Broadcast spreaders are gardening tools used to evenly distribute seeds, fertilizers, or other granular materials over a large area. They work by using a rotating disc that flings the material outward as the user walks, ensuring a uniform application. This makes them ideal for covering lawns, gardens, and agricultural fields efficiently. There are two main types of broadcast spreaders: push spreaders and tow-behind spreaders. Push spreaders are manually operated and require the user to walk behind them, while tow-behind spreaders can be attached to a vehicle, such as a lawn tractor or ATV, for larger areas. Both types help save time and effort in landscaping tasks.
