequently, then feed directly before sowing the seed or wait until germination. The choice is yours. Walking at a fairly spritely pace of 1 metre per second seems to be considered the optimal, so you can consider this your cardio workout for the day as well.

Is it Safe to Walk on New Seedlings?

That’s because systemic herbicides don’t leave any residue in the soil that might harm seeds grown a few days after. They’re instead absorbed into plants via the leaves and roots, killing the whole plant within 7 days. Common examples of systemic herbicides include glyphosate and pelargonic acid.

A good choice for Smaller lawns where you have to be careful about the spread, and top-class quality materials make this Gardena product well worth a look. From a height perspective, I am 5 foot 9, I had no problem using this, my daughter considerably shorter, again no problem, it’s more about the angle change. It may seem like all the products in this review are similar, but they all have unique formulations. These companies invest millions into research and development of the best nutrient combinations and weedkiller formulations. The best time to plant grass seed after applying weed and feed depends on whether the weed and feed used contained a pre-emergent or post-emergent herbicide. For weed and feed products containing post-emergent, systemic weed killers, you can plant grass seed as soon as two weeks after application.
