EverGreen Scotts EasyGreen Rotary spreader, Grass and Lawn Seed Spreader, for easy application of lawn products and grass seed, 290.0 mm*600.0 mm*330.0 mm

This is the first rotary spreader I have bought and I wish I had bought it years ago. Previously I have used the spreaders where a bar at the base opens and closes and whatever it is you want to spread falls out. The rotary spreader is easier and very much faster. A lever fitted to the handle is squeezed to open a sliding door in the base and the lawn feed or moss killer drops onto a rotating disc (driven by the wheels) and is flung out in front and to the sides. You can walk at any speed; I tried running and it still worked although it became harder to keep it in a straight line. It just gets the job done in no time at all. There is a device fitted to the lever that allows the door in the base to open up more or less depending on the amount to be spread per area.Sometimes it is difficult to assess how far away from your last row that the next row should be so that the overlap is not too much but I normally err on being closer rather than further away and it seems to be OK.The results are very, very good, the lever allows you to walk without spreading whereas before I had to lift the other spreaders and I may have mentioned that it is much, much faster.Order one now - it will improve your life.

I am giving this a 5 star review on the basis of its price (very reasonable) and effectiveness (which surprised me).Compared to my old drop spreader if provided a very even spread. Ten days after spreading, the fertilizer the grass has greened up nicely. With the old drop spreader you could see the lines where I had traveled quite clearly. With this spreader you see none of that. Its totally even, even though at times I got a little lost on where I had been and had not been.The ground in my garden is a little uneven. The spreader coped with it well. I was a little worried from the pictures that the handles would be a little low and I would end up walking along hunched over. But once again it was fine. It is also worth saying how easy this was to assemble....literally 2 minutes.In the interests of balance I must say I have serious doubts how long it will last. But given its price, it still represents excellent value. I have used it twice. My garden in 1/3 acre. I covered that in 30 minutes. I will let you know how long it lasts. For now though, very happy.

It''s a reliable tool for spreading grass seed and lawn care products evenly. It’s easy to use, with adjustable settings that ensure precise application. The spreader’s wide coverage area saves time and effort, making lawn maintenance a breeze. However, it is on the pricier side, so if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, you might want to consider other options. Despite the cost, its durability and efficiency make it a worthwhile investment for serious gardeners.

This review is for the Rotary Spreader.Having previously owned both the Drop Spreader and the Easy Spreader, I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of these things. The Rotary Spreader is the easiest and quickest to use. Because it sprays the granules out over a large area, you don't have to be quite as precise as with the other two spreaders.The product came pre-assembled, so you are ready to go in no time. It comes with simple instructions with pictures, explaining exactly how to get the best outcome for your lawn with this device.The broadcast of the spreader (how far it sprays to the sides) is about 2 metres if you walk with a quick pace. Because of this, it is suitable for medium to large sized gardens.I find this Rotary Spreader more forgiving than the other two spreaders to use. No matter how closely I followed the instructions, I always ended up with scorched grass when I used the Drop Spreader and the Easy Spreader. Not so with the Rotary Spreader.Scotts lawn fertilizers often contain ferrous sulfate (moss killer) which is highly corrosive to metals, so after each use, give your spreader a good hose down, and then spray WD-40 onto the metal parts to prevent corrosion and to extend its life.

Easy to use and spreads the feed over a large area so it is quick to use. It is important to clean any left over fertilizer/weed killer off the metal parts when the job is finished, otherwise the metal parts will rot. This is the second one I have had of these, but only because I did not clean the bits of fertilizer off the metal parts of the original one and it collapsed after some of the metal parts rotted/rusted through. I chose to buy the same again since it so easy to use, and so much better than a 'dropping' type feeder which I had before. These get blocked very easily and take to long to use since they only drop over a small width, unlike the rotary spreader type. The Scotts one probably spreads over about 2 metres, depending on how quickly you push. Saving a small amount of money buying a dropping type spreader is a false economy, since the rotary type save so much time. The rotary type is also so much easier to use since you don't have to be so careful about overlapping as you do with the dropping type. The long and short of it is: Don't buy a dropping type!

I bought this again even though my previous experience of it was not that good. I will make sure I maintain the new one better. As you can see from the photo attached, after a couple of years use , a wheel dropped off the old one after it rusted through and broke off .I liked using it when it was operational and it did a good job this my reason for buying it again.
