During winter, it is tempting to put away your lawn and garden equipment until spring. There are uses for your broadcast spreader outside of seed and fertilizer.
Using Your Broadcast Spreader in Winter
Are you using your spreader to keep your property clean during winter? Brinly Broadcast Spreaders are designed with rust-proof powder-coating, meaning salt won’t rust your spreader. Use your Brinly Spreader to manage and remove ice on sidewalks and driveways.
When using a Brinly Spreader during winter, make sure you are using bagged salt or ice melt to prevent damage to your spreader. Additionally, plan ahead and don’t apply ice melt or salt excessively. If you overuse ice melt, you risk it getting tracked inside and potentially damaging floors. Additionally, you could risk damaging or burning your lawn.
Be sure you are monitoring the weather to prevent trying to catch up and overusing your equipment. Think ahead, before it starts snowing, apply salt to your sidewalks and driveways to prevent freezing.
How to Maintain Your Spreader Through Winter
Once you spread your ice melt or salt, be sure to properly clean and store your spreader to prevent corrosion. This will ensure you give your equipment more years of use. Learn more about maintaining and storing your fertilizer spreader.
