The Plantmates All-Purpose Spreader/Applicator is a versatile, all-purpose applicator that can be used for seed, fertilizers, ice melters, and granular insecticides. It is rust and corrosion resistant, made of tough polypropylene that washes clean with water so it's easy for you to maintain. It is fully assembled and built to last, so it comes with a 2-year guarantee of your satisfaction. It spreads a 8-12 foot swath, or you can reverse the crank for application to narrow areas. It has an easy single on/off switch and a flow rate setting adjuster knob. The handy flow rate setting chart molded on the side of the hopper helps you decide on the appropriate setting for any job.
