This type of spreader is commercially available and easy to operate. Turning the crank and walking at a normal pace will accurately cover a 6-foot swath. The spreader is especially recommended for the use of Benzabor weed killer in the treatment of small areas less than ½ of an acre. Rate 1 to 1 ½ pounds per square rod. OK-1094-11.
