Types of garden spreader

Garden spreaders are very roughly split into two chief categories: 

•  Broadcast Garden Spreaders:

These distribute with a wide pattern, spreading over a wide area

•  Drop Garden Spreaders:

These distribute directly downwards between the two wheels, keeping distribution limited and focussed.

Within these categories there are, of course, different shapes sizes and capacities. There are several articles in this section which will give more detailed information on each type.
