Facts About Fertilizer And Lime Spreader

By Timothy Robinson


Fertilizing is a very important activity in the process of crop production. Beside crops, grass in lawns also needs to be fertilized in order to grow well. Proper growth in plants is dependent on the ability of the roots to take up nutrients and water from the ground. However, soil infertility usually make it necessary to supplement the nutrients in the soil with inorganic fertilizers.

Application of fertilizer using hand is commonly practiced on small lawns and farms, despite this not being the best technique of achieving this. The ability of the plants to utilize the fertilizer is dependent on how evenly it is applied. Uneven application leads to wastage besides improper uptake by the growing plants. It is highly recommended to use a fertilizer and lime spreader for this work in order to minimize wastage and improper uptake.

The use of spreaders leads to several benefits. The first major advantage of using spreaders is that they lead to improved yield. Like stated above, spreaders assist in ensuring that fertilizers are spread evenly on a piece of land. This ensures that all plants receive nutrients and grow well. This way, it is possible to achieve sustainable production throughout the year. More and more farmers are shifting to the use of these machines.

Animal and human labor is indicated to have significantly reduced according to statistics. This case is witnessed in the developing nations. The resultant gap due to lack of labor may be addressed by adoption of mechanical spreaders. Mechanical spreaders only need one operator and can complete a lot of work which several laborers may not be able to do. The effect is both saved money and time.

There are many brands of spreaders manufactured by different manufacturers. Thus, it is important to choose the right kind of machine to suit personal needs. One should choose the machine based on a few factors such as the size of farm/lawn, budget, rate of work of the machine, fuel consumed, fuel consumption, size of machine, and availability. People with big lawns/farms need bigger spreaders to complete the job fast and effectively.

Before putting a newly acquired machine to use, it is important that one reads through the manufacturer manual that comes with it. For proper operation and ensuring that damage does not occur to the equipment, it is important to follow all the instructions contained in the manual. One should contact the manufacturer if they are in doubt about how to use the machine. Most producers have elaborate customer assistance systems.

Every brand of spreader comes with a warranty period. A person must ensure that such allowed period is favorable to them. The purpose of issuing a warranty is to ensure the buyer is protected from unanticipated damage of the machine. In the event of damage, a person must follow the laid down procedure of contacting the manufacturer and filing a complaint for compensation.

If negligence is not the cause for the damage, one does not need to panic. Damage caused by system malfunction are corrected by the company by taking the equipment back to the factory for inspection and repair. In the damage is irreparable, the buyer is usually issued with a new equipment.
