Even coverage, so the lawn does not end up striped.
A 12 litre wheeled spreader with a 45 cm spread width, rate settings and a coverage of up to 1000 square metres.
Spreading feed or seed by hand produces stripes: heavy where your hand went, bare where it did not, and you see the pattern for the rest of the season. This spreader holds 12 litres, throws a 45 cm band and has rate settings on the handle so you can match the product to the walking speed.
One fill covers a good sized lawn, and it will keep going over about 1000 square metres.
The reason to use a spreader is not speed, it is evenness. Granular feed at double rate scorches, and at half rate does nothing, so a striped application gives you both problems in the same lawn.
The rate control lets you set the opening for the product you are actually using. Check the bag: seed, feed and lime all want different settings.
Walk at a steady pace and overlap each pass slightly. Turning with the hopper open is what causes the heavy patches at the ends of a lawn.
It is light at under 2 kg empty, which makes it easy to lift and store, and easy to run out of ballast on rough ground, so take it steady over bumps.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and this store allows 15, plus a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. EU Directive 2019/771 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
It meters granular product out at a set rate as you push it, so feed, seed or lime lands evenly instead of in handfuls.
How much does the hopper hold?
12 litres, which covers a good sized lawn in one fill.
How wide does it spread?
45 cm per pass.
How much ground will it cover?
Up to about 1000 square metres, depending on the product and the rate you set.
How heavy is it?
1.92 kg empty, so it is easy to lift, carry and store.
Can I use it for grass seed as well as fertiliser?
Yes. Seed, granular feed and lime all work, but each wants a different rate setting, so check the product bag.
How do I set the rate?
There is a control on the handle that opens the gate by a set amount. Start with the setting the product recommends and check your coverage after the first pass.
Why does even spreading matter so much?
Granular feed at double rate scorches the grass and at half rate does nothing. Spread unevenly you get both problems in the same lawn, and you see the stripes for the rest of the season.
How fast should I walk?
At a steady, normal pace, and the same pace throughout. Rate settings assume a consistent speed.
Should I overlap each pass?
Slightly, yes. A small overlap is far better than a gap, because a gap shows as a pale stripe weeks later.
What causes heavy patches at the ends of a lawn?
Turning with the hopper still open. Close the gate before you turn and open it again once you are lined up.
Can I use it on a damp lawn?
Dry is better. Damp granules clump and stick in the hopper, which upsets the rate.
Do I need to water after spreading?
For most granular feeds yes, unless rain is due. Check the product instructions, since some are designed to be watered in and some are not.
Can I use it for salt or grit in winter?
It will spread it, but rinse and dry the unit thoroughly afterwards. Salt left on any metal part is the fastest way to ruin it.
How do I clean it?
Empty any leftover product, rinse the hopper and let it dry completely before storing. Fertiliser residue attracts damp.
Should I leave product in the hopper between uses?
No. It absorbs moisture, clumps, and can corrode the mechanism.
What is it made from?
The frame and hopper are a light construction chosen to keep the empty weight under 2 kg. No material grade is published for this item; ask us and we will get it from the supplier rather than guess.
Is it a drop spreader or a broadcast spreader?
It is sold for both jobs. The 45 cm spread width is what determines your pass spacing either way.
Can I use it on a slope?
Yes, working across the slope. On a steep bank the product can run to the low side of the hopper and change the rate.
Will it handle lumpy compost?
No. This is for granular products. For compost or top dressing you want the mesh drum compost spreader instead.
How do I work out how much product I need?
Measure the lawn area and read the coverage figure on the bag. Buying slightly over is safer than running out halfway across.
Can I apply weedkiller with it?
Only granular weed and feed products designed for a spreader. Never liquids, and follow the label exactly.
Does it come assembled?
The handle attaches without tools. Check the gate opens and closes freely before you fill it.
Can I calibrate it?
Roughly, yes. Run a measured strip on a hard surface with a known weight of product, sweep it up and weigh it. That tells you the real rate far better than the dial does.
What is the best time of year to feed a lawn?
Spring and early autumn for most lawns. Avoid feeding in drought or hard frost.
Can I use it for a new lawn from seed?
Yes, and it is much better than sowing by hand, because even coverage is what stops a new lawn coming up patchy.
How do I store it?
Clean, dry, and somewhere the hopper will not be crushed. Hanging or standing upright both work.
Do I need to wear gloves?
Sensible when handling fertiliser. Follow whatever the product label says, since some are irritants.
Will it work on gravel or a path?
It will spread there, but sweep any stray granules off hard surfaces. Fertiliser stains paving and runs off into drains.
Is there a warranty?
No warranty term is published for this item. Your statutory rights under EU law apply in full, and if anything is wrong when it arrives we put it right.
