EverGreen 400sqm Complete 4-in-1 Lawn Care, Lawn Food, Weed and Moss Killer Bag

Product Information

Folks who want the best lawn feed to use throughout autumn and winter to protect their lawn over the cold seasons and prepare it for spring and summer. This is correct – but it doesn’t mean that your grass won’t benefit from an extra boost of nutrients from an external source. Throughout our tests this model didn’t get jammed a single time, I think due to the hole where the feed goes through onto the spinning component as it is larger than what you sometimes see with these kinds of products. And it’s not only fertiliser that can be used with this spreader. You can also use it for distributing road salt on your drive and path in winter, for spreading seeds, and even sand.

These nutrients also help grass to survive extreme weather conditions, like dry, blazing hot summers (i.e. our two-week summer heatwave in the UK). By contrast set to 0 is practically closed, ideal if you’re loading up in the shed and then walking your unit to your lawn – this makes keeping your seed and fertiliser in the shed all the easier:Of course, the correct setting will depend on a lot of different factors, including your stride length, so there will likely be a certain amount of trial-and-error when you first start using your spreader. The feeder hole in the bottom of the 18 litre capacity hopper is opened and closed using an ergonomically designed trigger found on the handlebars. I really liked the way this worked and felt very natural when you used it. Some of the best-designed lawn feeds are more than just a moss killer – they also harden the turf to reduce the likelihood of lawn diseases like powdery mildew and brown patch. This further supports your lawn health and maintains its green, uniform appearance, and should also reduce worm casts. The construction is a mix of metal and plastic, with plastic wheels and tank fixed onto metal handles. The handles can be folded down for storage purposes but unfortunately, the height of them can’t be adjusted. Having said that, they come up about a metre tall, so it’s not like they are overly short to begin with.

Unlike our other Scotts product review, this one is a drop spreader and works in a slightly different way. Where a rotary spreader will use a turntable to throw the fertiliser, weed killer, etc. out in multiple directions, a drop spreader distributes the contents of the hopper straight down.

It’s also super easy to use – it can be mixed with water (100ml to 5 litres of water) and watered straight onto your lawn with a watering can. Making sure your soil’s pH levels are optimal is essential because this makes the fertiliser available to the plant. A pH of 6-7 is the slightly acidic range that grass prefers. Incorrect soil pH may affect the availability of nutrients that the grass plants can absorb, so even if you apply feed, it might not make much difference. As a result, this lawn spreader is versatile to use with a lot of different lawn products, and for a variety of uses too. I have to be honest and say that I wish that Evergreen had used metal for the spread controls instead of plastic, but as long as you’re not super heavy-handed, the plastic is decent enough quality not to break easily. The adjustment is very simple, the higher the number, the wider the holes in the bottom of the hopper – when set to 9 you can see cear daylight through and will be releasing a lot of seed or feed: As we mentioned above, the best autumn lawn food should have a higher potassium and phosphorous content than a spring/summer or year-round lawn fertiliser.

It’s rare to find a lawn feed that has worked so consistently and reliably for the majority of customers. It’s suitable for use from March to October (you only need to apply it once a month, maximum), so you can keep your lawn in tip-top condition from spring to autumn. In terms of moss, within two weeks of applying the product, the moss will have died and be ready to rake. As with all moss killers, this may result in some sparse patches directly after raking; however, grass will soon spread into bare areas. Fortunately, Evergreen’s Scotts EasyGreen Rotary Spreaderstrikes a good compromise between practicality and affordability.As you probably guessed by the name of the product, this spreader has been designed to be held in the hand and so has compact dimensions and very little weight. To be perfectly accurate, it measures 29cm high, 22cm long, and just under 20 cm wide, and weighs in at 610 grams. It’s easy to apply this Miracle-Gro lawn food. It’s a granule formula, so you don’t need to mix or dilute it first. Just add the feed to your lawn spreader or buy the product in a spreader bottle, which helps distribute the fertiliser more evenly. You can find out the feed coverage area, the product price, and the scope and frequency of application, from the product description. When it comes to setting the distribution rate, the process is very straight forward. The spread rate can be adjusted using the yellow indicator that’s positioned by the hopper – it clearly states which setting is selected and takes a lot of the guesswork out of product spreading.
