Scott's Broadcast Spreader - A Review

Last year I got the Broadcast Spreader.

I thought it would be simple, use it with Scott's products, and I don't have to do math in my garage. Just put in what I'm spreading, set it to the number on my bag.

Instructions are walk at a "brisk" pace in lines about 5 feet apart.

I first did this last year with Scott's Turf Builder. There were clear stripes that got alot more fertilizer. The second feeding last year, I tried to walk at a "brisker" pace for more slinging action. Same result.

This year, I put out my first feeding about 2 weeks ago. I tried walking in less linear patterns, and did more of a cross-hatch style of spreading. Same result, except it's zig zag of super green.

My conclusion- Use the Drop Spreader so it is equally distributed everywhere, even though it is more back-and-forth.
