Uses:

• Spreading fertilizer
• Spreading granular pesticides

Fertilizer spreaders come as either drop spreaders or broadcast spreaders. Many granular fertilizers and pesticides should be distributed with a spreader. The use of a spreader ensures an even distribution of the product throughout your lawn.

Take into account that a drop spreader is best for working in irregular spaces with definite borders. A broadcast spreader dispenses fertilizers and other products over a large area, but you may end up shooting the fertilizer wider than you’d like and where you don’t want it.

Read this handy website from the University of Florida on how to use and calibrate your fertilizer spreader.
