You won’t need a degree in engineering to assemble this lawn feed spreader either. In fact, it’s a doddle to put together and will only take 2 minutes as you can see from my video. In fact, it took me longer to cut the lid open than the actual setup process 😀 If you have a larger lawn, a rotary spreader (sometimes called a broadcast spreader) is definitely one of the ways to go about your lawn feed distribution, and the Scotts EasyGreen model is one of the most popular products in this category.
