Why We Love This Deal
My yard is still buried in piles of crusty snow, but we’ve officially turned a corner into March, and that means yard care season is coming up fast (in some parts of the country, it’s already begun). Now’s the time to stock up on the lawn and garden tools you need—and save. Right now, Amazon has an awesome deal on a broadcast spreader that’ll really come in handy for lawn care chores and so much more.
The Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader is on sale for $45, a 33% discount from its normal price of $67. Amazon’s sale price matches the price at Walmart (although it’s low stock), and it beats what Ace and Scotts are offering. We'd recommend this size over the Deluxe model and the handheld Whirl for medium-sized lawns.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Dimensions: 21.5 x 16 x 18 inches
- Coverage: Up to 5,000 sq ft
- Wheels: Plastic
- Other Features: Folding handle
- Best For: Spreading ice melt, sand, seeds
The Mini Broadcast Spreader holds enough product to cover up to 5,000 square feet, and it’s a good choice for all urban and some suburban lawns. Unlike the Scotts hand spreader, its wheeled design takes the weight off your body—all you have to do is push it. Its wide hopper makes it easy to load up, and you can adjust its spreader setting (how much material it releases as you move) with a simple dial on the back.
A lever on the handlebar allows you to stop and start spreading on the fly, and the Mini includes an EdgeGuard that you can engage to prevent spreading material onto a driveway or walkway. Finally, the Mini is relatively compact, and the handlebar folds up for tidy storage, so it won’t take up a ton of space in your garage or garden shed.
The best part? This really is a four-season tool. You can use it right now to spread sand or ice melt over slippery patches on your sidewalk, and then use it for sowing seeds and spreading fertilizer in the spring, summer, and fall.
