    Q
    Will the Chapin 81008A 80 - Pound Salt and Ice Melt Spreader, spread fertilizer too?
    A

    According to the manufacturer, the Chapin 81008A 80 - Pound Salt and Ice Melt Spreader can be used for fertilizers, but it is not recommended because it does not have the calibration to distribute product at the rate advised. Please look at the other Chapin Spreaders available on our site.

    Q
    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.
    A

    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.
