Hi Tim
If you do a lot of this its worth investing in a scotts accupro 2000 professional rotary spreader. They have a very accurate calibration system and have a drop down guard/shield which is lowered when the lawn edge/border is to be protected. Not cheap at £535 plus vat upwards.
To avoid the unnecessary spread of fertiliser and to avoid harm to neighbouring plants we would suggest you switch from a rotary spreader to a drop spreader. The AccuGreen 3000 would be the ideal way to go.
This will remove any chance of overspraying the borders & paths.
For prices & detailed information please call our office: 01423 332100

Hi Tim,
I've just bought a drop spreader for the reason you mentioned.
Gone for a Turfmaster DS1000 (£59.99 Green reaper, cheapest price). It's not a full pro model but seems well made and holds 50lb of feed/seed. On the downside it's an American make and all the caliberations are in lbs so I will have to work out what the settings mean...
Will let you know how I get on.
Tim.
I use one of these for the majority of jobs:
Holds 3kg of crf which is enough for 75-100m2, so most small/medium gardens I do only need one or two fillings. Really comfortable and quick to use, nice wide throw pattern.
To just spread to the left only(alongside borders, paths etc) turn the lever anticlockwise, full width clockwise.
BTW It's only £13.30 (maybe +pp) from that link! Bargain :)

Has anyone used an earthway 3100? Would this be any use as a general spreader? I have a chance of getting one at a very good price.
