Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Broadcast Spreader
Best precision spreader for homeowners with medium-sized lawns.
This spreader turns a messy chore into a precise operation, thanks to a clever guard that keeps fertilizer off your driveway and exactly where it belongs. It’s compact enough for easy storage, though you’ll sacrifice the high-capacity hopper found on larger, bulkier models.
