How to celebrate this one?

Answer This Question

Broadcast spreaders with a dial for setting (ex. Basic, Standard, EdgeGuard Mini, EdgeGuard DLX, EdgeGuard MAX, etc) are calibrated at the factory. They cannot be calibrated and shouldn't need to be.

    Can I use this to spread crumb rubber across a baseball field?
    ByOct 24, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hi jf15! We do not recommend using crumb rubber in the Scotts Turf Builder DLX Broadcast Spreader. Crumb rubber is irregular, lightweight, and prone to bridging or jamming inside a fertilizer hopper rather than flowing smoothly through a gravity-fed gate.

      What is appropriate dial settling for Turf Line Fertilizer 1(0-6-4) for the Scotts Line Mini spreader
      ByOct 22, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      There are no global, ISO, or comprehensive guidelines on spreader settings. If your Turf Line product lists a setting for a broadcast spreader, you can use that setting. If there are no spreader settings, While we don't test our products with non-Scotts items, we can provide a method to help you find an estimate. Please reach out to speak with an agent at 800.270.3714.

        Setting options are 1 thru 5. Which setting do I use?
        ByOct 14, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Thanks for reaching out about your Scotts Whirl Hand-Held Spreader. The settings on your spreader are designed to work with the physical size of the openings in the hopper and how much product you need to distribute, and can vary slightly from one spreader to another. If the specific Scotts Miracle-Gro product you're using has a setting listed for hand-held spreaders on its label, always go with that recommendation first. Here's a general guide: Setting 1 is best for fine grass seeds (uncoated Bermuda, Blue, Rye, Fine Fescue); Setting 2 is suitable for coarser grass seeds (uncoated Tall Fescue); Setting 3 is for light fertilizer applications (at Scotts' regular rate) and coated grass seeds (which typically fall between settings 3 and 5); Setting 4 is ideal for heavier fertilizer applications (Scotts Poly-S products, foundation soil improvers, heavy-rate products); and Setting 5 is for pelletized fertilizer and ice melt products.

            Does it have Quinclorac?
            ByOct 2, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            No, the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader does not contain quinclorac or any chemicals, as it is an empty mechanical push spreader used to distribute lawn products like seed, fertilizer, and ice melt.

              BySep 22, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hello Curious1. After using the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader, it must be cleaned prior to storing to ensure longevity and prevent environmental runoff. We suggest checking to make sure it is completely dry and stored indoors, inside a shed or garage; do not store the unit outside.

                If the Scotts Edgeguard and Scotts Speedy 3000 rotary spreaders if both set at 5 will they spread equal amounts of the same product?
                ByAug 15, 2026
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                The SpeedyGreen 3000 and the EdgeGuard Mini may both be broadcast spreaders but they are different models. Because of this, no assumption can be made that a setting of 5 for one will distribute the same amount of product as the other. For questions regarding spreader settings and which to use for various products, or if your spreader is not listed on the product you are wanting to use, we encourage you to call our Consumer Services team for assistance.

                  Don’t waste your money
                  I like Scott’s products like their array of lawn fertilizers. However this product is pure garbage and maybe it’s time to try a different brand or upgrade to the Elite version. My biggest gripe is the agitator that’s in this spreader. It’s literally a piece of low quality plastic that will eventually wear out and pop out. I am not getting my money’s worth because this spreader is only used 4-8 times a year. Customer service was nice to send me a replacement agitator but the fit was not right. It made the agitator so tight that it wouldn’t spin correctly and you heae the grinding noise. If you try to adjust it to the right level it will eventually pop off and the housing that holds this plug will come lose over time

                    Absolute junk and even worse customer service
                    This spreader is absolute garbage. Like many of the other reviews I too, am experiencing stripes in my lawn due to the absolutely horrendous broadcasting of this unit. The wheels are hollow and collect everything that you spread and drop it directly below the unit. This unit is garbage at broadcasting, it will drop 70% of your product directly below the unit and weekly spread the rest. I have tried every single Internet hack to get this unit to work with no luck. I reached out to Scott’s two months after my one year warranty and was told tough luck. Here’s a 25% off coupon to go spend more money with a company who could care less about their customers. Scott does not care about you or the quality of your experience with their products. I cannot recommend this product or any Scott’s product after my experience with their customer service. If you like having a uniform green lawn, look at some other spreader without Scott’s name on it. Don’t waste your money!!

                      Flawed design
                      The design of the wheels being hollow allows fertilizer to collect in large amounts and then be deposited in larger quantities which leaves these amazing green stripes. Save your money and buy a different brand.

                        GARBAGE for lawn applications!
                        Literal garbage for lawn applications and I’m personally so fed up with throwing my money away repeatedly on falsely advertised products. This spreader doesn’t really spread at all- it’s essentially like using broadcast rates but with a drip spreader. Sadly I didn’t realize this until using a high nitrogen fert which came weeks after preventative applications. At first I thought the dark green streaks were from overlapping but after doing another pass and marking out my paths and spacing. A week later, dark streaks again and sure enough they fell exactly on my marked out paths. So majority of the product falls exactly where you’re walking. This means my grass seed, pre emergent herbacide and fungicide was put down at completely inactivate rates and thus I’m left with having to use additional products to remediate. Times are so financially tough right now it’s infuriating that Scott’s gets to make a killing while we are left feeling robbed. PLEASE CARE MORE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS!!

                          Don’t bother
                          This spreader left dark green lines in my lawn. It was ergonomically incorrect, and very hard to hold the handle open. I wish I did not throw away my 1998 spreader.

                          The green stripes in the lawn may be a cause of misapplication of fertilizer if you have lack of coverage. When spreading you might be overlapping too much or too little.

                            Stopped working. Wheel issue.
                            I only used it twice, but the wheels started having issues since they’re made of plastic. The problem seems to be where the plastic connects to the metal inside the wheel.

                              Worst Scott's Spreader of All Time!!!
                              Terrible spread pattern. Lawn is striped and the agitator does not work properly. A thick layer of pulverized fertilizer builds up beneath the agitator blades and hangs it up. You have to shake the spreader after every pass to dislodge it. I really miss my old Scott's Spreader. This new design does not make the cut at all. Only one wheel spins the agitator and the spreader wheel. What a waste of money!!!! Do not buy!!!

                                APPALLING!!
                                I bought this for the price and because I expected good quality from Scotts....WRONG!! This is a faulty design with an easy fix, yet they continue to sell this awful product. The spinning disc that distributes the granules is below the top of the wheels causing the fertilizer to fall between the wheels instead of being broadcast evenly out into the yard, thus causing my lawn to have dark green stripes. I'm appalled at Scotts' flippant lack of concern and that they continue to sell this horrible product fully knowing that this is a problem. It's a bad product, and they know it!! Since my experience, I have looked back at reviews. This issue has been in reviews from at least 6 years back with photos showing the problem... they've replied to the customer reviews yet they do nothing about it. They know of this problem but continue to rip off customers who purchase this item for the same reasons I did (price and reputation). I will never EVER buy another Scotts product again.... not because of the faulty product. But because of Scotts' lack of action to address this problem. Such an easy fix to a faulty design
