Product Information

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. Fertilizing– fertilizing at the right time helps new turf become well-established and sturdy, thus more resistant to weeds. The best time to start fertilizing a new lawn is 6-8 weeks after planting. You don’t want to start fertilizing too soon, as the fertilizer may burn your young seedlings. In autumn, your lawn needs another type of feed which will keep the grass growing at a slower rate, not so lush but still green. It also prepares your lawn for the winter by building up the roots and health of the grass to withstand the cold. In the heat of an English summer, the grass won’t be growing – in fact, it’s more likely to be scorched by any fertilisers. Stop feeding your lawn during prolonged dry spells, and once there’s been a good rainfall, wait a few days then feed again. Aim to feed the lawn every six to eight weeks throughout the summer. Easy to set up and use, and with the handy little arm support feature that will please a lot of people after a long day’s reseeding or lawn feeding, the Greenkey Deluxe Seed and Fertiliser Spreader is another excellent option. Not a perfect product, as the spread controls aren’t the most accurate, but it is a low-cost model that does its job well.

There is an on/off trigger that comes in very useful when negotiating the corners of your lawn and if used properly will prevent you accidentally dumping too much feeder in one spot which could have adverse effects. However, a rotary lawn spreader may not apply product as evenly as a drop spreader; there may be more product that lands closer to the unit and less nearer the parameters of its spreading reach. If, after reading the end of that previous review, you think you would prefer something that is much simpler to put together, the Scotts EvenGreen drop spreader might be something that piques your interest. We recommend that you use a large sprinkler system to water your lawn after a feeding session. Always water in the early morning before the sun gets too high in the sky. The heat of the day increases evaporation rate, and watering later in the afternoon or peak sun hours will be wasting this resource. Weedkiller in your Fertilizing FormulaIf 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. 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. Obviously, weed and feed products are formulated to apply both fertilizer and herbicide to your lawn. Sometimes, you only need one or the other, and you may be better off ditching the combo product and only using one or the other, especially in the case of an herbicide.

Weight is another factor to consider, especially if you’re thinking about a handheld spreader. You don’t want something that weighs a ton in your hands all day. If you’ve never had to deal with fertilizer before, then out buyers’ guide will give you everything you need to know about this topic.
