Collection: Planting seeds with accuracy and efficiency is essential for successful gardening and farming.

Shop seed spreaders for broadcasting cover-crop seed, grass seed, wildflower mixes, and other compatible dry materials. Compare handheld, bag, chest-mounted, and push-style designs by capacity, application area, and adjustment features.

Choosing a Seed Spreader

  • Hand-crank spreaders: Portable options for smaller lawns, beds, paths, and spot seeding.
  • Bag and chest-mounted spreaders: Carry more material while allowing the operator to walk uneven ground or larger areas.
  • Push broadcast spreaders: Wheeled models designed for more consistent passes across lawns and open ground.

Review the product page for hopper capacity, spread-width information, compatible materials, and assembly requirements. A model intended for seed may also handle certain granular products, but use only materials listed for that spreader.

Calibrate Before Seeding

Seed size, density, and flow characteristics affect the application rate. Begin with the seed supplier's target rate, use the spreader's adjustment guidance, and test a measured amount over a known area. Overlapping passes or dividing the seed into two perpendicular passes can help improve coverage when appropriate for the project.

Cleaning and Storage

Empty the hopper after use and remove lodged seed or residue. Clean and lubricate components according to the product instructions, then store the spreader in a dry location. Avoid leaving seed in the hopper between jobs.
