From the photo it look like it would sling fertilizer all over your shoes too, not back guard?

I've used mine twice and have not had any issue with it "slinging fertilizer all over my shoes". It appears to be an excellent unit, based on my limited use.

Your comment is valid. Also I had a problem withe mechanism that controls the volume of fertilizer it distributed. The metal piece kept falling out or getting stuck. I didn't see it as a very good design

It has shoes that attach at different heights and a single drift cutter is included. I personally don't recommend this item; however, since I've had various problems with it. It clogs easily and is cheaply constructed. A part in mine also broke which makes it more difficult to use; which I'll have to live with, since the warranty is useless because they have no repair locations in my state.

Yes. Love mine. Use it for all my garden stuff, like tools and fertilizer- heavy duty plastic.

the whole point of this type of spreader is it covers a wide arc. If you push it slower the arc decreases but a lot more fertilizer is applied to those areas

It's not supposed to go over your shoe. You have to wrap this around the bottom of your feet to restrict rotation

I don't know, as I am using as a planter. I drilled holes in the bottom and filled with dirt and mulch. This way you don't have to get on your hands and knees to plant and maintain.

It's a diaphragm pump, the base of the pump head is exposed at the bottom of the sprayer. There is no spot that it could leak on your back.

There's a polished or chrome ring on the top that's not shown in the picture. I put a Sheppard's hook out in the middle of my backyard and the ring works nicely to hang it on the hook like you would any other planter on a Sheppard's hook. Over time the electric cord will work it's way do to the ground and the grass roots will make the cord virtually disappear.It thins the bug population very nicely. It doesn't get them all, but it's a very noticeable improvement.

It has rubber covering it plus you may be able to see in the photo that the end bends. It doesn't go straight down.

Yes it is. It doesn't go all the way across the foot but over your feet alone it would work.

There are crossbars that help the compost "tumble" when you rotate the container. Seems toix the compost pretty well, with minimum poster effort.

No it does not but it really doesn't seem to continue dumping much if any once you stop because the disc that throws the product is sort of concave. Low in the center if you will. Although I have only spread rock salt with it so far but doubt it would act any differently with fertilizer etc.

No. The loop is too large to keep the toe spreader in place on a little toe.

yes it has fertilizer on it.. was a great ground cover... too hot where I lived for this to stay healthy

It isn't, however, I suggest spraying it down with some waterproofing shoe spray, it will allow the water to bead right off of it. After owning this item for a few years I would still highly recommend it.

No it wraps around the entire back of the bagger without the grass bags on. It wont stay on or extend fully if you put it on the side.

Sure-they'd be great, but they are only rubber and wouldn't protect from injury if you accidently knocked into foot w/ shovel. Love to garden and prone to injuries myself!
