Ratings & Reviews for Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader Perfect for Seed Fertilizer Salt Ice Melt

When should the four applications be applied?

IIthink the product package was great however there was no explanation as to when the four applications should be applied here in North Carolina. Please let me know when the four application should be applied. Thank you.

Bad rating. Bad Distribution

Edge guard turns on by itself in the in the off position and dumps too much fertilizer. Return one already and 2nd one doing the same. very bad rating

GREAT PRODUCT

I have no problem with the spreader. I’ve had it for two years .

Drops granules without pulling trigger handle

I bought this spread awhile back and just now used it for the first time. Seems solid but the issue I have is fertilizer drops out constantly regardless if I'm pulling the trigger handle or not. Come to find out the release bar on the bottom of the spreader has a gap between it and the bottom allowing granuals to drop out all the time. I see no adjustments for this and can't think of a way to rig it to fill that gap. Disappointed as I've had good luck with scotts products in the past.

only for very small yards

so what are the product settings? how do set them based on a lb/sqft of product? a picture of the label does me no good.

Precise spreading

I have an older model red devil spreader. It never spreads correctly and settings are not precise. I have burned my lawn before due to it dropping too much product. I borrowed my neighbors Scott’s mini edge guard spreader and was thrilled by how it operated and laid down the product. I had to purchase my own!!

Disgusted

I bought this Scotts Drop Spreader about 6 weeks ago and tried to use it yesterday for the first time to no avail. I calibrated it as per Scotts instructions, yet once I loaded it up with Scotts Winterizer fertilizer, the right wheel would not turn. I emptied it to check for any lumps but there were none. So this drop spreader works fine with nothing in the hopper but put Scotts fertilizer in the hopper and it fails miserably!

Junk

Leaves streaks in the grass. Scotts should refund every customer that brings this piece of junk back to retail location where it was purchased. SHAME ON THIS COMPANY!!!!!

Excellent product!

This spreader works incredibly well and is very easy to use.

Worst directions on spreader settings.

Instructions suck. If I want an explanation of spreader settings I have to go to the website. Website tells me the exact same thing as the label.

Disappointed in the spreader

This spreader is not like previous versions of Scott’s drop spreader. Previously I used an entire 5,000 sq ft bag of each step of Scott’s fertilizer in its entirety with my old spreader. Now, with going by the same recommendation, barely a half of bag is used on the same area…barely any fertilizer is dropping. I am thoroughly disappointed with my new spreader and will be looking for another brand!

This doesn’t work.

Yeah, nice spreader. Doesn’t spread top soil. I guess the soil is comprised of too many bigger pieces and the chute is too small, but for a product that’s supposed to spread any number of materials, this one falls short. Not super optimistic about my chances with seed after its performance so far and after reading the reviews. Thanks for another top quality, high priced Scott’s product that doesn’t work. Great job, guys. I mean, I assume you guys have some type of testing facility for products i...

Need Calibration Instructions

It leaves stripes. I think it’s because the fertilizer gets stuck in the open wheels. I just have to go back between the strips with more fertilizer. I need to calibrate but can’t find what setting to put in on when you open the flow control to see if the line is even. Does anyone know? I search it and all that comes up is for a drop spreader. I have the edge guard mini.

Piece of junk! Don’t buy!

This is a piece of junk. Leaves stripes with everything- fertilizer, seed, etc. I’ll never buy another Scott’s product again. Shame on me for not reading the reviews before I purchased it. It’s going in the garbage this week.

Poor quality product.

Broke on first use. The spindle to the stir paddle in the hopper twisted, and broke of during first use. Scotts Winterizer was in the hopper.

Stripes stripes stripes, do not recommend

Leaves stripes every single time. First I thought it was me, but after trial and error I finally read other reviews and this is a well documented problem. Do not recommend.
