Can you use this spreader for salt?
2069233
NO, NO and NO...unless you are talking table salt. :( See my review. This is a seed and fertilizer spreader and not designed or rugged enough for salt.
2069234
yes but it's not recommended as written on packaging. Stainless steel or all aluminum construction spreader would be a better long-term choice or for commercial applications

I haven't tried it, but I don't see any reason why not. The openings in the bottom are pretty large. Hope this helps.

The 2 openings are around 1/2" x 3/4" big so it depends how big the salt pieces are. I think it would be fine. It's a very nice spreader.

I have not tried to do that, but since they sell a separate salt grinder my best gas is that the grinding elements are different for salt from pepper Salt is a harder material. Spices might be okay, but I have never tried that.

Yes but it will start to rust from frequent use. The frame is painted steel. If you are looking to salt consider a spreader with aluminum or stainless steel construction. (Otherwise be prepared to wash this spreader or use fluid film to increase longevity)

If you mean to spread salt with, then yes you could spread salt. No problem.

Yes you can use this spreader to spread any size of seed. It's Spreads very even and is easy to push as well.

If you have bags of 40-50 lbs. Using top soil, fertilizer, salt, whatever you can lay them on top of the spreader.

Yes it does, it works well with all recipes and variations. I use this to make crisp refirgerator pickles as well as hot packed canner style. Salt is not necessary for product to work.

Paperwork says "Not recommended for Salt" but also states if you do "remove agitator before salting". I personally use this only for lawn care. May want to go directly to the Earthway site and ask this question. Cheers

Not that I know of. The salt is in pretty big "chunks," so you do need a grinder of some kind. I take the salt out and put it in my "pretty" grinder. I did see the same salt crystals at Whole Foods in bulk... so that might be an option for you.

Yes, this grinder should be able to handle the course pink Himalayan salt. I use mine for sea salt and Alaea Red Hawaiian Salt.

Yes and this an excellent product for that use. I use it as a salt shaker and I need to add dry beans or rice as a desiccant (to keep the salt dry---I live on Kauai). Just keep it clean and it will serve you well. Hope this helps...best wishes.Skip

I have only used it for salt on popcorn. Do not see a reason it would not work. The holes are fairly large. As stated before,my problem with this shaker is it does not lock when turning to tight. So I have to keep a finger on the led for fear of spilling the contents. Might be I just caught a bad one. Hope this helps.

I believe you could....be careful of rocks in the soil because of the possibility of damage to spreader.

No, I purchased this spreader to spread mainly lime and not actually Ag Lime. It will work fairly well for pellet lime and bagged finely ground Ag Lime. Manure spreaders are costly and might be best to borrow from a neighbor if possible. I still use a broadcast spreader for commercial fertilizer. Hope this helps

I don't think so. The spreaders are small. Okay for cheeses. I was going to use them every day for spreading things on bread BUT they were too small for that.

I'm not sure if you type your year and make it should come up with the ones that fit. Or just go on timbrens website. They work excellent. I have a 1.8 yard blizzard v box salt spreader. You can barely tell it's loaded when it is. And also there they give roll control around turns. Good luck.

I've never used that salt, but the holes are smaller than toothpicks, if that helps. I use it for powered sugar, to put on cakes, etc.
