if you were to buy a lawn fertiler spreader, whch one would you get?

W bought an Evergreen Easy Spreader and it is worse than useless
leaving lines of grass un fertilised :-(

We do not have acres of lawn to fertilise so do not need anything too
elaborate.

thank you

It is essential that the spreader has a rotating disc under the bucket to
evenly distribute fertiliser.
I bought a SCOTTS "Speedy Green" Lawn spreader form a garden centre in
Perth, Scotland.
I have a number of friends who bought the "cheap" type and found them
useless and now borrow mine!
Suggest you Goggle for a supplier

Sounds as though you are not lining up the arrows correctly with the
previous run's wheel marks. For a smallish lawn I wouldn't buy another
spreader, I would spend the money on the slow release granular
fertiliser which has spreader built in to the pack.

I use a plastic flowerpot. Cover up a few of the holes and then you scoop up
a load of fertiliser and hold it in front of you, shaking it with a
vigourous circular motion ( so the top of the pot stays relatively still and
the bottom does a cirlce. walk briskly doing this over the lawn in different
directions and you'll get a perfect covering.
