Using a fertilizer spreader is one of the easier and more convenient ways to fertilize your lawn or garden. It takes a lot of the heavy work out of doing it and allows for faster fertilization, which in turn will produce healthier plants sooner than you would have achieved when fertilizing by hand. Fertilizing is not the most exciting part of gardening, and needless to say not one of the most pleasant and enjoyable things to do, so getting it done efficiently and quickly is always a plus.

Choosing a Fertilizer Spreader

The size of your spreader will of course depend on the size of the area to be fertilized. There are high-volume spreaders to accommodate large amounts of fertilizer. For smaller jobs, there are lightweight, less expensive models.

The great thing about many fertilizer spreaders is that they can be used for other gardening tasks as well. Some of them can be used to spread ice melt products and grass seed as well. Take these options into consideration when purchasing your fertilizer spreader.

There are online lawn and garden shops that sell a large selection of spreaders. I recommend purchasing all of your lawn and garden needs from these online retailers. The best sites give you all the information you need to choose the right spreader for your landscaping needs. No matter what the size of your garden or pasture, using a fertilizer spreader can make your job a lot easier and will allow you more time for the more enjoyable gardening activities.
