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

Product Information

The Gardena features a good-sized carry handle that has two of the main controls situated on it. On top is a button you press with your thumb to open up the hole and allow the contents to flow through to the spreading mechanism, and on the front of the handle is a selector switch with four settings that controls how much fertilizer will be allowed to pass through when the thumb button is pressed. In summary, if 'Weed and Feed' worked reliably and consistently, professionals would use it and we would sell it! In the heat of an English summer, the grass won’t be growing – in fact, it’s more likely to be scorched by any fertilisers. Stop feeding your lawn during prolonged dry spells, and once there’s been a good rainfall, wait a few days then feed again. Aim to feed the lawn every six to eight weeks throughout the summer.

The construction is a mix of metal and plastic, with plastic wheels and tank fixed onto metal handles. The handles can be folded down for storage purposes but unfortunately, the height of them can’t be adjusted. Having said that, they come up about a metre tall, so it’s not like they are overly short to begin with. The Handy 50lb Wheeled Lawn and Fertiliser Spreader– Professionals choice and designed for commercial / heavy duty work Generally speaking, it’s not as hard to push a broadcast spreader as a drop spreader. The speed of distribution is determined by your pace. All the parts just push fit together the wheels push on easily, the handle and extensions are all riveted together and slot in. I would say pushing those bits all together took me less than two minutes quite honestly. Here’s a look at that: The rivets just snap together when assembling my lawn spreader To control weeds on lawns before the new grass is established, consider alternative measures like spot treatments. You can also manually uproot the weed plants if the infestation is still in the early stages.

Is it Safe to Walk on New Seedlings?

This lawn feed is particularly effective when used in the autumn through until spring for ridding your lawn of worm casts too, as the slimy remnants can make mowing the grass rather muddy and slippery. Pre-emergent herbicides, on the other hand, are formulated to inhibit seed germination by forming a chemical barricade atop the soil. Thus, if you plant your grass seed soon after applying a weed and feed with a pre-emergent herbicide, they won’t sprout as the herbicide will still be in the soil. If however, the weather is likely to be dry, windy or warm or you cannot water then always feed once the seed has germinated. Use the Starter Fertiliser for this. Feeding the New Seeded Lawn – Covered

The feeder hole in the bottom of the 18 litre capacity hopper is opened and closed using an ergonomically designed trigger found on the handlebars. I really liked the way this worked and felt very natural when you used it. You’ll have a lot more control with a drop spreader, but it will take you longer to spread seeds or fertiliser across a whole area. Even with the cover in place, it’s still possible to keep an eye on how much product is left, because the transparent material provides a window into the hopper – so, overall, there’s a definite sensation that the designers of this large lawn spreader had first-hand experience using these kinds of tools. There are general fertilizers that may burn sensitive species of grass. So, always ensure that you choose the right formulation before you go home and kill your entire lawn. We recommend a slow-release formula for established laws.

To use this product at its optimum, Evergreen suggests that you walk at a pace of about 1 metre per second, but going a little slower had no noticeable negative effects, so don’t worry if you’re not exactly the Usain Bolt of the gardening world. But this is subjective as the wheels are directly connected to the turnstile so if you walk slower you’ll get the same release I found from testing, so not quite sure what they mean – just take your time – the speed my daughter demos worked absolutely fine for seed… Read on below and our buyer’s guide will try to provide the answers to these questions and more.
