I want to use it to spread grass seed. Can grass seed fit through the lids on these?

If it's a very small seed, like centipede, then yes. If it's larger, such as rye grass, it probably would not.

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

I have used it for spreading grass seed, fertilizer and pelletized lime. For grass seed, you have to play with the setting in order to realize the amount of seed that you wish to apply to your lawn area.

Yes. The seeds are in a plastic container that lifts out, and you can use the wooden planter for additional refills.

Thank you for your inquiry. I believe they should work just fine with those lids. Thank you

Technically yes; however, I would recommend using a hand spreader with the correct recommendations for the type of grass seed you are applying. Some seed types recommend mixing with a ratio of sand into the hand spreader along side the seed as well...ie.. 5:1.

I would think so.I had an empty plastic litter container.I had cleaned it and kept birdseeds in it....that was no match,and that lid was very hard to open,and the plastic was just as thick as this container.This is not airtight,disappointed about that,would not buy another

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.

Definitely not, because the holes are too large to hold the thistle seed. The holes are designed to accommodate sunflower seeds.

I don't think so. They are too small and would fall through to easy. I don't think anything smaller than a popcorn kernel will work.

No, it is for lime, fertilizer and seed. Mulch is much too coarse to pass through the holes in the bottom of the spreader.

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.

Yes there are air tight and don't see why not safe to store seeds. Don't know about shrinking but don't think so.

no, the openings where the birds get the seed are much to large for thistle. sorry :)

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

I think you could but the feeding holes are very small slits designed for thistle,which looks like tiny sunflower seeds. I think standard bird feed will have some seeds that will not fit through the openings and some will probably pour through.

I left them as is. No need to cover them. Just make sure the seeds are placed into the hole deep enough (at least 1/2 "). I use Long tweezers to insert the seeds Individually. Works great.

not sure..there is a possibility..because of the gaps, but the cant actually get inside..as lids are onn top and not side...and if they get in, cant get out.
