If you are looking to fertilize your lawn, you will most likely be looking to purchase a lawn spreader. So what is a lawn spreader? And why do you need one?

A drop spreader is basically a large bucket, or container, on wheels. The fertilizer or seed is poured into the bucket and falls out when the bucket is wheeled across the grass. This type of spreader is ideal for smaller lawns, or when more control over the process is needed. Additionally, a drop spreader is an easier option when navigating around rocks, gardens, or ponds.
