Merits Of Using Fertilizer And Lime Spreader

By Kathleen Cox


Due to an evolution of technology, a lot of the manual labour seems to be disappearing thus introduction of new methods. The agricultural front has gone from people tilling the land, to have ox-drawn ploughs to having machinery such as tractors. Apart from land tilling, planting and distribution of manure can be done using a fertilizer and lime spreader.

The first benefit is the uniform application of the fertilizer in the whole area. This allows growth to be also uniform. This machine is able to control and spread out the exact amount of fertilizer in all the spots. This prevents under and over the application. The two can lead both bare patches and burning of the roots and clumps respectively.

There is the option of choosing the model you want. You get to choose according to how much use you plan to get out of it, the cost and the size of land. Luckily there is one for every size of land. For a small lawn, it would be advisable to go for a hand-held propagator, for a medium piece of land, drop spreaders are best while for larger pieces of land a broadcast spreader is best.

One advantage that goes without saying is that at no point will the manure come into direct contact with your skin. This is of course unless you spread it on yourself. Fertilizer is usually made from chemical products. It may, therefore, be dangerous to your health once you are in contact with it directly. Getting a compost propagator is the best way to avoid such.

Among the best benefits is time-saving. We always have other things we want to accomplish in a day. Applying the manure manually will need you to take time and calculate the rates at which the fertilizer will be most accurately spread. With the spreader, however, you only need to set the specifications and forget about it.

It is not only useful when it comes to the distribution of fertilizers. You can use it to plant the seeds. Again, it will be more accurate than doing it yourself. You will need to set it to a specific amount of seeds and the growth will be uniform. The other use is distributing salt on icy walkways in the winter. This means that you will invest in one thing with multiple functionalities.

As time passes, the cost of manure goes up too. You do not want to find yourself buying it only to waste it. The machine spreads out the manure evenly and to your specifications. This means that you are in charge of whether it is over or under done. The lawn or crops also have higher chances of turning out great.

For farmers, they get to see improved yield production. As long as manure is correctly used, the crops produce more and they not only make the profit, but they are also able to satiate the needs of the ever-growing population.
