I am just about to seed a 300sq m lawn. Anyone any experience of using
either:
- scattering by hand
- hand powered rotary scatterer
- wheeled seed sower
Any recommendations regarding which of these works best?
thanks

No experience of powered seed sowers but with all three methods I would
always spread seed at half the rate suggested and do the job twice.
300 sq.m.should be a fairly easy hand job.
I'm probably more of a klutz than the average bear, but I've found it
impossible to get an even spread when broadcasting by hand. Rupert is
right: with any method do it twice, and make the second pass at right
angles to the first.
