EverGreen 400sqm Complete 4-in-1 Lawn Care, Lawn Food, Weed and Moss Killer Bag

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. This last point is referred to by Miracle-Gro as their ‘WaterSmart’ formula – it encourages the absorption of water and nutrients into the grass which can help protect it from drought and general stresses resulting from poor conditions. The thing is, that this lawn feed spreader comes in quite a lot of different parts and takes a while to assemble. Not only that, but the instructions aren’t the clearest on some of the assembly points and it does lead to a little frustration. We think one of the reasons why we had such a great experience with this product is its mico-granule formula, which allows the nutrients to be released gradually over 6 weeks. Unlike liquid fertilisers, this granular fertiliser is slow-release and provides better, long-lasting results – but it doesn’t take months to make a difference, as some larger pellet fertilisers do. 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.

Again, we’re pleased with the formula of the Proctors Autumn And Winter Grass Feed – it contains exactly the right ingredients to protect a lawn over the autumn and winter months and reduce problems associated with cold weather/high rainfall. Since the goal of an autumn/winter fertiliser is to support healthy root growth, the feed has a low nitrogen content (only 3%) and is higher in phosphorous for root development and potassium for disease protection. You don’t need to spend extra money on a lawn feed that can control moss and weeds if this isn’t a problem on your lawn. But we do recommend a weed and moss killer if you’ve noticed that weeds and moss are present – especially if you’re treating your lawn in the autumn/winter season, when wet, cold weather conditions make moss a more likely problem. Autumn and winter feeds should be lower in nitrogen and higher in iron sulphate, which provides more focused root development and helps keep weeds and moss at bay during the damp, cool seasons. More than 2,800 customers have awarded the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care Spreader an average star rating of 4.4. Customers said that the feed was “a good feed for your autumn lawn” and “easy to use and spread”. One reviewer said they’ve been using this last feed for years and noted that it helped stop the creep of moss and improved their lawn’s ability to withstand the winter. Where Gardena has lived up to their name is with the overall build quality of this lawn feed spreader, which is excellent.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

The Envii Greenkeeper’s Autumn Fertiliser has a 4.3 star rating out of 5. Customers said that the fertiliser was “simple to use” and “does what it says”. Reviewers were pleased with the conciseness of the instructions and online support. The Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care Fertiliser is specially formulated for treating common autumn lawn issues and preparing grass for the colder winter months. It’s lower in nitrate than spring-summer feeds because you want to reduce leaf growth as winter approaches, but its seaweed content encourages healthy root development and its iron content kills moss, which is usually at its worst in October-November. Ultimately, the best choice for you depends on your specific lawn needs, as well as your gardening philosophy and environmental concerns.

Having a soluble formula also means that there is less likelihood of scorching – this happens when a high concentration of product is applied to one place and burns it and is more common with granules. You could think of a lawn feed spreader as a wheelbarrow with holes but much more sophisticated at evenly spreading. A lawn feed spreader is a tool used to help you spread lawn feed faster, and more evenly than you could, just using your hands. Whether it is a small, handheld lawn feed spreader, or a larger version that is mounted on wheels, they basically made up of some kind of container that you fill with seeds or feed and a section that is used for dispersing the contents around your garden. It is important to note that these products are only meant to be used with granular lawn feed, so if you are planning on using a liquid-based fertiliser, you’d be better off shopping for a good garden sprayer or watering can instead.
