    Ok, you guys certainly are happy here, I don't ask you guys to move right? It is just my signature and your choice are your
    You are quite right Michele, it is a free country . If you wish to post questions relating to your garden on a British forum, you are perfectly entitled to do so. We have other members from other countries. 
    Generally though, you may find that as you are asking questions about lawn mowers and fertilizer spreaders you would be better off consulting a USA based forum.  :)
  • I respect all your comment. Like I said ' I'm a new bie ', so I always open with every advice or thought. I just wish you guys can look through this topic. I just post an answer which I really consider and need somebody's review. You can skip or not why you guys must make it really hard like that.

  • I still open to hear your thought because everybody said " If they still care to you, they will keep talk "

    Hi Michele,
    For a small lawn (which I think you said is what you have, in your previous post) a fertiliser spreader is really not necessary, and it's tricky not to get overlap "lines" if your lawn isn't square or rectangular with straight sides (spend your money on nice plants instead :) ).  My tip - use half the recommended quantity, sprinkle it carefully and evenly by hand (just like when you sow grass seed), leave it a couple of weeks until it's been rained on, washed in and started to work, then if it hasn't greened up as much as you like do it again with the other half, working in a crosswise direction compared to the first time.
    It's a bit odd that you got yellowing from fertiliser overdose - it usually causes blackening (or maybe that's just feed & weed products - you probably get different kinds over in the US).
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
  • Michelle, do you have children or grandchildren who like to play ball games? If not then why not just have something nicer than a lawn? I would love to get rid of mine but my children  won't let me!
