Time for a greener grass!

That’s it, you've decided that the grass will no longer be greener on the other side. You are ready to reseed and feed your lawn with fertilizer and nutrients. But, you still need the right advice and the right tools. This guide will help you achieve the perfect lawn.

Choosing the right spreader

Buying a good spreader is a must to get a perfectly lush lawn. Depending on the size of your lawn, each spreader offers different advantages.

Broadcast spreader

Also called a rotary spreader. The container lets the fertilizer, seeds or nutrients escape onto a mechanical disc, which then disperses it on the lawn.

Perks

Suitable for medium and large lawns.
More effective on large, unobstructed surfaces.

Drop spreader

It’s the perfect tool to cover long strips of land without losing too much fertilizer. As you pass, make sure to cover the surface thoroughly, as the fertilizer falls directly from the base of the container.

Perks

Suitable for medium lawns.
Highly efficient for precision work.

Handheld spreader

The manual or handheld spreader is a great ally for small surfaces. Its mechanism is similar to the broadcast spreader.

Perks

Suitable for small lawns.
Goes where larger models of spreader can’t.
Most affordable spreader.

Pro Tip

Fertilizers create rust. Extend the life of your spreader by rinsing it after each use and occasionally oiling the mechanism.
