Scotts Handy Green 2 Manual Spreader

Q & A

How do I get the best results?

The best way to get good results with a granular fertiliser is to apply it evenly. In an environment where green stripes may show up on the tv, sports turf managers will halve the rate and travel in two different directions to reduce any “stripes”. Another great way to ensure consistent results is to ensure the fertiliser is well watered in, as the fertiliser is taken up in water, through the roots of the soils. This can be helped with a wetting agent like Lawn Play Aquaturf.

What settings should I use?

It all depends on how fast you can turn the handle and walk. That is, you can have a high setting, walk fast and turn the handle fast (which spreads the fertiliser wide), allowing you to get over the lawn quickly. If however you have a small lawn with alot of gardens it’s better to start with a low setting and turn the handle just fast enough for an even spread.
