Saves Time
Because a fertilizer spreader can be calibrated to accurately apply fertilizer at a rate that you choose, it saves a lot of time. You do not have to manually calculate or monitor application rates and the fertilizer spreader ensures that the fertilizer is applied at the correct rate with little or no effort. The fertilizer spreader makes it easy to apply the fertilizer evenly, quickly and efficiently across your entire lawn.

Keep the Chemicals off Your Skin
Using alternative methods of fertilization, such as using a homemade applicator like a coffee can with holes, allows for the possibility of getting the fertilizer chemicals on your hands. You should not handle fertilizer with direct skin contact and using a fertilizer spreader is the best way to have accurate coverage while not having to handle the fertilizer directly.

Many Models for Your Needs
There are many types of fertilizer spreaders depending on your needs. It is easy to make a selection based on how much land you have and how often you will be using the fertilizer spreader. There are broadcast spreaders that are great for covering large areas of land, drop spreaders that work well on medium to small lawns and smaller handheld models that are ideal for small lawns.

Even Application
When not using a fertilizer spreader, it is easy to have the uneven application of fertilizer. When this happens, under application leads to bare patches, while over application leads to a burning of the roots and clumps. Both of these problems are easily solved by using a fertilizer spreader.
