Why not just borrow one from the place you buy the stuf you are going to
spread. That's what I have always done.

But then you'd have to take it back within a few days and you might not
get round to actually doing the spreading for a week or so!
I'd be interested in any recommendations as well if anyone's got them
for spreaders.

The borrowing idea is okay if you live next door to a garden centre but
it's not for me.

After a little research I bought a:
Scotts EvenGreen Drop Spreader. I got it from Amazon as that was
cheaper than the competition and had free delivery.


Thats exactly what my supplier lends me. It works well but it's sometimes
hard to see where you have been as you have to rely on the wheel marks on
the grass.


I agree. I used the wheel marks for guidance. Cheaper to run a Range Rover!
I got through 3 bags (£20 each) in about half an hour.
