DIY Peat Moss and Mulch Spreader Landzie style

[@dougmidkiffsr.2333]

Liked and subbed as I fig the model A and the hat lol! Was going 2 build from metal, though really like ur idea much better. What is the length of pvc gor ur handle? I realize they can vary,though urs looked comfy to use. Thnx again for taking the time to help so many if us🙂

[@bhan9637]

Holy cow someone finally commented on the Model A after 20k views !!!! That thing has quite the story, it's. 1931 my great grandfather purchased it in the 40's for $75 then in the early 90s sold it to my grandfather on the other side of the family for $1000. And now it was willed to stay with my brother,father and I. Motor had been rebuilt and has 83000 miles !!! The handle supports are about 25" when building they ended up this length so I would only use one stick of pvc

[@dougmidkiffsr.2333]

@@bhan9637 I love the story on the model A, thats awsome and 2 keep it n the family is even sweeter. Surprised it took 20k views as ur hat got alit of comments,lol. Appreciate u taking the time to fo this video for all interested. Looks like a few months and the little guy will b pushing the soil cart, wobbly legs and all. God Bless

[@trevor-bd4kt]

Do u find the handle a bit short? It looks like ur kinda close to the spreader when pushing. Preparing to build my own! Lost sleep thinking about ur video..cant wait to start!

I built one last month and it works great! I used plywood for the sides of mine. The PVC handles are attached together with screws so I can take it apart, store the handle inside the drum for easier storage. Thanks for the instructions!

You said this is one of your first videos but you did a really nice job. Thanks. It looks like a fun build I might try. One suggestion: A parts list in your description or as a graphic in the video would be helpful so folks don't need to stop the video and make notes. But as I said, excellent job. Now to watch how you did the door! Congratulate your son on his new skills.

Got a wooden wire spool from work today. Work at a welding company so spools are always available. But I'm gonna attempt to make one of these myself due to how expensive the landzie ones are. Looked at diy at lunch today and your video popped up. Thanks man.

[@bhan9637]

A wire spool is genius just wrap it with cage wire and put a piece of PVC through the existing hole for a handle. Probably way more sturdy too. Killer idea thanks for commenting

[@Hunter__14]

ur a genius brotha i was about to order the moss spreader from lindsay but i think ima do your build ......

[@stevengraff8687]

As I watched, I wondered if you would use 45° elbows to narrow the handle like most commercial compost & lawn spreaders. Then I saw you kept the handle full width; brilliant! Less work, fewer materials, greater rigidity, better usability, and balance. If you were to cut the wire with a few inches of overlap and only stapled 2/3 of the circumference, then used scrap innertubes (or exercise bands) on both sides, you could avoid cutting the door completely and have the full width to add your peat and compost.

So I built mine using 19 gauge 1/2" hardware cloth. It shredded the cloth the first use. Disgusted I hung It up in garage until a couple days ago. I bought 3 x 5 ft of #13 1/2" x 3/4" hole stamped steel mesh from local steel dealer. It's been a CHORE getting it installed. Razor sharp..will cut u to pieces! Anyway finally got it all done and added some extra 1/8" flat steel and some corner braces for reinforcement. It's truly built like a tank now. Gonna try compost again later this fall.

[@bhan9637]

Awesome my mesh is hanging in their after several rounds of peat moss. But I have had to do a few repairs/ resecure. Adding some angle to keep everything in place is a great idea. Would love to see your build!!

Good job! Ironically, I made one as well two weeks ago. Obviously we have similar search histories as your video ended up in my feed hah. The company I buy top soil from wants to rent it mine and split the profits. The added plus is not having to store the thing! I made mine out of steel with a handle to manually push it as well as a simple hitch to pull it with a lawn mower. I likely have double, if not triple, the hours into my build lol.
