How wide will it spread fertilizer? (looking to minimize passes)

on the spreader itself it says that it cast about 3ft wide w/o the EdgeGuard on and with it on it's 2ft wide. In my observation it cast about 4ft wide without the EdgeGuard on.

I've only used mine for fertilizer. I have no doubt that it would spread rock salt quite well. Sand or rock salt mixed with a lot of sand...I'm not sure how that would spread, but I'd guess the less sand in the mix the better.

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.

Mine was outside, but also south facing. About twelve inches tall with a runner of five foot. Needs fertilizer regularly.

I wouldn't think so. This is for pellet/crystalized products for week killer and fertilizer. It could also spread seeds -

I'm not home right now so I can't measure it but it is I would say maybe at least 6 inches across. It is very open and high on top so I think fodder would probably work well, barley definitely a good use.

From the ground to the bottom of the spreader is about 4 inches when the spreader is empty. It would probable be a little less if the spreader is full

I used it to spread some fine native seed that was maybe .030" diameter by about 3/16" long. You just have to adjust the feed slot down and spin faster and walk faster.

I answered earlier saying that I couldn't measure the spread. Well, I got help and measured it. It is 120 Inches X 120 inches. Hope that helps.l

You better contact the manufacture. I did not have luck getting this product to spread well at all. 2 gallons only did approx 8x8. I may have applied it wrong. good luck

The nozzle is 1 & 3/8 inches wide. It will readily pass through a gap that is 1 & 1/2 inches wide.

No, the aluminum fins in the bottom of the spreader that sift the fertilizer will not handle mulch. And the small opening that the fertilizer drops through would stay plugged up, for sure.

Ours spreads out about 10 in, so if the faucet is in the middle it will go about 6 in from the edge; since the spray is rather strong, it should have no problem reaching all around.

I roughly measured my spreader with a 20" wheel base and the hopper is about 22 wide so the 1.7x1.7x1.9 is probably more correct. The spreader is stored in my small rubber garden shed with the handle fully extended in a space that is about 3ft long, 20in wide and 2ft 4in high. I hope this helps.

If I had a large area to seed I would definitely use this spreader, utilizing one of the smaller setting numbers. You'll need to check the specs on the seed product itself for the recommended settings; if this is not easily obtainable sometimes you can contact the manufacturer (Earthway) for their guidelines. But the range of settings for the Earthway spreader makes it very versatile.

To be accurate, use the spreading information (pounds per 1000 sq.) from the bag for the product you are using. The Earthway has a chart for the setting based on the application rate. Put out nitrogen on the lawn last month and no streaks this year; very precise spread.

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!
