Miracle-Gro EverGreen Multi Purpose Lawn Seed 1.6 kg - 56 m2, White

Product Information

One of the most important factors is to make sure you are feeding your lawn all the necessary things it needs to grow into something comparable to a bowling green. And to do this right, you should really be using one of the best lawn feed spreaders to ensure that your lawn weed and feed are getting evenly distributed and giving your grass the best chance to flourish.

A4: Overseeding or reseeding patches can be done 8 weeks after using Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Complete 4 in 1. After applying new seeds, Miracle-Gro EverGreen Complete 4 in 1 must not be applied until the grass is 6 months old. It’s a pretty easy seed to use, not requiring too much attention except for the usual watering to make sure the area is kept damp. If there is heavy rain within the first few days after sowing, there could be a chance of some seeds getting swept away, so it’s fair to say that the weather can affect results significantly. A3: The weeds that have appeared in your new lawn are commonly occurring, opportunistic species. Such weeds often come up on newly disturbed soil, where they can rapidly colonise and establish themselves. They will have originated from seed which has lain dormant in the soil, possibly for many years, or from weed seed that may have been wind-blown, or introduced by birds. Most of them will be annual weeds and with regular mowing they will die off. All grass seed is examined for purity before it is released for sale and there will not be other.

You could think of a lawn feed spreader as a wheelbarrow with holes but much more sophisticated at evenly spreading. A lawn feed spreader is a tool used to help you spread lawn feed faster, and more evenly than you could, just using your hands. Whether it is a small, handheld lawn feed spreader, or a larger version that is mounted on wheels, they basically made up of some kind of container that you fill with seeds or feed and a section that is used for dispersing the contents around your garden. It is important to note that these products are only meant to be used with granular lawn feed, so if you are planning on using a liquid-based fertiliser, you’d be better off shopping for a good garden sprayer or watering can instead. How to use a lawn feed spreader In terms of capacity I have laid in easily a good couple of kilo of seed, maybe even two! – reloading every few minutes doesn’t feel a burden at all when you’re covering so much ground:

If you’re working on a large scale, you’ll be able to fit roughly a 20 kg bag of fertiliser or lawn seed into the hopper at a time. You just can’t go wrong really – There’s no way you can justify the extra of the Scotts when you compare the price and how much you’ll use it, unless it’s for commercial purposes. Then read on to the Scotts lawn spreader as I compare and test them. 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!). Create a criss-cross pattern, by sowing half the seed from left to right and the rest from top to bottom. If you have a larger than usual lawn, you might want to consider a tow-behind spreader that you can pull with a quad or small tractor.

My Top Recommended Lawn Spreaders

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. 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. Pennisetum thunbergii 'Red Buttons' compact clumps of narrow, grassy leaves and bright-red button-like flowers on tall stems. Height 75cm (30ins) or more Most lawn spreaders have adjustable settings so that you can easily dictate the rate at which it will distribute seed and fertiliser. Specification: Spreading width: 3.05-3.66 metres , Capacity: 23 kg , Recommended lawn area: up to around 100 m² , When to use: year-round use

You should always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions because different models can vary dramatically.

Best grass seed at a glance:

The feeder hole in the bottom of the 18 litre capacity hopper is opened and closed using an ergonomically designed trigger found on the handlebars. I really liked the way this worked and felt very natural when you used it. Residents in milder coastal areas, milder counties and owners of warm, sheltered sunny walls might add considerably to these lists, e.g. Restio paniculatus, R. tetraphyllus (m). And it’s not only fertiliser that can be used with this spreader. You can also use it for distributing road salt on your drive and path in winter, for spreading seeds, and even sand. If you don’t have the greenest thumbs, a hardy grass seed like RUNADI’s Speedy Grass Lawn Seed is a good option for those who are newer to the world of gardening. It doesn’t require quite as much preparation or maintenance as some of the other seed mixes featured here, and it produces results that are long lasting and easy to maintain. Unlike our other Scotts product review, this one is a drop spreader and works in a slightly different way. Where a rotary spreader will use a turntable to throw the fertiliser, weed killer, etc. out in multiple directions, a drop spreader distributes the contents of the hopper straight down.
