This has been replaced by the improved green spreader. The principals of operation are the same and they do the same job but this latest model has an improved warranty to 3 years and sturdier construction.MaintenanceFertiliser, being a salt, is highly corrosive so all spreaders should be thoroughly hosed out after use, air dried completely and all exposedmeal parts sprayed and/or wiped with a light oil such as WD40 or a  silicone spray. Corrosion is not covered by the warranty. Cleaning and maintenance videos here.Buying Guides

I did not realise that the control lever could latch in the open position so I over delivered the fertilizer. I think I can work around this so upgrading the star rating

I found it relatively easy to change the seed discharge rate. The spread was wide and constant and so the work was done in no time!

The spreader is good and gives a good coverage as required however the zip fastener came of in my hand on the third usage so now having to use as an open bag. Still works but have to remember not waterproof now.

Easy to assemble and use. It takkes a bit of getting used to to adjust the control, and it does sread quite a distance but it has given a very even distribution and was really quick to do. Using have the dose in one direction and half at right-angles seems to have worked a treat. Folds up really neatly too.
