When returning, align the arrow on the hopper above the tyre marks made in the previous strip.

A4: Overseeding or reseeding patches can be done 8 weeks after using Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Complete 4 in 1.

Q2: Do I open the hopper (the container which holds the granules) first, then turn the spinner or the other way round? Q1: When can children and pets return to a lawn treated with Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care?Do not walk on the treated area and keep children and pets away from the area until the product is thoroughly watered in and the grass is completely dry to stop it transferring onto other surfaces. Sweep up any spillages and dispose of carefully. Watering in: If no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work. Working hard to make your lawn its best self includes having the right tools and equipment for each task. Spreading granular lawn care products on your lawn is best done with a lawn spreader. This piece of equipment is not expensive and it ensures even coverage of fertiliser and other care products, along with grass seeds. Not evenly covering your lawn can lead to patchy spots and, even worse, long term harm. If you’re investing time and effort for a verdant and vibrant lawn, let a lawn spreader help out. 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. The below spreader settings will give you guidance on which to use for all our grass seed products. As of publishing, these are:

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. ProsAs you walk up and down the lawn, the product will drop out in a controlled manner between the wheels, you can usually see a wheel line left in the grass enabling you to line up the lawn spreader with the previous row and avoid over-lapping. The main benefit to a drop lawn spreader is that it will give the most accurate and even distribution of lawn care products. Usually regulated by the pace you walk at and the size of the opening on the base of the spreaders hopper, the best drop lawn spreaders will have a good range of settings and at the top end of the market you will get a control mechanism on the top of the spreader handle, enabling you to shut the spreader off and stop the product from being dispensed - especially useful to avoid over-application at the end of each row and forgetting the spreader to and from the lawn.
