EverGreen 400sqm Complete 4-in-1 Lawn Care, Lawn Food, Weed and Moss Killer Bag

Product Information

Drop spreaders, as you can guess, ‘drop’ the fertiliser straight down and not out to the sides. While this makes them a little slower to cover the same area when compared to a rotary model, it also makes controlling where the feed goes much easier. This is particularly useful for smaller gardens, and for working on parts of the lawn that are next to vulnerable areas such as flower beds and ponds. 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. These nutrients also help grass to survive extreme weather conditions, like dry, blazing hot summers (i.e. our two-week summer heatwave in the UK). 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. A rotary lawn spreader, sometimes referred to as a ‘broadcast spreader’, works by flinging fertiliser/grass seed out as its rotator spins. A rotary lawn seed spreader will allow you to cover more area in less time, quite desirable if you have a larger lawn.

There are also directions given for using the best spread rate settings with various types of EverGreen granular products too. EverGreen 18920 Easy Spreader Plus (best cheap wheeled lawn feed spreader)[personally tested and proven] This model also features the folding handlebar to make storage easier and to get a comfortable working angle, but again, the height can’t be changed. This feed has the best NPK ratio for autumn (6-10-5), with a high potassium content to support root health. Plus, it contains seaweed to further support healthy roots, and iron, which kills moss in as little as 7 days.

Whether hoping to fix a sparse lawn or trying to revitalise dead grass, when lawns are in desperate need of attention, reliable and fast-acting products can make all the difference. Miracle-Gro is a well-renowned company for a reason, and their Water Soluble Lawn Food is easy to apply with a sprayer or watering can, often creating visibly greener lawns in just three days. Unlike cheaper granular lawn feeds, this fertiliser comes in a homogeneous granular formulation – all the required nutrients are contained, and balanced, within each individual granule. As a result, no area ends up with a higher concentration of one particular nutrient, meaning it’s easier to treat the whole lawn evenly. As a result, this lawn spreader is versatile to use with a lot of different lawn products, and for a variety of uses too. 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.

However, it is still a very good lawn feeder spreader for the price and if used as intended, it does a great job.

My Top Recommended Lawn Feed

The best lawn feed products usually contain a combination of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. These combine to encourage lush green growth, support root development, enhance overall plant health, and reduce the likelihood of diseases. The envii Greenkeeper’s Secret Liquid Lawn Fertiliser Feed is specially formulated for fast results. It uses a liquid formula that provides nutrients to the soil instantly, so you’ll see a difference faster than with granular lawn feed products. Most people saw a noticeable difference after 6-10 days of application.

Creating the perfect lawn takes time and effort. It’s not just a case of planting grass seed and waiting for the sun and rain to do their jobs. In an earlier article I showed you how to make and level a lawn from scratch. This time I just need some grass seed down for the kids to play on as we are going to do a major landscape project and I got lazy. I’ll admit it. I sent the kids around with a bag and handfuls of grass seed. It was a washout 😀 (the UK almost always is!). The lawn is completely patchy – and in fairness, the birds got their share of my seed but it would have still been a problem. So this time, armed with more seed, and the best lawn spreader I am testing and showing you how much more accurate a lawn spreader really is as opposed to hand seeding. In fact that’s a bit misleading – my daughter is going to demonstrate for you 🙂 My daughter helping me test our EverGreen 18920 Easy Spreader PlusThere are a few reasons why a lawn feed product might not work for you, including incorrect application, poor product quality, and insufficient soil pH.

It may not be quite as sophisticated as a rotary spreader, but it does keep everything under control. Apart from the spreading function, the Scotts Evergreen drop spreader is very similar in design to its sibling, with a large plastic hopper and plastic wheels mounted on a metal frame and handles. Holding this spreader for extended periods isn’t a chore as it only weighs around 550 grams, and even when the hopper is filled to its 3 litre capacity, it is hardly what you would call heavy. Most lawn spreaders have adjustable settings so that you can easily dictate the rate at which it will distribute seed and fertiliser. As we mentioned above, the best autumn lawn food should have a higher potassium and phosphorous content than a spring/summer or year-round lawn fertiliser.The NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) r Read on below and our buyer’s guide will try to provide the answers to these questions and more. Comparing the types of lawn feed spreader People who prefer the instant effects of a liquid autumn lawn feed and want to save time and resources by buying a bottle with a built-in hose sprayer. Just in front of the wide, rubber gripped, handles there is a good-sized, and clearly marked spread rate adjustment lever. This too is made of strong steel, but with a plastic grip for comfort, and is highly unlikely to become damaged or worn any time soon.
