Review: Well made and easy to assemble - When reading reviews for this product bear in mind that Gardena make several different types of lawn spreaders and desertcart have listed them all together. This review is for the type 'L' drop spreader. I first bought a cheap hand held rotary spreader that did spread lawn fertilizer successfully. Unfortunately, it was too easy to spread the fertilizer onto the garden borders and paths too. The problem then is that the fertilizer contains a ferrous compound to kill moss and when it rained it left large rust stains on the concrete flags of the path, despite trying to brush the fertilizer off first. These stains are near impossible to remove even with proprietary acids and rust removers for concrete. Hence I've chosen a drop spreader which spreads the fertilizer only on the lawn. I considered several different makes of drop spreaders before deciding on this one. Gardena is a reputable German manufacturer and I've been pleased with the quality of some of their other products. The spreader was supplied in a substantial cardboard box complete with all the parts including the instructions and the 6 screws needed to assemble it. Assembly was quite simple and took only a few minutes, the only tool needed was a cross-head screwdriver, but a little force was required to insert the self-tapping screws. Another reviewer points out that the spring attaches directly to holes in the plastic and recommends that a metal ferrule would be better to avoid any chance of the plastic eventually splitting and I would agree with this. There is a plastic foot at the bottom of the spreader to keep it upright when stationary. This keeps the footprint of the spreader to a minimum and, unlike another type which uses protruding bars, enables the spreader to be stored more easily. The spreader is quite light in weight and could easily be hung on hooks for storage but no hooks are supplied. Gardena states that all the parts are rustproof, it can even be used to spread salt, and the spreader should be washed down after use. The quantity of fertilizer, seed etc. can be adjusted by slots in the handle that is connected to a steel cable to adjust the opening of a flap on the spreader or the flap can be closed completely by releasing the handle. IMPORTANT: the cable is connected to the handle with an orange plastic clip and two other reviewers have said that this clip detaches in use, one reviewer includes a video showing this. However, this can only be because the clip was not correctly attached to the handle. The instructions clearly show that there's a right way and a wrong way to attach it (see photograph). If fitted correctly the clip will not come off. There are notches in the handle that this clip goes into and this controls the dosage of the product being spread. I tested it with the recommended 32 grams of lawn treatment on a white sheet to ascertain how fast I had to move it and how even it spread the granules. This wasn't successful because it dropped most of it as soon as I opened the flap with the handle. It was more successful when I increased the quantity to 96 grams and covered 3 times the area but still dropped a lot when I first opened the flap. I think to be able to spread it at the correct dosage it needs to have a much larger quantity than a small test area and you need to move the spreader before opening the flap. I also think it would help to reduce the dosage for each pass and to go over the ground again but at 90 degrees across. I've hosed it down (don't do this where lawn treatment may leave rust stains), wiped it and left it to dry completely in the sun. I wanted to review this without waiting too long after I received it because the lawn treatment instructions say to apply it in April so I'll update my review when I've treated the lawn next month. So far though I'm prepared to give it 5 stars for the ease of assembly and quality of manufacture and 4 stars for how easy it is to spread until I update my review. 18-05-2024: I need to update my review of the Gardena lawn spreader. Having used the spreader to put weed and feed (Westland all-in-one) on my lawn, I am mostly pleased with the result. I went up and down the length of the lawn and then went over it again from side to side. After a couple of weeks, the treatment has killed the moss and greened up the grass in most of the lawn, however, there were some bare patches where it appears the treatment killed the grass but this may have been down to me not moving it quickly enough. Also, because I only intend to put the treatment down in spring and autumn, I intended to disassemble the spreader and pack it away between treatments. Unfortunately, I hadn't realised that once the wheels are attached and the plastic caps are pushed in, then they can't be removed and the spreader cannot be put back in its box with its wheels on. If you wish to pack it away between uses, I therefore recommend that you leave off the plastic caps in the centre of the wheels. Review: Almost perfect - Holds about 400g of seed, not the 1 kilo shown. Easy enough to fill though. Design has two significant flaws. The button that you must press with your thumb to open the hopper up has to be held down all the time you are using it. Any redesign should have a 'locking' button to avoid this nuisance. The second issue is the shape of the hopper. Instead of the seed all collecting down to a single point, the shape of the hopper means you have to starting shaking the seed around about halfway through the spreading and then keep shaking it all the way to the end of the process as the seed gathers around the outside and at the front of the hopper. This causes a break to the rhythm and stops your concentration regarding how much you are applying. When full it works well as long as it is set on 3 (for grass seed). Setting 1 produces nothing useful, 2 produces such a sparse and inconsistent amount that it is not useful and 4 I did not try as setting 3 produces a good rate of spread and allowed me to cover the same ground three times (quickly) which permits a very good and thorough covering. Overall much better than by hand but hoping the next version will address the annoyances of hopper design and non locking release button. ## Features - Can be used universally, year round: In spring or winter, for delivering such material as fertiliser, seeds, chalk, salt, and sand, ideally suited to mid-sized gardens and areas of up to 400 mΒ² - No accidental leakage of spreading material: Reliable container closure with the patented locking slide with a soft plastic lip - Even distribution: Multi-level dosage setting on the handle, can be set in an upright position; open/close mechanism in the handle; even distribution with the special scattering roller - Durable thanks to high-quality materials: Spreading trolley of break-proof, corrosion-resistant plastic and a stable aluminium bracket and stainless steel wire cable - Scope of delivery includes: 1x Gardena Spreader L ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076HJFJL3 | | Application Method | Broadcast | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,384 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 3 in Lawn & Garden Spreaders | | Brand | Gardena | | Brand Name | Gardena | | Country of Origin | Germany | | Coverage | Medium gardens up to 400 m2 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 6,594 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04078500033169 | | Included Components | Contents: 1 item | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Type Name | Esparcidor | | Item Weight | 5.51 Pounds | | Item form | Granules | | Item weight | 5.51 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 12.5 Litres | | Liquid volume | 12.5 Litres | | Manufacturer | Gardena Deutschland GmbH - DE Parent | | Model Number | 00432-20 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | G432-20 | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Target Species | plants | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gardena - **Item form:** Granules - **Item weight:** 3590 Grams - **Liquid volume:** 12.5 Litres - **Specific uses for product:** Plant Growth, Seed Development, Soil Conditioning ## Images ![Spreader L - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-wj3fvfBL.jpg) ![Spreader L - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Um8AA4u5L.jpg) ![Spreader L - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41eoVSAyYNL.jpg) ![Spreader L - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uTZg5NbmL.jpg) ![Spreader L - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TP51lTfPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made and easy to assemble *by J***C on 19 March 2024* When reading reviews for this product bear in mind that Gardena make several different types of lawn spreaders and Amazon have listed them all together.

It is nice and compact and I used it to spread fertiliser on my lawn. The flow can be adjusted to deliver more or less product with every turn and the crank handle has a smooth, even motion and is easy to turn. It is easy to clean and looks like it is built to last. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/194242095-spreader-l](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/194242095-spreader-l) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
