Can the Chapin 81008A 80 - Pound Salt and Ice Melt Spreader be used to spread Peat Moss or Compost as top dressing?

If not, do you have a suggested product? Looking for something affordable to use for [residential] spreading/top dressing with Peat Moss or Compost.

Answer:

The Chapin 81008A 80-Pound Sale and Ice Melt Spreader is really made for coarser materials rather than top dressing or mulch. You could potentially use a drop spreader or broadcast spreader that is made for granules, or you can simply pour the bags out and use a rake to disperse it.
