To repair bumps, add Miracle-Gro Evergreen Lawn Dressing into the hollows, then compact and use seed to repair the lawn. It’s worth mentioning that the manufacturer recommends using this spreader with Scotts Lawn Builder, Miracle-Gro and Evergreen lawn care and/or grass seed products only. However, it will work just fine with any brand of grass seed products and fertilisers. ProsThe lawn dressing should be spread evenly so that depressions are filled and no new humps are created.

The risk of making your own top dressing can lead to weeds, the wrong ratio and also using the wrong type of sand – it must be lime free. On clay or waterloggedsoil, it’s better touse a hollow-tined aerator, whichmakes wider holes that are even more effective at letting air and moisture into the lawn’s root zone and relieving compaction.The hollow tinesextract plugs of soil–simply sweep these up, then rake a top-dressing (see below) into the holes to improve the soil structure.This is best doneevery three to four years So now for the bit that really matters, how easy is it to use and is it accurate. Well, I can tell you it’s as accurate as any of the other drop spreaders and more accurate than a rotatory spreader, especially right against the edge of a lawn. I like that all the controls are on the handle of the spreader attached to the cable. You open and close the spreading disc from there. You can also select how much area the spreader covers, but you need to manually adjust the cover plate for that. But this feature lets you spread close to the edges of the lawn and is super handy. What I like is that you can close the hopper opening from the handle so that no product is wasted when you make turns or stop. This is not the case with most other models and can lead to burnt areas of grass if you’re not careful. Pros Once you have completed the application the lawn will need to be watered. For any badly damaged lawns the process can be repeated regularly with light applications and for general lawn maintenance do this once a year.The build quality is amazing. This Solo 421 9kg Manual Spreader is a professional-grade piece of equipment. The alturnative spreaders for the home gardener don’t even come close to this spreader in terms of build quality. This is clearly designed to last a lifetime, but if I had to replace it, I would get one again. You should avoid mowing your lawn during the winter months so as not to cause any damage. The cold weather will prevent your grass from growing, so any mowing of your lawn is not necessary. It’s best to wait until the beginning of spring to start cutting your grass. Use this time to clean and prepare your mowing equipment for the next season.
