Simply adjust the setting according to the product you are using (see our spreader settings table) and away you go. There’s an on/off grip handle so starting and stopping the application of the granules is easy and accurate when you get to the end of a strip. Wear protective equipment, especially if it’s a windy day, as lawn care products usually contain chemicals and some are caustic. 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.

For this spreader to last a long time, make sure you hose down with a pressure washer after every use to remove all traces of lawn products. Fertiliser traces are corrosive to the main centre axle so it’s just a matter of maintenance. Make sure you also re-grease the axle quite often with WD40. Pros As you walk up and down the lawn, the product will drop out in a controlled manner between the wheels, you can usually see a wheel line left in the grass enabling you to line up the lawn spreader with the previous row and avoid over-lapping.
