Aftercut 20400372 Lawn Thickener Feed and Seed, 100 m2, 3.5 kg, Brown

Product Information

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. However, what this ultimately means is that there are plenty of settings to choose from – you just need to get the hang of them, There are various apertures as well as a wide spreading width that’s adjustable between 1.2 m and 3.4 m.

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 Formula You won’t need a degree in engineering to assemble this lawn feed spreader either. In fact, it’s a doddle to put together and will only take 2 minutes as you can see from my video. In fact, it took me longer to cut the lid open than the actual setup process 😀 If using a drop spreader, the application will be more concentrated and therefore you may use more product. You need to be especially careful not to stop still when using a drop spreader – if the aperture is open, the seeds/fertiliser will be heaped in one place. You should feed the whole lawn with one of our seasonal fertilisers which will assist the new seedlings to develop and also aid the recovery of the existing scarified grasses.Simply scatter around 35g of the granular feed per 1m² patch of lawn and water it thoroughly straight after application. If you’re keen to help the germination of the added grass seed present in the feed then keep the lawn well watered for the next fortnight. The organic matter won’t stain like other fertilisers if you happen to step across it, and won’t scorch your lawn either, even if it’s over-applied.

Specification: Spreading width: 45 cm , Capacity: N/A , Recommended lawn area: least 100 m² , When to use: March to November Fortunately, Evergreen’s Scotts EasyGreen Rotary Spreaderstrikes a good compromise between practicality and affordability. The thing is, that this lawn feed spreader comes in quite a lot of different parts and takes a while to assemble. Not only that, but the instructions aren’t the clearest on some of the assembly points and it does lead to a little frustration. Across larger areas (we’re talking acres!), you can use bigger, towable spreaders – look for a capacity of approximately 40kg to cover ¼ of an acre.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. There are also directions given for using the best spread rate settings with various types of EverGreen granular products too. Generally, a lightweight, durable metal frame and a hopper made from plastic or lightweight steel signify a high-quality spreader. 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 Plus You may be having an irresistible urge to spray weed and feed on your recently overseeded turf after spotting one or two weeds sprouting on the lawn. However, the growing seedlings will not be able to survive the strength of the herbicide. If you’re planning to use a weed and feed product with a post-emergent herbicide on your growing turf, wait until the grass roots anchor deeper into the soil and the lawn is established.

Lawn feed isn’t exactly food; it’s more a combination of mineral nutrients that help your grass to grow. Just like other plants, grass needs a regular supply of nutrients to keep it growing healthily. The main nutrients needed are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), each of which provide your lawn with different benefits.EverGreen 18920 Easy Spreader Plus (best cheap wheeled lawn feed spreader)[personally tested and proven]

These kinds of spreaders will automatically throw out and granular feed as you push the tool along across your lawn, and will increase the width of this the faster you walk. At an average pace, the spreading width is around 150-180cm, but it can be as much as 340cm with a little effort. These formulations have strong doses for your grass that release over many months. We don’t recommend these formulations for younger lawns that are not yet mature. Younger grass may require a more frequent application to prevent burning from slow-release formulations. The Best Weed and Feed Formula for Southern Lawns Or, if you have lawn weeds in fall that you want to eradicate, a post-emergent weed and feed will kill these weeds, but you never want to feed a warm-season turf like centipedegrass or Bahiagrass in the fall. Feeding warm-season lawns late in the season dramatically increases the chance of winterkill. Our lawn care and plant fertilisers promote growth in your garden. From lawn treatment and manure to plant food and fertiliser, we have everything you need to keep your lawn and flowers thriving year-round. Improve your soil quality with garden manure, ideal for feeding established plants and helping them flourish. To seed your lawn after using a pre-emergent weed and feed, you may have to wait between 1-6 months, with 2 months being the average wait time. This is due to the wide variation in the duration it takes for different types of pre-emergent herbicides to degrade in the soil. A herbicide like 2,4-D decays in as soon as four weeks, but you may have to wait for six months to plant grass seed on a lawn treated with Atrazine herbicide.Covering the seeded lawn with polythene makes germination extremely reliable. In addition, there will be no watering until the polythene is removed so feeding at the time of seeding is the best and most convenient option. If you are doing this in warmer weather (not hot) remove the polythene as soon as possible after germination so as not to cook the seedlings. Use the Starter Fertiliser for this.
