Spreader works well with seeds and fertilizer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spreads product well. We used to spread seed and fertilizer on a patch that was torn up when we put our concrete in. Spreader did it’s job and now we have lots of little grass longs popping up. See picture for grass growth!

    Handy Compact Spreader
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader is great for people with smaller yards, or tight landscaping areas. It was really easy to assemble, in about five minutes, and is ready to use immediately after. The settings allow me to accurately set it for the preferred application. I use it to spread grass seed, fertilizer, and weed and feed. It holds up to 5,000 sq. ft. of product. The Edgeguard feature blocks off the right-side of the spreader pattern, which gives me better control near plant beddings, and areas where I don't wish to apply the product. It helps me to not over apply the product, and that also controls wastefulness and loss of product. I find that veto important, especially when applying fertilizer, because in the past, I had noticed burn spots in my lawn due to too much product being applied in those areas. This lawn spreader dispenses smoothly, and spreads evenly. I like that the smaller size, and folding handle make it easy to store without taking up a lot of space. Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader is very handy and useful in lawncare.

      Easy Set Up
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to assemble & snap on the wheels. Easy to read instructions when setting dials for spreading seeds. If you use Scotts seeds in the back of the bag has instructions to match up with the dials for setting it correctly to spread seeds. Near the bottom stand the open & close dial for when you dont want to spread seeds or want to spread it.

        lighter to handle and more compact
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader is a must-have tool for any homeowner or landscaper looking to maintain a beautiful, healthy lawn. This compact and easy-to-use spreader is designed to evenly distribute fertilizer, grass seed, and other lawn care products across your lawn. There is enough space for you to put your 20lbs of chemical so if you have a 40lb bag, just fill it twice. The small size is also good if you have limited space to store your yard equipment. One of the standout features of the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader is its EdgeGuard technology. When you are ready to spread, just pull on the handle and push the spreader. The large wheel is easy to maneuver over uneven surface. It worked quite well when I used it on my front yard. This is a nice feature to have so you can control where the product is applied. Overall it's a nice spreader as it has all the features of the bigger spreader but it's lighter to handle and more compact.

          Better than Expected
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Despite the smaller width then their other edgeguard model, the Mini Broadcast Spreader makes seeding a more enjoyable experience. You have slightly better control over the spread with the smaller volume spreader. EdgeGuard ensures you don't get seed in your bushes, or walkways. Less sweeping, less cleanup. I used to use a cardboard piece my son would hold up along the edges as I went by, but with this reliability of the EdgeGuard, I have no need to assistance anymore. If you have a larger lawn, then go with the full size EdgeGuard option, but for anything less than 1,000 sq feet, this is the perfect size spreader.

            Almost Perfect
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have both the Elite and the Edgeguard Mini and I wish I could make a hybrid of the two. The Edgeguard Mini holds a standard 5000 sq ft bag of product which is perfect for my residential lawn however it tips easily and the hollow wheels catch fertilizer which can lead to burn stripes on the lawn. I do like that it has a single hopper so that I can monitor for any jams that can occur while spreading larger prills or clumpy fertilizer. It’s extremely light weight and easy to maneuver.

              Just what I needed to get my lawn done
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Work fantastic. I used it to spread Bermuda and clover seed. It spread quickly and evenly. Assembling was beyond easy and I was in my yard seeding in no time. The edger is easy to use so that you can get just the right angle your looking for.

                Great Spreader
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a relatively small yard and have used a hand held whirlybird spreader for years, with great satisfaction. I don't know why I didn't upgrade to the EdgeGuard mini broadcast spreader earlier, but I'm sure happy that I have one now. It's so much more efficient, and I'm confident that the appropriate amount of fertilizer is being distributed on my lawn, now.

                  Sturdy, compact spreader
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the compact size of this spreader, and the ease of dialing in the correct spread rate. For a small California lot it is the ideal size and does not overspread into flower beds or the street. It is sturdy and I expect it to last a long time

                    Good little spreader!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Scotts® Turf Builder® EdgeGuard® Mini Broadcast Spreader is great! You can use it to apply anything from seed, fertilizer or ice melt. The settings allow you to accurately apply an even coverage at the rate you desire.

                      The Scott’s Broadcast Spreader helped save my lawn
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Scotts Mini Broadcast Spreader, and wanted to let you know how well this worked! I moved into my home last spring, and the front yard was just patches of weeds with sparse grass. I bought the Scotts 3 in 1 Turff Buider for Southern lawn (kills weeds, fertilizes the grass, prevents regrowth of weeds) and with the help of this mini broadcast spreader, I am beginning to have the lawn of my dreams! This mini broadcast spreader delivered the product evenly and in the right quantity. I just walked back-and-forth about 7 feet apart, and the spreader did the rest! It was so easy, I can’t wait in till the next fertilizing session! Thank you, Scott’s!

                        Perfect size but mighty!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The "Scotts® Turf Builder® EdgeGuard® Mini Broadcast Spreader" is the perfect size for my small front and back yard. The mini spreader is very easy to push through my yard, and i find that jt makes it simple to spread my spring grass nutrients and weed blocker. The handle control worked like a charm, very easy to use, and the handle was very comfortable to the grip.. the mini spreader is also a perfect size for easy storage. It does not take up that much room. Highly recommended for yards with small yards.

                            Works amazingly
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This made hard work so much easier. Just pour in your spread and push and walk around. It was easy to put together with clear instructions. It dispenses evenly and gets the job done well. I highly recommend!

                              Ideal for small yards and storage
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good for smaller yards. I found the wheels minimally tricky to snap on as no instructions provided. But after that just extended by simply pull up on the handle to lock in place. Pretty self explanatory after that. I found the dial lettering bit small and hard to read without picking it up the bucket. I found it difficult to tell where fertilizer dropped as done dud spray out but most within the wheel base. Light and easy to maneuver but for my feet small front yard space of 3-400 sq feet I had to fill it up twice as small bucket. The wheels are hit solid on the inside and fertilizer was coating the wheels inside and layering on the spokes which was harder to clean. Low profile half size storage is plus if little room for storage. Personally would prefer solid wheels that wouldn’t need to be cleaned as much and dial on the handle.

                                Lawn striping issues
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, this is unfortunate. Lots of good, some bad. Love the edgeguard aspect and the handle. I’m tall and it’s an easy to use product. It’s nice and lightweight and was easy to put together right out of the box. Now the not so good. The wheels. They get in the way when in use and cause striping if you’re laying grass seed. Huge issue. It’s a deal breaker for that use. Another big problem is it gets clogged easily if you’re using anything but super fine seed or fertilizer. And I mean super fine. I’m not sure if they just didn’t try this product out, or what. It’s so odd. I love Scott’s products and have never had such a miss here. Super disappointing. I had to give it three stars because there are still so many great things about this product. They could fix those things and have a great design here. Hoping they do. It’s still good for other home projects. A solid mini spreader.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to use right out of the box. You just take it out, attach the wheels and it's ready to go. To use it, you put your seed right in the bottom and it evenly spreads it as you walk behind it. It's a great tool

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get this spreader, It is so convenient almost hit save me so much time. It’s so easy to assemble just put on the wheels and you’re pretty much ready to go. It will cover up to 5000 ft.² which is more than enough for my grassy area. Fill it up and to dispense you. Just press the handle when you want to stop you let go

                                      A compact spreader with good features
                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a compact spreader you can use for a home with a smaller yard. There is enough space for you to put your 20lbs of chemical so if you have a 40lb bag, just fill it twice. The small size is also good if you have limited space to store your yard equipment. When not in use you can fold the handle and put it to the side. There is a big dial you can set to adjust how much chemical products you are putting out. When you are ready to spread, just pull on the handle and push the spreader. The large wheel is easy to maneuver over uneven surface. It worked quite well when I used it on my front yard. I was able to spread the chemical quickly and evenly. It also has a built in EdgeGuard you can engage or disengage. The EdgeGuard will prevent the fertilizer or other products from flinging onto the sidewalk or flower bed. This is a nice feature to have so you can control where the product is applied. Overall it's a nice spreader as it has all the features of the bigger spreader but it's lighter to handle and more compact.

                                        An easy spreader to use
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was so very easy to put this spreader together. Only took a minute and no tools required. Once it was together we just filled it with our grass seed, put it on the setting we wanted it dispersed at with the dial at the back and then pushed it around the yard. It spreads it out at either a little at a time or a lot, depending on your preference with the dial setting. We also put in some pellet fertilizer and then spread it out over the yard. It spreads it pretty evenly so you don’t get too much or too little in one spot. Love it. Makes the work a whole lot easier for me. Easy to push also.

                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great base level seed spreader product. Multiple strings which dues create varying levels of dispersion. Great cute small yards. The product dues need to be declumped to work effectively. It does the job.

                                            Perfect for a small yard, garden, storage space
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good size for me. I'm a sr. citizen and cant push the larger spreader I have had for years. I hold a good amount of pellets of any size. The easy to read dial is exceptional to see your setting. The leaver to open and close of the door to drop pellets out is very easy to pull and keep open, the door has a very quick and solid close operation. It is easy to store with a small foot print, fits in my car so I can go to do my sisters yard and small garden.

                                              My new spreader
                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotts Turf Builder Edgeguard Mini Spreader is an amazing product that I needed for my lawn. Everything in the box came well packaged and it only took a few minutes to assemble. The steps on how to use this is printed onto the spreader which is helpful. This spreader is used to dispense any kinds of lawn products such as fertilizers or seeds and can hold up to 5000 sq. as advertised. The spreader setting has different levels of density that is needed for any product you’re applying. The edgeguard feature allows product to be blocked off to prevent it from landing in unwanted areas which is very helpful. Also the big wheels roll smoothly on the ground. The material is durable, resistant and overall very high quality. Overall, i am very satisfied with this product and I would definitely recommend.

                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This spreader is the perfect size. It’s not too big or bulky. It’s quite lightweight too and so easy to push around. The assembly takes less than 5 minutes. The wheels are so easy to pop on too. Spreading seeds throughout the yard was a piece of cake. Good quality spreader that does a great job.

Then turn dial to desired setting, turn on or off the edge guard, and fill with fertilizer. Holds up to 5,000sq ft. Then when you’re ready to walk & spread fertilizer, just squeeze the handle to start & walk, or let go to stop spreading & continue walking.

                                                      Scotts Edge Guard Mini Broadcast Spreader
                                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect broadcast spreader for small to medium yards. Large yards would not be a problem, although you would have to fill the hopper more often. Broadcast spreaders distribute the product much more evenly than drop spreaders. The Edge Guard feature is very nice. It allows you to put out fertilizer to one side. This is very useful when going along sidewalks or flower beds so that you aren't wasting the product on your sidewalk or possibly adding something you don't want (like weed control) to you flower beds. The spreader is heavy plastic, which is good; fertilizer is corrosive to metal. Cleanup is easy; wash it with a garden hose and let it dry. The spreader folds to a very compact size for storage. Great product!

It was very easy to put together and send will built. It's all plastic but the metal ones I've had in the past all corrode so this should be better. The controls are ready to read and get too.

Same quality build. Perfect for smaller yards. I have a small hand held crank spreader I used for overseeding but I use the mini now. I'll use the DLX for the big fertilizer spreads but the mini for everything else.
