new to the forum here. looks like a great source of info. has anyone ever used the drum type spreader for compost for the lawn. its the one that has a door on the drum to add compost and you push it. it looks like a lawn roller. if so how do they work? thanks |

When I was a kid in the 60s my dad was a gardener in Palm Springs Ca. We used these all the time. They were either a mesh or had lots of holes. As you push it forward, the compost just falls out evenly. I have been looking for one since I have gone organic but can't find one. Do you know where to get one? Dennis |

It may seem obvious but they only work if the compost particles are screened much finer than the screen on the roller. |
