Could I apply this with a drop spreader (Scott's Accugreen 1000)??

I use the kind that has wheels and it spreads the seed (or granules) while you push it.

I just used a handheld spreader. It throws about a 6' wide swath which was more that wide enough to cover my flower beds, which is where I used it.

I am not familiar withy the brand of spreader you mentioned. I use a simple rotary spreader (like you would spread grass seed). Snapshot is like sand granules; it is easy to spread.

I'm sure you can use with a drop spreader...your question implies you'll be using on a lawn...the product is not certified to use on lawns, but I've done so for two years with good effect.

They are small, fine granules that I would think should work with any type of spreader but I don't know for sure.

It works great with all materials, most materials show the recommended setting on the bag for the Scott's spreader, so it makes it easy.

Yes most people use it on lawns. It does not have a specific scotts spreader setting. You would apply at 3.5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. for Lawns

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

Claudia this is only for spreading seed. To be exact grass seed, clover etc.Manure you need something like the ABI Classic Manure Spreader which I purchased my wife the 50 model.Manure has to be chopped up or it can burn your grass.

Melissa, Yes you can! Depending on your yard size, spreading it can be tedious!! Check for rain in the forecast. Make sure that you have at least 3-5 days with no rain for the full effect of using this in your yard. If it does rain, you will need to reapply it because it is water soluble. I have a fairly large yard, I recommend starting at your exit door(s) and sprinkle the grass/mulch areas using a fairly large salt/pepper shaker that flows freely!! Sprinkle it 4-5 inches from the top of the grass. Then go through the middle of your yard. This chases all of the insects including fleas to the edges of your yard. Then just pick a side and sprinkle it. You do not need to "cover" it entirely. Then move on to the other side of your yard. You do not have to rake the yard after application, but I recommend it because it gets the diatomaceous earth to the dirt level where most bugs hide under the grass!! Also, you can mix it with Yarrow Powder too! This helps stop the life cycle of those pesky little critters!! It is more expensive, so I use it sparingly in the areas of the yard, like bushes and doorways, where my dog and cats like to hang out. Hope this helps!!

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

My seeder has been pretty free with seed and hard to adjust. It is good for putting out bigger seeds at a high rate (oats or wheat at 100 lbs / acre). If I were putting out tiny seeds like clover or lespedeza, I would mix the seeds with something else (fertilizer, large seeds, even sand) to spread them out more.Also, this is a drop seeder, not a broadcast seeder. The seeds fall directly under the tool so you have to drive over every bit of the area to get full coverage.

I used a Scott's hand spreader. It went quickly and has come up beautifully.

Not likely, it is too thick. If you let it dry for a half minute it will be pliable and you could spread it that way.

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.

I can't answer your question Because I modified the spreader for use on the front of a zero turn mower , sorry

Yes, check your bag of grass seeds (instructions) as to which spreader to use for seeding your lawn.

Without knowing exactly what those are, I'd say yes. The opening in the bottom of this thing is about 3/4" x 3/4"; you'd need some really big seeds for it to not work. The opening has a little slide that makes it smaller and hence set the spread rate. Unfortunately mine broke after the 3rd use so I didn't get too familiar with it. The rotary spreading mechanism is just too stiff for the flimsy plastic handle and the center axle of the handle stripped out and was beyond repair. This is a cheap cheap piece of equipment; I'd strongly suggest you keep looking; there's got to be something better. Without knowing exactly what those are, I'd say yes.

Don't know what kind of spreader you have but the one I got when I ordered my seed had instructions on how to adjust it for that seed. Worked perfectly. No fast running out at all. Hope this is helpful.

Read and follow all label directions! Application can be similar to methods of applying a large granular fertilizer. For a small area it can be shaken from its small size container can or use an empty sidewalk deicer container/shaker applicator. You could use a protective gloved hand or a small, hand-held broadcast seed/fertilizer spreader. For large areas one can use a walk behind fertilizer spreader. There are YouTube videos to watch. It MUST be watered-in, artificial or rainfall, to be effective. But, one must be careful to use only in areas where it is NOT going to be carried/washed/leached to unwanted places/areas by erosion, dissolving, or floating. Large unexpected rainfall soon after could cause problems! If it goes off site it could be a disaster to desirable waterways, plants, etc. Do not be irresponsible. Be careful near trees, etc. Tree roots can be close to the soil surface and grow beyond trees' branch canopy. It can be effective in rock driveways if one does NOT want plants growing there. READ AND ALL LABEL INSTRUCTIONS ! ! !

I never tried it. I assume it might not work but in all honesty I'd probably just use a rake. I don't think you'd get the thickness by using the spreader.
