I have to buy one! 1500 sqm of new turf lawn.
Suggestions would be appreciated as there seems to be plethora of
devices available.



I had a Fisons lawn spreader - wheel which turn a bar under a hopper -
and I never found it effective.
The plastic packs (like a fuel can) with the spout seem to spread
effectively and they can be filled from bulk containers which are much
cheaper than buying more spreader packs.
Tried to Freegle the lawn spreader, then recycled it.
15m * 10m is easily doable with a hand held spreader pack.
