You could get by with a small hand spreader with that little amount of space.

Decklap, I thought to say the same thing, but not having applied grain meals (yet) on a serious basis I wasn't sure if they would clog a hand spreader. The only grain I have ever used was supermarket cornmeal to control a very small outbreak of powdery mildew, and it clogged my handheld so bad that I ended up spreading by hand.

I guess this isn't a problem with other grains? If not that sounds ideal to me.

But if it is I guess I would recommend a drop spreader and carefully spaced applications.

Yeah, good point. The SBM you get from a feed store isn't as fine as grocery store corn meal and spreads easier. Pellets are also problematic for a spreader obviously. But when I use grain meals I just take an old 32 oz yogurt container and dip into the bag and give it a fling. It wont green unevenly.

Hi I didn't think too hard on using just the hand spreader because the door is quite small at the largest setting is like the size of my fingernail..I didn't think it would work well, but it might.

I got the scott's deluxe with edge guard, not terribly impressed, for the most part it flings out and hit the left wheel (edge guard is on the right side and it is turned off) Do I have a defective item or maybe just walking speed is too slow?

I returned the broadcast spreader and got a drop spreader instead, much better.
