Overview
Pour granular fertilizer, seed, weed control, salt or ice melt into the hopper, set the dial to the rate printed on the product, and start spreading. A curved hopper and dual-bladed agitator feed material evenly, and the EdgeGuard closes off the right side of the pattern.
Closing off one side of the throw stops granules landing on non-lawn areas, which is the reason to choose this mini over a basic model. The compact body and folding handle also make storage easy. The small hopper limits it to modest lawns, since larger yards mean frequent refills.
Who it's for
Homeowners who treat a modest lawn themselves and want less product landing on paths and beds. Anyone mowing acreage, or following another brand rate chart, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Edge shield blocks one side of the pattern
- Pre-calibrated and ready to use
- Agitator feeds granules smoothly
- Folding handle for compact storage
- Shield covers the right side only
- Dial settings printed on Scotts products
- Small hopper means frequent refills on big lawns
- Spread width not listed
Performance notes
Granules drop from a curved hopper and a dual-bladed agitator breaks up the flow so the feed rate stays even. The rate dial sets how far the gate opens, so the number printed on the product bag decides the result. With the EdgeGuard engaged, the right side of the throw is blocked, which leaves a clean line at the lawn edge.
