@@DMCnME hey DMC! Definitely not like a mower where you use it every week. Thanks for watching my friend

[@swampyankee72]

I have the next size up. I apply it in spring and fall, using worm castings in the fall and compost in the spring. Great video JB.

[@GarageGear]

Awesome swampy. If I could get worm castings cheaper I would do the same. That stuff is pricey! Thanks for sharing

[@swampyankee72]

@@GarageGear I don't buy it... I'm from New England, I'm too cheap for that!! I make it myself. I use @Captain Matt and the Worm People techniques and make it myself! I use two of his garbage can setups. Im getting ready to graduate into trays. Come spring, I have more than enough to feed the lawn. With your lawn, you may need three. After initial setup, all it costs is your table scraps and veggies.

@@smallblock412 RIGHT! Wish it took less time! I wish some rental shops near me had a mechanical spreader. That would the way to go

[@joemccall8991]

Always keep an eye open on the usual online places for a used one to come up cheap. Just one of those nice-to-haves but can't justify the initial up-front cost.

[@GarageGear]

@@joemccall8991 I’ve seen them come up before! It is an odd tool

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

I buy compost from our city by the bag and hand toss it on my yard, wood and all. That wood product breaks down pretty quickly and adds to the moisture retention. I will keep throwing it down by hand. I came here to see if I needed one. I do, but I don’t. 😂. Our compost is heated to temps that kill the seeds. I’ve never had an issue with weeds in my yard.

[@GarageGear]

@@TheRealSmithFamily thanks for sharing real smith!

[@BenNawrath]

Spot on review bro bro. I’ve borrowed them before (cost me a 6 pack), and loading sucks. From bags too. You could use a leaf blower to break up those little leftover piles!

[@GarageGear]

@@BenNawrath hey Ben! Thanks for sharing your experience too bud! Thought about using a blower but I wanted to see how unlevel some spots have become. I only used that for a couple of minutes though which was cool. 👍👍

[@BenNawrath]

@@GarageGear I hear ya. I don’t have a landscape rake, and my blower is battery (ego), so it’s just easy lol.

[@GarageGear]

@@BenNawrath RIGHT ON brother!

[@FlippinOPE]

I got a similar one called Vevor, It’s a great tool, I got it for $25 off Marketplace, but there under $100 on Amazon now. Makes spreader compost easy. I always used it after I aerate and overseed. Helps to add nutrients to the soil, and just a nice layer to hide the expensive seed from the birds.

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

when would you say is best time to spread compost? you did it for your overseed, so fall would be best? would it not be as beneficial to do it in Spring?

[@GarageGear]

Spring or fall would both be good times! You could throw it down by itself in the spring to give the lawn a boost!

[@larryseibold4287]

I am really curious how well that spreader works for sand. I plan to top dress with sand about every year, finishing with the 30"-36" leveling rake. I suspect that it falls through too quickly, but i see that it is listed as an option. I can see it working a bit better for top soil, where it has a mix of sand and peat/organic matter.

[@GarageGear]

@@larryseibold4287 I would say the second option would be better. Sand would empty after one pass

[@jaybooth4815]

Boy, that looks like a lot of work JB! But man the results speak for themselves. Does this help prevent having to de-thatch your lawn? Great video too! Soil temperature is also important for proper germination. How’s the project coming along? Enjoy the weekend my friend! Any plans? Cheers!

[@GarageGear]

@@jaybooth4815 JAY! That was a lot of work over several hours. Still better than last year. Appreciate the positive feedback as always. I am going to try to film some stuff with the snowblower repaint project this weekend. Gotta get that finished up here soon. Since it’s raining a bit this weekend I may hustle get at it. You?

@@jaybooth4815 awesome you as well bud!

[@MikeinNJ]

I tried one last year. My biggest gripe was emptying the crumbs after each pass before reload. Waste of time for me. I’ll stick to making small piles and using a leveling rake to spread.

[@GarageGear]

Depending on lawn size the rake can definitely be the way to go!

[@theplayernkc]

Are you and the guy that does the Raiti's Rides videos brothers?

[@GarageGear]

@@theplayernkc not that I know of lol

[@Cool7141]

Heads up - this product will NOT work with mushroom compost. The diamond grates are too close together. After a while it just bunches up and nothing gets spread. Had to eventually transition to spreading by shovel. I’m sure it’s better with peat moss however.

[@GarageGear]

@@Cool7141 thanks for sharing cool!

[@lazylearner967]

I've had a Lanzie 24 inch spreader for two seasons. I use it once a year. But it makes that job much better. Loading it is a pain. But I like how it keeps the bigger particles out of the turf. I mow short the night before then compost the day later. I don't usually overseed however. Maybe I will in next spring?

[@GarageGear]

@@lazylearner967 awesome my friend! Thanks for sharing

[@ronstrong9560]

Only 2 feet wide makes for many passes. I'd rather have a wider one & pull it with a lawn tractor. You should use gloves when handling "stuff" like compost or even seeds. Do you not use hearing protection when using a mower?

[@GarageGear]

@@ronstrong9560 hey Ron! Definitely many passes. I tried using gloves initially but in order to open and close the clasps you needed your finger tips to work them. Gloves made this a lot more work so I just said forget them! I would have been taking them off and putting them on hundreds of times

[@ronstrong9560]

@@GarageGear Yeah. I heat that.

[@davidb2147]

You said you gave this spreader a workout, 10,000 sq ft you’ll be the one having the workout! At least 36 inch would have been a little better

[@GarageGear]

Well I bummed it from a friend for a review so I can’t complain about it lol

[@ERidesOn2]

It was rediculus trying to spread peet moss with this thing. Not even a 100' single pass. I needed over 40 after installing a new septic system . Holes are wayyyy to large for peet. You mentioned sand. Are you joking? You wouldn't get a 6' strip with that. For finer materials like peet you need to use 1/4" hardware cloth painstakingly sectioned on with galvanized wire. You will have lots of peet nuggets that may break up slowly to go over unevenly spread areas, which sort of worked. Major PITA for peet. I would never recommend for that purpose. These are mostly marketed as compost spreaders for a good reason. Of the 4 or 5 brands I saw all had the same size diamond shaped holes. Only one manufacturer mentioned using it for peet, so there you go. Now if I want to spread compost, I'll have to take the 1/4" mesh off, that took me an hour and a half to put on. I wish there was something better for homeowner use. Thats my 2 cents. Great Channel BTW.

[@wayneessar7489]

Buy coarse peat moss, stuff like Sungro white label. Or read what is available in your area. Peat mosses are available in many grades or degrees of fineness. Saying it is no good without telling us what product you used is less helpful for others.
