Jonathan Green Hand Broadcast Lawn Spreader — 5 lb Hopper, 10 ft Spread Width for Small Yards

This lightweight broadcast spreader is built for small yards, spot repairs, and tight spaces where a walk-behind or tow-behind unit is overkill. With a 5 lb capacity, a 10 ft broadcast width, and an ergonomic forearm-support handle, it simplifies small-area lawn care while helping you get consistent coverage without bending or heavy lifting. The manual crank mechanism gives you control over application rate and placement so you can treat bare patches, walkways, and garden beds precisely.

How does this spreader deliver even coverage?

The hand crank and broadcast plate work together to launch material in a wide, overlapping pattern so granules are distributed uniformly. Adjustable flow settings let you control the output to match product size and application rate, reducing waste and patchiness.

• Manual crank drives the spinner plate for consistent spread pattern.
• 10-foot broadcast width covers more area with each pass.
• Adjustable flow settings for seed, fertilizer, lawn controls, or ice melt.
• 5 lb hopper capacity reduces frequent refills during small tasks.

Will it make spot-seeding and repairs easier?

Yes — the compact design is tailored for targeted applications like overseeding thin areas or applying spot treatments without disturbing healthy turf. Because it’s handheld, you can maneuver close to borders, flower beds, and sidewalks for precise placement.

• Narrow profile fits between beds, fences, and tight spaces.
• Handheld control prevents product from drifting onto unwanted areas.
• Ideal for patching bare spots and applying small-quantity lawn controls.
• No gasoline, batteries, or cords — ready to use anytime.

Is the spreader comfortable and built for repeated use?

Comfort and ergonomics were considered in the handle design so weight is shared by your forearm, reducing strain on your back and shoulders during repetitive passes. The hand crank is easy to operate and the balanced hopper keeps the unit steady even when partly full.

• Ergonomic handle supports forearm to minimize bending and back strain.
• Compact, lightweight body for easy maneuvering and storage.
• Simple assembly and low-maintenance manual operation.
• Durable construction suited for granular lawn products and ice melt.

What materials and surfaces can I use it on?

The spreader is versatile across common residential surfaces — from turf and gardens to driveways and sidewalks — letting you apply many types of granular products safely. Take care to adjust the flow and walking speed based on product instructions to ensure proper application rates.

• Works on lawns for seed and fertilizer applications.
• Suitable for garden beds, walkways, driveways, and sidewalks.
• Compatible with grass seed, fertilizer, lawn controls, and ice melt.
• Best for small to medium coverage jobs up to 1,500 sq. ft.
