Establishing a new lawn or re-seeding a patchy one can be fairly fiddly and time-consuming \u2013 especially if you\u2019ve got a lot of ground to cover. Getting an even spread is vital if you want healthy and smart-looking turf.<\/p>\n

Luckily, lawn spreaders can make the job much easier \u2013 and many are available for under \u00a360. These manual, hand-operated tools<\/a> drop or spray out your lawn seed efficiently, making it easier to cover every inch of ground.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got a lawn spreader in your tool shed<\/a>, you can also use it to distribute fertiliser, feed<\/a> and de-icing grit throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Drop vs. rotary lawn spreaders<\/h3>\n

Lawn spreaders come in the form of small, hand-held tools and larger push-along devices on wheels, which normally use either a \u2018drop\u2019 or a \u2018rotary\u2019 (sometimes called \u2018broadcast\u2019) mechanism. So, what\u2019s the difference?<\/p>\n
