How to Fertilize Your Lawn With a Drop Spreader
- 1). Place the drop spreader on a hard surface like a driveway or sidewalk. Fill the drop-spreader with fertilizer or weed control from a bag.
- 2). Examine your yard. If your lawn is square, find the starting point on one of the corners. If not, start where you have an angle or corner.
- 3). Hold the handle and push the drop spreader along the edge of the yard. Follow the outside edges of your lawn twice, giving yourself a turnaround bumper. Make sure you overlap a little so you do not leave streaks.
- 4). Proceed in straight lines across the rest of the yard. Again, make sure you overlap a little to avoid leaving stripes. This process, depending on the size of the yard, should take 30 to 60 minutes.
