Advantages 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.

Human beings are not as accurate as machines. They cannot be programmed to do the same thing the same way a thousand times. This is why, if you choose to manually apply the fertilizer, you may find yourself over-doing it or under-doing it. The end result will be a lawn or land that is not uniform. Some areas may burn out the roots while others will just be patches.

They come in different sizes. This way, you have a chance at choosing what works best for you and what is within your budget. The size you pick will be totally dependent on the size of the land you plan to use it on. For small lawns, you may use a handheld propagator, a medium piece of land may work with drop spreaders while for the large lands, a broadcast spreader would be best.

Fertilizer is mostly made from chemicals. Therefore, it will be a health hazard if it came in direct contact with your skin. You may decide to be creative and improvise a can into a spreader but it is not very safe. To avoid any kind of complication, it would be best for you to invest in a propagator to ensure that both you and your family are safe.

We all have things to do and you cannot spend days spreading compost on the land. When it comes to the manual method, a lot of time will be lost trying to estimate the amount of compost that should be spread out to make the land even. With the machine, you only have to feed it the compost and set the rate and amount which you want.

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.
