I don't have quite as much turf as you (only 8500sqft here), but I just use the Scotts 2000 drop spreader. Haven't spread lava sand yet, but I did spread green sand with it. Best tip I can give you is to not fill the hopper all the way up with sand. I found that filling about half at a time worked great. Kevin |

The Scott's whirly spreader seems to work the best. It has a small beater wire at the bottom which helps to keep product moving. The biggest problem I have encountered is wet or damp product. This will clog most any spreader. Use dry product! |

I just threw away a Scotts drop spreader. Those plastic things can't take much use and NO abuse. |

Out of curiousity, how long did the Scotts drop spreader last for you? How much turf are you fertilizing? I just got mine in the spring & have only used a couple times so far. About 8500 sqft of lawn. Thanks |

I had it for years and used it about 5 times. The rest of the time it hung from the wall. |

I've had mine for 8-10 years & it is working fine. Rinse it out & store it properly - it will last a long time. |

My Scotts spreader works ok, I guess, I just can't see any difference in the settings. Same am't comes out no matter if its on 3 or 12... I did notice the other day the the plastic is cracked so I suppose using it as a wheelbarrow was not too good for it. Patty |
