Benefits Of Using A 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.

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.

Time is a resource that none of us ever has quite enough of. Therefore, we tend to salvage as much of it as possible. With the manure propagator, you no longer have to worry about the amount of time you will spend on the activity. All you have to do is to set the machine according to your specifications and by the end of the day, your land will be equally fertile.

The spreader is multipurpose. You may not only use it to fertilize the seeds but also use it to plant them. It would be the same, as you only have to set the number of seeds you want to be planted in each part of the land. You can also use it to spread salt in the icy sidewalks in the winter. This is really helpful as you no longer have to stand in the cold for longer periods.

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.
