Fertilizer spreaders and salt spreaders are two different types of machines. Fertilizer spreaders are used to spread fertilizer on lawns or gardens. Salt spreaders are used to spread salt on sidewalks or driveways.
Yes, you can use a Scotts spreader to apply ice melt. However, you will need to make sure that the spreader is properly calibrated to ensure accurate coverage. Also, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and safety.
Yes, you can use a seed spreader to spread sand. This can be helpful if you need to level out a surface or create a non-slip surface. Be sure to adjust the settings on your spreader so that it dispenses the sand evenly.
If you have a Scotts spreader, you can absolutely use it to spread salt. You'll just need to make a few adjustments to the settings. First, set the spreader to the lowest setting. Then, add salt to the hopper and start spreading. Remember to go slow and be careful not to overdo it, as too much salt can damage your lawn.

This product is fantastic for dispersing diatomaceous earth. Remove the lid, scoop out the DE, replace the lid, and shake. It is big and can accommodate a lot of DE. After trying it at home, I realize that, if you don't have the extra cash to buy this shaker, you can use an old container with holes in the top or something like a Parmesan cheese container; they have the same size holes and will work.

It is what it is and it functions reasonably well, however avoid using the sand-salt combo since that clogs it up. And you need to repeatedly use a stick in that shape to knock the debris loose. I purchased an ice melt that contained sand that I was unaware of, yet the machine advises mixing salt and sand together. I say no way, unless you enjoy stopping every hundred feet to shake the container and jab the stick inside.

Excellent unit. came in excellent condition and is quite functional. Due to the beginning or shoot's design, I'm only rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars. The speeds on the controller hardly alter how much salt is dumped out; they merely affect how far the salt travels. Salt was consumed at roughly the same time when 150 pounds were tested at the highest and lowest speeds. need a smaller opening and a mechanism for controlling how the shoot opens and closes. It would then be 5/5. To prevent the salts' gravity feed from simply dumping out, I created a custom opening. used on about 9 lots of light commercial. Despite needing some customization, it worked well.

Exact as described, simple to operate, and with numerous settings for everything from small seeds to substantial chunks of salt. I used it to seed a 3/4-acre yard and salt a 700-foot driveway. The only drawback is that it frequently leaves a thin layer of residue in the bottom of the container, measuring between 1/2" and 1". It becomes necessary to shake whatever you're spreading aggressively after it is down to about 4"; otherwise, you will not be able to spread the final inch or so of material. There are no issues at all except from that.
Yes, Scotts Turf Builder can be used for salt. It can help to improve the quality of your soil and make your lawn more resistant to salt damage.
Yes, seed spreaders can be used to spread salt. This can be helpful if you need to spread a large amount of salt quickly and evenly. However, you should be aware that using a seed spreader to spread salt may damage the spreader.
When it comes to adding salt to snow, there is no right or wrong answer. Some people prefer to add salt before the snow falls, while others wait until after the snow has already accumulated. Either way, the goal is to prevent the snow from sticking to the ground and making it easier to shovel.
The most effective way to spread salt on a driveway is to use a salt spreader. First, clear the driveway of any debris or snow. Next, fill the salt spreader with salt and set it to the desired setting. Finally, spread the salt evenly across the driveway.
A sand spreader is a device that is used to evenly distribute sand over an area. There are many different types of sand spreaders, but they all work by using a rotating drum to evenly distribute the sand. The sand spreader will often have a hopper that is used to hold the sand, and this hopper will be filled with sand before the device is turned on.
