Can I use this spreader with grass seed?

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

Hello, I don't think grass seed would not fit through the holes. The holesare just big enough for groung herbs and spices.

I only use black oil sunflower seed. But my guess for your question is NO, only the black oil seed.I think this one would be too messy with the mixed seed, due to the uniform size of each space in the wire net.

Sorry, I don't know. I do know that when you use potting/grading soil it already has fertilizer mixed in. I have seen of some of the TV shows they put fertilizer down when lay sod. There is no need to use this which includes week killer. The weeds have to be present and damp so the killer will stick to the weed and penetrate the leaf. I really think it would not do any good till the grass has been established. You should just use fertilizer, but if you already have the Turf Builder, I would try it.

Don't know....I've only used it for grass seed and fertilizer and it doesn't work great for that either.

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

Yes it can. In most cases the spreader will need additional support to prevent it flexing, irrespective of front or back mounting.

I guess you could cut open the bag at the top and pour the contents into a regular drop spreader, but this would be an expensive way to treat your lawn. You're paying for convenience and for the adapter on the bottom of the bag to fit onto the SNAP spreader. Other bagged products at your lawn and garden center would be much more economical.

I don't know why not. It might not spread it as fine as a fertilizer spreader, but the only material I find that it has problems with is hay and only if there is too much of it mixed in with the manure and bedding. Are you spreading bagged top soil or bulk? I'm thinking the bulk could have some lumps that wouldn't break down well. It's an incredibly well made and handy piece of equipment and absolutely worth the money. I love it!

You can make the opening almost any size you wish. You adjust the openings through which the seed falls by sliding one "plate" over another...this is done with a manual setting at the top of the handle...so you can make the width of the openings any size you want, as small as you want. The length of the openings remains constant, about an inch or so. I am not familiar with clover seed but I think the spreader should be able to do what you are looking for.

I don't see why not. The spreader is plastic . the feed control plate is metal. And this motor is sealed. You might want to beef up the mounts salt is heavy and may need more support.

Not sure. I bought mine last fall and threw away the information on the spreader. I recommend you contact the manufacturer.

no, it is too much like peat moss, I wouldn't use it to sow seeds, it is a mix in type of product. HTH

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.

I have used this for non-native grass seed with no problem. Have also used with oats, winter rye, hairy vetch, and crimson clover with no problems. For the seed you have work out rate(opening size and walking speed), direction(seed drop side & deflection shield), and distance(spin rate).

Short answer, NO. The spreader is made for granular material like fertilizer or weed killer. The openings are too small for something like manure.

Yes. I use mine with wild bird mix containing millet, black oil sunflower seeds and several other seeds sized between these two. Works great.
