good spreader but spreading rate questionable
Quick delivery, easy assembly, strong construction, and adjustable spreading rate a good feature. However, I do not think that the spreading rate was accurate. I used the correct setting for a named fertiliser, having measure the lawn area. I used over twice the quantity of fertiliser expected, which is costly. This was more than could be accounted for by possible slight overlap and minor spillage. At least I can check spreading rate next time by going over a polythene sheet and weighing. The spreading rate can then be adjusted for all future uses.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy-ish to use
Bought this to spread lawn sand but it did not work. It was easy to put together, and the instructions are pretty simple in that you fill it, set it at the right spread rate and walk up and down your lawn. Except that the only rates they give you are for their own products. You get a little leaflet with various Evergreen products, and the correct setting to use for the different spreaders they make. There was one for lawn sand but it was for a different spreader. I contacted Evergreen who informed me that this spreader had not been tested with lawn sand but to measure a plastic sheet to 1 sq mt, fill the spreader with the correct amount of sand and see if it covers the sheet, adjusting it until I get the correct setting. This did not work as the sand gets stuck in the mechanism, a plastic sliding bar with holes in, starts to jam up and while you are trying to close it the sand is pouring out of the bottom. In the end I gave up, as I thought I was going to break the plastic setting knob. I have since tried it with their grass seed and that seemed to work a little better, although I am not overly impressed as, although I used Evergreen grass seed it did not give the setting for it on the leaflet nor on the seed box, so again it was a bit hit and miss with guesswork. I might end up selling it on.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not so easy spreader!
Having tried the spreader only once, I was immediately concerned with the amount of fertiliser being used. I rang Scotts' advice line, who advised me that I should be starting each run by bending down to set the rate gauge, at the same time moving off at a good walking pace! And I should then move the lever back to zero at the end of each run. They also suggested I check the flow rate of the machine, by spreading a sheet of plastic on the ground and collecting the fertiliser. This I did, and the very action of setting the lever, walking two metres and bending down to switch the lever to 'off', resulted in over twice the recommended flow rate. The excess comes at the beginning and end of each run, when the spreader is stationary. Fortunately I have borders at both ends of the lawn, where you can see the small piles of product being wasted. If you have a lawn which requires several short runs, the waste really builds up. I contacted Scotts again, who could only repeat their previous advice, which is of little use to a 70 year old! They did tell me that they do produce a spreader ( more expensive) where you can set the flow rate first, then operate a start control on the handle as you move off. OK, this spreader did not cost the Earth, and I have yet to decide what to do with it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good design and easy to use
Old designs tended to clog easily but this spreader seems better designed so that it doesn't. It is wider than I expected making treatment a quick process on typical lawns - useful in unpredictable summers when ideal times between rain days are scarce and spare time is equally scarce.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good value at the right price.
At the right price this is good value and delivers the right amount of Evergreen 4 in one evenly . 4 star rating automatically says better than expected where as it was what I had expected as I had one for a few years previously. The metal where the wheels attach rusted right through after several years but I think that this has been rectified in this new model. If you have large areas of lawn a spreader such as this , I would say , is essential.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

robust but easy to use
worked far better than a previous one of another make. too much lawn feed/ weed control came out with any settings above 2/3 .good for spreading seed and dressing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

easy to use spreader
With a large hopper capacity and good width, this spreader covered a large area, using 3 large bags of granules in just a couple of hours. An easy job. JohnVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Improvement over previous versions. Less metal should mean less corrosion.
Does as expected. The settings are not in g/m2 but if you cross check the table of settings for specific Evergreen products, then I worked out that 4 = 30g/m2 and 4.5=35g/m2. Just done the lawn and washing out with the hose was easy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Evergreens seed & fertilizer spreader
I bought this spreader of Ebay not very expensive £19.99, I did not have much hope for it at first but having used it a few times I have realised how good and well built it is saying its all plastic, the only fault I have found you have to keep bending down to adjust the feed rate / shut of leaver, it would have been better to have the stop handle up on the top of the handle bar, being able to shut of the feed off stops overlap makes a better looking lawn apart from this little fault its a very good tool for feeding your lawnVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
