After 5 years of using a lawn service I decided to become a diy. I had previously used both drop and broadcast spreaders with mixed results either applying too much or too little product. I bought the SNAP spreader and was amazed at how easy it was to load and then spread just the right amount. The snap product is was easy to spread in the proper amount and the spreader worked flawlessly. The proof however was in how my lawn looked a week after spreading. It looks much better than it did even when I had the lawn service. I'm convinced this is the best way to go. Bags of product for the Snap may cost a little more but worth it!
