Broadcast fertilizing allows you to avoid
striping, a problem sometimes associated with drop spreaders.
Handheld broadcasters
Handheld broadcasters spread fertilizer pellets evenly in all directions
as you walk up and down the lawn, turning the handle. These may be
appropriate for small lawns. Obtain even coverage by overlapping
each pass.
Walk-behind broadcasters
Walk-behind broadcasters throw out fertilizer pellets in all directions
at once as you push them from behind, as the name suggests. Overlap
each pass for even coverage. It is easier to obtain even coverage
with a walk-behind broadcaster than with a handheld broadcaster.
Broadcast spreaders throw fertilizer in all directions.
