Compost Spreaders
Spreading fertiliser is an absolutely necessary operation for achieving optimal results and making your lawn, flowers or fruit grow properly and luxuriantly on your land.
The compost spreader is a tool that can simplify and reduce the time of many operations.
When should it be used?
The use of a fertiliser spreader is necessary when dealing with fairly large areas, while it is indispensable for a medium to large lawn.
The operating width of each model is shown in the product description, so as to give an idea of its operating capacity, which generally varies between 2 and 3 m, with which you can cover an area equivalent to a football pitch in a few minutes.
Why should I buy a compost spreader?
Buying a high quality compost spreader for your gardening operations will ensure you many advantages:
- Considerable time savings: Using a compost spreader will help you spreading fertiliser on the ground much faster than manually;
- Skin protection: Fertilisers may not be totally natural, being more or less aggressive in contact with the skin.
While these substances provide excellent nutrition for the plant, they can also create considerable problems for the operator if in contact with the skin; - Uniform spreading: A fertiliser spreader will allow to spread uniformly the fertiliser all over the ground.
Compost spreader models on the market
Different models of compost spreaders are available on the market, all suitable for the different needs of each operator:
- Manual compost spreaders: these are the most suitable models for small gardens, or for spreading fertiliser in small areas where needed.
These models are light, easy to use and feature also a high quality/price ratio, but on the downside the performance ensured is limited. - Battery-powered compost spreaders: These models can also be considered a sub-category of manual fertiliser spreaders.
In fact they can also be transported by hand, offering high performance, but strictly limited by the capacity of the batteries supplied; - Trailer compost spreaders: These are the models that can usually be towed by riding-on mowers, for much faster and wider working width.
How to choose the best compost spreader
Choosing the model of fertiliser spreader that best suit your needs can be a complicated choice, so let's take a look at the most important aspects to consider when purchasing a compost spreader:
- Construction material: A spreader can be made of different materials, although usually the most commonly used are steel or plastic, for ensuring a better quality/price ratio;
- Weight and size: A large machine makes it possible to operate on a larger ground without having to refill the fertiliser tank several times. However, it must be considered that larger dimensions mean greater weight and consequently greater transport difficulty;
- How fertiliser is spread: The larger the area where the fertiliser is spread, the better the fertiliser will cover the ground;
- Handles and grips: These parts that can be useful for transport;
- The working area: Perhaps the major factor to consider when purchasing the most appropriate compost spreader for your needs.
For small areas, manual portable compost spreaders are recommended, while larger, more complex models are recommended for larger areas.
Usage tips
A compost spreader should be used slowly and carefully in order to achieve an even spread of fertiliser. A good rule is to clean the tool after each use and not to apply too much fertiliser in only one area.
A further good rule is to test its level of spread, especially if the machine is used for the first time.
These are all good tips for the correct and effective use of a compost spreader.
