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.

Summer is the only season when fertilisers aren’t usually necessary. Your lawn should be getting plenty of sunlight, which encourages rapid enough growth without the extra fertiliser boost. The most important thing is to water your lawn during any dry spells to prevent it from drying out. More than 2,800 customers have awarded the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care Spreader an average star rating of 4.4. Customers said that the feed was “a good feed for your autumn lawn” and “easy to use and spread”. One reviewer said they’ve been using this last feed for years and noted that it helped stop the creep of moss and improved their lawn’s ability to withstand the winter. This is a simple but clever design feature, and the type of thing I like to see product makers trying out instead of just making carbon copies of other top-selling models.Specification: Spreading width: N/A (very small) , Capacity: 3 liters , Recommended lawn area: least 100 m² , When to use: N/A However, don’t let those little things put you off, as this is a great little drop spreader and priced very reasonably. Where Gardena has lived up to their name is with the overall build quality of this lawn feed spreader, which is excellent.

The powder simply needs to be diluted in a watering can for application. Either this, or it can be used with the Miracle-Gro Feeder hose attachment which needs to be bought separately – the attachment connects to your hose and allows the powder to be mixed with water as it comes out. Both methods work to create an even application of the product.The EverGreen Easy Spreader Plus does a good job of living up to that ‘easy spreader’ name – it’s an uncomplicated drop spreader with a basic design that works well. It’s a simple but effective way to spread seed and fertiliser in small gardens. So, what are the negatives? Well, I can only really find one, but it might be enough to put some people off. 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!). In spring, look for a fertiliser with a high amount of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, because a lot of nitrogen is used rapidly for grass growth, reducing the natural amounts present in the soil. Organic lawn feeds are derived from natural sources, like seaweed or plant and animal waste. They often combine nutrients with organic compounds and beneficial microorganisms, which support healthy soils and encourage plant growth. Organic lawn food is typically made from organic seaweed extract or organic matter.

You have to measure out the product using the provided cap for proper dilution, which isn’t as efficient as some of the spray-design liquid lawn feed products. Some of the best-designed lawn feeds are more than just a moss killer – they also harden the turf to reduce the likelihood of lawn diseases like powdery mildew and brown patch. This further supports your lawn health and maintains its green, uniform appearance, and should also reduce worm casts. It has a max spread width of 0.53 m, so achieves an accurate application and everything is kept firmly under control. However, because of this, it may be a better choice for smaller lawns, or perhaps medium spaces, rather than large areas.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.

It’s great to see that you have two application methods to choose from with this lawn feed – you can either use it bi-weekly to sustain a green, healthy lawn from March through October, or you can apply three times the amount (6 capfuls rather than 2) for a “rapid green up” whenever needed. 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 The formula contains no phosphorus, and has an NK ratio of 14-5 meaning it’s high in nitrogen, with a reasonable amount of potassium too. Specification: Spreading width: 1-4 metres , Capacity: 1.8 liters , Recommended lawn area: up to around 100 m² , When to use: year-round useIn terms of moss, within two weeks of applying the product, the moss will have died and be ready to rake. As with all moss killers, this may result in some sparse patches directly after raking; however, grass will soon spread into bare areas. 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. Seaweed is a popular ingredient in organic lawn feed, and has a similar effect on lawns. It’s rich in natural growth-promoting hormones like auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellin, which encourage grass leaf and root development. 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. It’s rare to find a lawn feed that has worked so consistently and reliably for the majority of customers. It’s suitable for use from March to October (you only need to apply it once a month, maximum), so you can keep your lawn in tip-top condition from spring to autumn.
