    Ok

    Have the weed and feed but no spreader

    Seen some on Amazon but out of stock and Garden Center has them but no check out facility yet may check later

    Just wondering is it better to buy a spreader and do it this way rather than spread it by hand for fear or missing a spot.

    Its for medium sized back garden

    Best way to not miss a spot is to mark out the area with string/sticks in one metre blocks. A bit tedious to set up (time is possibly something you have plenty of!) but usually works.

    Ahh time is precious

    Think ill hold off till I get a spreader sure no rush plenty of time to watch the grass grow

    Think father did it by hand by shaking across his back garden. Hopefully he won't have patches

    i have done it by throwing it up in the air, needs a calm day. less likely to get spotting on the lawn as a result.
