We're already fans of anyone who is prepared to maintain a lawn, let alone a garden. These days, with popular trends for everything from plastic grass to fake hedges, if you have a garden, it is virtually a mini-nature reserve. Keeping your lawn looking great doesn't come without any work at all, of course, and we're here to make it easy.
Our range of garden spreaders are just the ticket and come with all the features you'd expect to give you the results you want. We are offering you some tips for using one if you've never used one before, and if you have, well, maybe you'll pick something up, too.
TOP TIPS FOR PARKERBRAND SPREADERS
Our spreaders are broadcast spreaders, ideal for quickly covering large areas. They can be used for (grass) seeds, feed, or salt in the winter.
Before you start, ensure that you have read the manual. Then, turn the kettle on and give it a browse.
- Fill your spreader away from grass and soil. Any spills will have a negative effect on your lawn or soil and may 'burn' your lawn. No matter what you are spreading, it'll obviously be easier to brush up spills on paving on concrete.
- Start at the edges of your lawn walking at an average pace. You can change the flow rate on your PHPS-97/ PHPS-70 spreader, but no matter what setting you use, you only need to walk at your normal pace. When you've come to the end of the first 'length' be sure to turn off the flow while you manoeuvre the spreader for the return 'length'. Why? Doing so means avoiding concentrated feed or seeds in one small area, which is to be avoided!
- To ensure good coverage, overlap the path of each 'length' by the width of the wheel. This will ensure coverage without a gap.
It is ESSENTIAL that you water your lawn after seeding or feeding. In the latter case, it allows more nutrients from the feed to be absorbed by the soil. In the former, it helps the seeds swell and accelerate the germination process.
Winter Use: Spread Salt
These spreaders are the business if you want your ice and snow-free drives, footpaths, outdoor areas, and doorways during heavy winter weather. All of our spreaders are highly effective and as straightforward as if you were feeding or seeding. Load up with salt, adjust the flow and spread salt where required. You'll have plenty of traction from the wheels on your spreader, but as ever, pay attention to footwear whenever you are working on any sloping ground. Be sure to wipe out the loading bucket on your spreader.
