What is a lawn spreader?

A lawn spreader is a tool for distributing material, such as grass seed or fertilizer, across the lawn. Broadcast or rotary spreaders scatter the material in a fan shape. Drop spreaders are more precise and drop the material straight to the ground. Spreaders can be hand-held or push models. For larger applications, electric or gas motor spreaders are available.
