Merits Of Using Fertilizer And Lime Spreader

By Kathleen Cox


As the years have passed, technology has evolved. Manual labour has been needed less and less due to the new technology. This change is especially seen on the agricultural front. We have tractors, combined harvesters, sprinklers among other things. One of the types of machinery that have really helped out this sector is the 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.

You have the option of choosing the kind of propagator you want. This is not only based on price but on the size and efficiency too. For example, you would not go for a hand-held spreader if your piece of land is larger. You would opt to go for the broadcast propagator. The hand-held one is best for a piece of land while the medium pieces of land could use drop spreaders.

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.

The one thing we all want to do is to save money. Using the propagator gives you a chance at this. The machine does not over-do or under-do the spreading so the amount you buy should be enough. Doing it manually may cost you a lot of manure and if wrongfully done, the crops end up destroyed or the lawn unattractive.

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.
