When to use Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec The spreader can be used throughout the year for a variety of lawn care tasks. It can be used when seeding new lawn areas, feeding and fertilising lawns, treating moss and applying suitable granular weed-control products. Always follow the timing instructions on the lawn care product being applied. Details & Usage How to use The Miracle-Gro® Rotary Spreader throws granules evenly in front of the moving spreader, creating a broad treatment strip approximately 3 metres (10 feet) wide. Fill the hopper with the suitable lawn food, lawn treatment or grass seed product. Select the appropriate spreader setting for the product being used. Begin walking at a steady pace and use the on/off grip handle to start the flow of granules. At the end of each strip, release the grip handle to stop the application before turning. Continue across the area in parallel strips, overlapping each pass slightly to help achieve even coverage. How to achieve an even application The outer edges of each spread strip receive slightly fewer granules than the central area. For this reason, overlap each strip by approximately 30cm (1 foot). This helps provide consistent coverage and more even greening across the entire treated area. Easy start and stop control The on/off grip handle allows the flow of granules to be controlled accurately while walking. This makes it easier to stop application at the end of each strip before turning the spreader.
