Product Information

Cleaning the spreader after each use: It’s important to clean your spreader thoroughly after each use to avoid any buildup from prior applications that could affect the accuracy of future applications. The Scotts Edgeguard spreader settings chart for grass seeds is also applicable with Scotts Edgeguard Mini. Avoid exceeding the settings, as this can result in excessive distribution of the products. Choosing the Right Scotts Spreader Setting Chart for Your Lawn Most lawn enthusiasts end up using the wrong spreader settings. A conversion chart is worth considering to avoid hurting your lawn with excess or inadequate lawn food. Whilst rotary spreaders can be prone to flinging grass seed everywhere, including into flowerbeds, this EverGreen Easy Spreader Plus is a drop spreader that only dispenses seed, or fertiliser, under the unit as you walk (so you won’t find yourself pulling unwanted grass shoots out of the flowerbed a week later!).

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. Thus, the Scotts drop spreader is calibrated in this simple way. How to Adjust Scotts Drop Spreader?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. Completely empty the spreader weighs in at 3.4kg but even with a full load of feed it doesn’t feel cumbersome and my wife found it very easy to use despite being only 5.5ft and being a dainty little thing. These are small gripes though, and I shouldn’t complain too much about something that costs under fifteen quid, and overall it is a good little spreader and certainly worth a look.

To use this product at its optimum, Evergreen suggests that you walk at a pace of about 1 metre per second, but going a little slower had no noticeable negative effects, so don’t worry if you’re not exactly the Usain Bolt of the gardening world. But this is subjective as the wheels are directly connected to the turnstile so if you walk slower you’ll get the same release I found from testing, so not quite sure what they mean – just take your time – the speed my daughter demos worked absolutely fine for seed… The largely steel construction has been powder coated to fight off adverse weather effects, and has been done to a high quality and should last. The frame itself feels very strong too, so you can forgive the extra weight that comes with it, and with those pneumatic wheels doing their job, you don’t notice it that much anyway. You may think that it results the same as the other two spreaders, but I won’t suggest you use this one for every type of lawn. It is because this spreader will take a long duration to complete the task in a big or medium lawn.

If you plan to adjust the spreader setting based on your walking speed, maintain a consistent pace throughout the application.

Make sure that the materials are corrosion resistant. You can help to further prevent rust/corrosion by limiting the spreaders exposure to the elements. Keep the lawn spreader dry and out of direct sunlight as much as possible to prolong the life of the metal and plastic components. We set the spreader settings to 26 for using the mow it less, cut, and feed. Similarly, the result was 30 grams per square meter. But it was much faster. So, make sure to mark a large area before starting your work. On the contrary, for organic choice, there is a specific limit. Beginning in 29.5, you can turn it to 31.5 maximum, no more than that. We found output of 35g for 29.5 while 50gm for 31.5. Answer: Scotts set their compatible setting number for various purposes. In case you are spreading seeds for the first time in a new lawn, the setting should be set to 15. As for spreading seeds in an old lawn, setting 5 works better. Why are the Numbers Put on Scotts Spreader Settings? Organic choice lawn food and evergreen autumn has the same setting number 7.5. It means per square meter will be benefited with 35 grams of product. 8.5 refers to 50 grams/square meter.As a result, this lawn spreader is versatile to use with a lot of different lawn products, and for a variety of uses too. At this point, the micrometer range demands to be set and do it in its setting barrel. Use your fingers in rotating it until you meet the serial number 6. Of course, the downside to any battery-powered tool is that the battery will eventually run out, but these days it is not as bad as it once was, with even the smallest 1.5Ah Li-ion batteries giving you a good couple of hours of usage on a single charge. The manual that comes with this spreader isn’t the best quality but it does give you the best settings to use for various products, which is very helpful if this is your first lawn feed spreader. The construction is a mix of metal and plastic, with plastic wheels and tank fixed onto metal handles. The handles can be folded down for storage purposes but unfortunately, the height of them can’t be adjusted. Having said that, they come up about a metre tall, so it’s not like they are overly short to begin with.
