Why should I use a Miracle-Gro Handy Spreader?

The Miracle-Gro Handy Spreader is ideal for quick, easy, and even application of Miracle-Gro lawn care products and grass seed to small to medium-sized lawn areas. Covers 1m of lawn area per second at recommended walking speed.

How do I use the Miracle-Gro Handy Spreader?

Begin with your borders, leave a 3m gap from your border, as this is the spreading width. Walk back and forth in the longest lawn direction. If two or more passes over the lawn are required, cover the lawn in a criss-cross pattern.

Any useful tips when using the spreader?

Use when the weather is fair and not windy, because if lawn feed granules are blown onto a flower bed they may harm plants. Ensure the spreader is shut off when not in use. Ensure the product is brushed off your shoes before stepping onto paths/patios.

The handle is becoming hard to turn, what can I do?

Granules have probably found their way into the gearbox under the spinner. Empty the hopper and soak the spreader in warm soapy water for a few hours to dissolve the granules and then wash it out with clean water. Allow to dry before using again.

How do I maintain the spreader?

Pour leftover product back into the original packaging, seal tightly, and store in a dry place – never leave the product in the spreader as it may dampen and clog up. After each use, wash and dry the spreader thoroughly. Store in a dry place.
