Three spreaders to make the application of fertilizers and easier job

The lawns are growing apace, but to keep them looking their best they need regular feeding and treatment to stop the weeds from getting a hold and to promote growth.
It is very hard to spread these products evenly by hand and spreaders can make the job much easier and give better results.
There are all types of spreaders available, see our web pages for fuller details, but here are three simple spreaders giving great results and great value for money.

The MD 60LB Drop Spreader can hold 27 kg in a corrosion proof spreader and has a width of 56 cm.
It can be used for spreading fertilizers and grass seed as well. And the machine can be used all the year round as it is useful in the winter for spreading ice melt. It is also just the right width for garden paths.
A lever on the handlebar lets you regulate the amount spread.
It costs £49.95 compared with the maker’s recommended retail price of £79.95, is delivered free the next working day and has a one year manufacturer’s warranty.
The MD THS80 Walk-Behind Spreader is the machine you want for larger areas as it has a capacity of 36 kg and is simplicity itself to use.
A hopper screen keeps the products flowing smoothly and the flow rate is con rolled by a lever on the handlebars.It can spread up to three metres making it suitable for a larger lawn.
The frame is made from powder coated steel and the wheels are deeply patterned for better grip, especially useful in the winter when spreading salt and ice melts.
The folding handlebar means it takes less room in the shed when not in use.
It costs £89.95 as against the maker’s recommended price of £129.95 and has free next working day delivery.
There are also special offers on MO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertilizer (7.5kg bag) at £19.99, MO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertilizer (20kg bag) at £38.99, Green Comfort Organic Fertilizer (20kg bag) at £33.34, Recovery Organic Fertilizer (20 kg bag) for £41.67 and Bio Lime Organic Fertilizer (20 kg bag) for £21.42.
And if you are lucky to own a lawn tractor or ride-on then the MD 80T Towable Broadcast Spreader is an ideal little machine.
It can hold 29 litres in a polypropylene hopper and the spinning plate under the machine can spread the fertilizers between three and 3.6 metres depending on the speed at which you are driving.
The flow rate is simply controlled with a lever at the front of the machine which can be altered from the driving seat.
The spreader is driven by nylon gears which resist corrosion. And it is towed by a long tow bar fitted with a hitch pin.
It has good stability thanks to deeply patterned tyres.
It costs just £79.95, is delivered free the next working day. Plus there is a two year warranty from the manufacturers.
