This category includes versatile and convenient products suitable for everyday use. In fact, these battery-powered machines can act as both a fertiliser spreader and a salt spreader, for effective and useful results.
Fertilising the lawn provides it with the right nutrients in order to obtain a beautiful and healthy crop.
Very frequently these nutrients tend to run out, often due to human intervention interfering with its balance.
Its main functions, therefore, are to encourage the growth of fresh grass, to reinvigorate the seedlings in the turf so that they can take root and get water, and finally to improve the soil characteristics.
The ideal procedure would be to fertilise twice a year: in autumn and in spring.
Usually March is the most suitable month for fertilising, as temperatures start to rise but are not yet too high.
How is it possible to effectively spread fertiliser on the lawn? If the lawn is small/medium-sized, it will be possible to spread the fertiliser directly by hand, whereas in case of larger lawns, it would be necessary to use a more functional machine.
The most important thing to avoid is to spread the fertiliser unevenly, because firstly you will not get satisfying results and secondly because there may also be a risk of drying the areas of the lawn where spreaded too much fertiliser.
Another convenient function of the machines in this category is to spread salt.
During winter, they can be really useful for reducing or even avoiding the inconvenience caused by icy roads and driveways.
Spreading salt evenly over a surface prevents the ice formation on the walkways, especially the ones closer to your home.
