Never Buying A Scotts Product again.
on May 11, 2025
Posted by: UnhappyExScottsUser
These products are cheap and do not work properly. Constantly gets clogged. Plastic is fragile. Uneven application of product. It's honestly easier and more accurate spreading what you need by hand, and there is less wastage.

We are concerned to hear about your experience with the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader.
Please note, the product should drop down and be flung out onto the lawn. If the rotor plate is not turning, then it will not toss out the product. Please try holding the drive wheel or the axle while spinning the rotor plate as this will help determine if the rotor plate is broken.
We would like the opportunity to gather some additional information and offer assistance. Please reach out to our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714.

Terrible spreader
on May 16, 2025
Posted by: Pete212
I bought a new Scott’s drop spreader and a large bag of triple action turf builder. Big mistake. The wheels are not large enough to keep the hopper above the wet lawn..The spreader totally clogged because the bottom got too wet and the material in the hopper wouldn’t go through the small holes. A total waste of time and money.

Mini spreader
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: Scottssitesucks
I bought the spreader with no directions. It tells you to go on this website which has no directions. The directions they do have stuck and don't work. Your products are worthless if your IT department sucks.

Cheap…cheap!

Why so cheaply made? First week, the spinning finger in the bucket comes loose and disappears. A brand new, worthless spreader!

Junk

What ever you do. Don't buy this spreader. It doesn't work half the time. I bought it for the cost and that was a big mistake.
Response from ScottsBy Customer Care, May 28, 2025
We are sorry to hear you have had trouble with the Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader. Be sure that the product you are spreading is not moist and that nothing is jamming the agitator. This can cause the spreader to not spread properly. We would like the opportunity to gather some additional information and offer assistance. Please reach out to our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714.

Work well
on May 28, 2023
Posted by: dande1949
Works well, spreads product evenly. However, there are no instructions on the spreader or this website that I can find that tells you what the numbers on the dial mean. How do you know you are spreading the right amount

Mini spreader worked but setting info impossible y
on May 19, 2024
Posted by: Junaupsny
Mini edge guard Spreader work as advertised. But I too got very frustrated at not being able to find setting info for Scott’s weed and feed on neither the bag nor the website. I did some math based on estimates and set it at 4. Seems right amount.
But this is a big screwup on Scott’s part.

NO SPEADER SETTINGS INFO AVAILABLF
on March 20, 2024
Posted by: Scott 69
No spreader settings available!!! I see others have already made the same complaint, but Scott's has NOT addressed it. I bought this last fall and burned my grass trying to guess what the right setting should be. All turf products aren't made by Scotts, so it's a no brainer on their part to address the issue. I bet they won't bother and don't care.
