Product Information

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. When it comes to setting the distribution rate, the process is very straight forward. The spread rate can be adjusted using the yellow indicator that’s positioned by the hopper – it clearly states which setting is selected and takes a lot of the guesswork out of product spreading.

Please be aware that the battery and charger don’t come with the feeder as standard, and you will have to pay extra for them, quite a bit extra actually, and that is the biggest flaw of the Einhell Power X-change feeder. It’s an excellent product and gives you a really even and uniform spread. It is also very easy to use and requires no physical shaking or turning of handles either. However, it is quite expensive when you compare it to other handheld lawn feed spreaders, and I think that unless you have money to burn, or you plan on using more tools from the same range, the price might put you off. Ideally, you want to find the perfect balance between ‘as few refills as possible’ and ‘maintaining manoeuvrability’. This will depend on the size of your lawn and the density of product that you want to spread.While most lawn feed spreaders are quite basic tools, with few moving parts, there’s nothing wrong with going a bit more ‘hi-tech’ with the Power X-change feeder from Einhell. A good choice for Smaller lawns where you have to be careful about the spread, and top-class quality materials make this Gardena product well worth a look. If you’re a resident of the northern United States, this product is the best choice for weeding, feeding, and protecting your lawn.

Just in front of the wide, rubber gripped, handles there is a good-sized, and clearly marked spread rate adjustment lever. This too is made of strong steel, but with a plastic grip for comfort, and is highly unlikely to become damaged or worn any time soon. Of course, the correct setting will depend on a lot of different factors, including your stride length, so there will likely be a certain amount of trial-and-error when you first start using your spreader. Arriving almost fully assembled, you can have this lawn feed spreader out of the box and on your lawn in a matter of minutes. The runner up to this product is the Preen One Lawncare Weed and Feed formulation. This product is another premium choice that will suit any garden. This fertilizer only needs application once every eight weeks, and it’s suitable for the first two feedings of the season.

By contrast set to 0 is practically closed, ideal if you’re loading up in the shed and then walking your unit to your lawn – this makes keeping your seed and fertiliser in the shed all the easier: In most cases, you need a first feeding in the early spring, followed by another in mid to late May as the summer approaches. Then, continue feeding every six to eight weeks until the end of October. Let the ground rest over the winter, and repeat the cycle the following spring. Can I use weed and feed on trees and shrubs? With most products, you want to apply weed and feed to your yard in the spring after the weeds start popping up. If the spring application doesn’t remove all the weeds, and you think you must apply it again, wait until fall to apply a second dose. These are the two main types of lawn spreader available. Depending on your garden, and preferences, one may suit you better than the other. Both spread grass seed and fertiliser. Rotary Spreaders

Note: These tips are not intended to replace the manufacturer’s instructions. Always follow the Even though I said it’s okay to apply weed and feed to your lawn again come fall, there are a couple of critical considerations you must think about before doing so. 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. Their placement is very uniform because they will only drop seeds through the hole in the base of the unit’s hopper.As you can imagine, there’s a bit of a workout involved in pushing this fertiliser spreader around, especially when it’s full; the unit alone weighs 12.3 kg. However, it’s a great option for gardeners who don’t want to keep stopping and starting to top up the spreader.

The hopper has been made out of polypropylene for durability reasons and is a very resilient and hard-wearing material in of itself, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t last as long as the rest of this robust tool. Be aware that artificial fertilisers take a lot of energy to manufacture and may have detrimental effects on the environment, so only apply if required and use the minimum amount to keep your grass in good shape – see our guide to using fertilisersand our guide to organic gardening The manual that comes with this spreader isn’t the best quality but it does give you the best settings to use for various products, which is very helpful if this is your first lawn feed spreader.You just can’t go wrong really – There’s no way you can justify the extra of the Scotts when you compare the price and how much you’ll use it, unless it’s for commercial purposes. Then read on to the Scotts lawn spreader as I compare and test them. However, it is still a very good lawn feeder spreader for the price and if used as intended, it does a great job.
