EverGreen,Green,017990 Scotts Evergreen Handy Spreader, Grass and Lawn Seed Spreader, for Easy Application of Lawn Products and Grass Seed, 200.0 mm*300.0 mm*200.0 mm

This worked far better than I expected and bought at a bargain price on Amazon. Use with Evergreen 4 in 1. Contrary to some reviews, it worked brilliantly, did four lawned areas (0.25 acre) within a very short space of time. Far better than spreading by hand. No issues with it sticking/clogging. Achieved very even coverage. Just be careful when starting/stopping/turning; keep on the move to avoid any sudden release of fertilizer in one spot. It does tend to aim to the left, this is inherent because of the direction of the rotating paddle which offloads the fertilizer to the left, and the fact that the right hand side is blanked because of the location of the cranking wheel. Just bare that in mind and compensate by aiming the device appropriately. Update 1: This device will also spread new grass seed very effectively. However, some seed will inevitably be cast into adjacent plant borders. Two years on, I am still pulling out stray grass clumps out of those borders...so be careful where you use this device!

A good product - although it’s quite expensive for what it is, you can’t get any other spreader cheaper. Well made and sturdy. Only downside is it’s hard to know if you’re dispensing the correct amount as it’s hard to know how fast to walk and how fast to turn the handle. I would weigh product and mark out an area for the first couple of uses until you see how fast to go. Probably not as good as a wheeled spreader but cheaper and easier to store. Definitely better than hand spreading though!

Very impressed. I’ve got a relatively small garden of 100m squared. Have used a push spreader but found it to be uneven and led to scorching of the grass. This is so much better, really easy and provides better, more even coverage.

Works very well

I found this spreader difficult to use consistently well. It does work and it made spreading my lawn seed easier than chucking it down by hand however I don't think the 1-5 setting worked well at all and I ended up needing to open the seed slot to level 4/5 to make any seed come out. You have to consistently shake the spreader to keep the seed moving through the opening at the bottom as well which became hard work. I would use this again but would look for a better alternative for the future.

I used this with the EverGreen 4 in 1 lawn care product. I wasn't sure after seeing some of the reviews, but I figured I could return it if it didn't pan out but I actually didn't have any issues at all. It spreads a good meter around you so it's just a simple case of walking in straight lines (and not too slowly because this does work well), the handle is really good, it doesn't allow the full weight to go onto your wrist. One piece of advice I'd give is just keep this upright even after you use it, as with any spreader there will be seeds/whatever you're using left on the spinning plate so you don't want to waste a load which can go back into the bag. I can see this lasting a good few years, unless you load it up with some heavy and clunky stuff and keep cranking until you grind plastic, which wouldn't be the intended use.

I needed to spread a lot of grass seed, mostly on steep slopes, so this seemed a better solution to the push along type of spreader. Also for something that will be used very occasionally if at all in the future it is a good value solution. The spreader is operated by turning a handle on the side which spins a wheel that the contents drop on to and there is an adjustment knob to regulate the flow. The hand grip with the arm rest works well so the arm is taking the weight rather than the wrist. Pulling a trigger opens the exit hole and the flow adjustment just limits the amount it opens. I found that unless I set it to fully open very little seed at all comes out. A further control is the speed of turning the handle which dictates how far out the seed is thrown. The faster you turn the further the seed is thrown so the thinner the coverage tends to be. The flow also drops a little as the level in the hopper reduces. All the above leads to it not being very accurate and that is probably true but it does the job. I think it is better to judge the coverage by knowing the area you wish to cover with a full hopper and go over that area until empty. Also note that the hopper needs a bit of shaking as the level gets low and needs to be leaned a little to encourage the grass to come out. I have not tried it with any other product so it could be that different forms of fertiliser flow easier. The bottom line for me is that I was able to easily spread a known amount of grass seed over a known area and I now have the start of a decent lawn. All without having an expensive piece of kit in the shed which I will probably never use again so it has been really good value for money and did the job intended.

This was great for spreading lawn feed evenly.

Dosierung und Handhabung nicht optimal

Es práctico, pequeño, manejable, esparce perfectamente y de momento no se atranca el abono como en otros que he tenido. Veremos si aguanta el paso del tiempo porque la manivela parece endeble pero de momento cumple con mis expectativas al 100%.

Semé du gazon sur 200 m2. Très bonne dispersion après réglage. Je m'en servirai durant l'hiver pour disperser du sel de déneigement.

Funciona muy bien con el tipo correcto de fertilizante. Exactamente lo que necesitaba para mi jardín. Ayuda a esparcir el fertilizante muy uniformemente, lo que no se puede hacer a mano.
