Details & Usage How to use The Miracle-Gro® Drop Spreader creates a controlled strip of seed or granules directly beneath the spreader as you walk. The treatment strip is approximately 45cm (18in) wide. Fill the hopper with the lawn seed or suitable granular lawn treatment. Select the correct spreader setting for the product being applied. Begin walking at a steady pace and squeeze the on/off grip handle to begin application. Release the grip handle at the end of each strip to stop the flow before turning. Continue up and down the lawn in parallel strips to achieve consistent coverage. How to achieve an even application When completing each strip, use the tyre marks from the previous pass as a guide. Align the arrow on the hopper above the tyre marks from the previous strip before beginning the next pass. This helps maintain an even spacing between treatment strips and reduces the risk of gaps or excessive overlap. Variable spreader settings Different grass seeds and granular lawn care products require different application rates. Adjust the spreader setting according to the specific product being used. Always check the recommended spreader setting and application rate before beginning treatment.
