PlantMates ScatterBox, manufactured by PlantMates, is ideal for spreading granular products in your lawn as needed in the spring and fall.

The ScatterBox Spreader is easy to hold and use, with the adjuster at thumb's reach. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from spreading granules on your lawn in the spring and fall to spreading salt on your driveway in the winter. It is constructed to be rust—and corrosion-resistant and can hold up to 0.3 gallons or 2.14 pounds of product.

Tools Needed

No special tools are needed, but to protect your skin, we recommend wearing nitrile gloves or chemical-resistant gloves and long pants during application.

How to Use

• Step 1: Clear the lawn of debris and mow it for best results when treating with granular treatment.
• Step 2: Check the spreader to ensure it is clean from previous granular treatments.
• Step 3: Scoop or pour granules into the spreader based on the granular product label.
• Step 4: To use a spreader, use the hand crank on the right side to spread. To adjust the application rate, use the trigger on the handle to the desired rate. Apply at the recommended rate based on the label for the granular treatment you use.

Where to Use

This tool would be used outside when applying granular treatment to your lawn.

When to Use

Use the ScatterBox Hand Spreader when a smaller area requires treatment, such as a small to medium-sized lawn or flower bed. Due to its size, it is generally recommended for smaller treatment areas for the operator's convenience.

Safety Information

Always read the full label of the product being applied with the spreader for proper application rates and safety. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling this product.

Special Considerations

Before each use, always inspect the spreader to ensure it is clean from prior usage and still in proper working order. You can check this by turning the crank and opening the trigger.
