Hi folks, can anyone suggest a good method of preventing the contents of
a lawn spreader from going onto the border area, e.g. when applying
grass seed, fertilizer or lawn weed/moss killer.
Is it a case of positioning your self a required distance (based on the
spray diameter I would assume) from the lawn edge, is this consistent?
Or are there better, more surer methods than this?
I have found I am getting a fair amount of new grass growth in my
border areas , due to recent re-seeding. Also this could be quite a
problem when using lawn weed killer.



I had this problem when we had a large garden and used the Flymo :-(( and
the chuck out of cut grass into the borders.

Solved it by sticking canes/sticks/anything of the like around the edge and
draping same with old dust sheets, blankets, sheets of polythene etc..

Sounds like more work than it's worth, but really isn't. Doesn't take
tooooooooo long to erect/dismatle and move to the next area :-)) and that is
if you have to do it yourself and don't have someone to hold a board as
someone else has suggested :-))

Mike
