The Gardena XL Spreader is ideal for comfortably applying fertilizer and de-icing salt over larger areas. The spreading disc distributes the material absolutely evenly and cleanly. The XL Spreader is easy to operate using the handle's open/close function, where the spreading amount can also be adjusted. The cover plate on the spreading disc allows the user to limit the area where the material is applied, ensuring that the user is not hit by the spread material. The spreader can be easily cleaned with water.
