could this be used to spread composted manure?

I do not think that would work for compost, I discovered after purchase the cart needs to be weighed down to make the aerator dig into the ground.

I think it would work as long as the manure is in pulverized condtion. Try it it cant hurt anything

I don't think you can spread anything other than dry, non clumping materials that would slide through narrow slits. The unit has slots/slits that the opening can be adjusted, and a rotating paddle bar helps sweep the materials into the slots. Not big enough for any kind of gravel either. It is made for seed and fertilizer.

i don't see why it couldn't...I used my drop spreader for grass seed and it worked

Do you mean you want to add it to your compost pile for gardening? It is made from corn so I suppose it is possible but I wouldn't want used cat litter in my compost pile.

Yes it can. That is what we use it for. Example: Getting the drainage out of the meat laof dish right out of the oven.

Based on my experience, I would say it's meant for liquids. I don't think it will work well as a spreader, as the spray head clogs easily.

I don't believe so - that is unless the cinder mix is very fine. The spreader does great with grass seed or lawn fertilizer, but I think it would have a tendency to clog with larger grain material. But -- I've never tried spreading cinders with it.

That might be true for some types of weeds. Or if you didn't follow with compost. I have found that the combination of using this tool and then applying 2 inches of compost to work very well.

That depends on what you fill it with. It is good for spreading water but worthless for spreading fertilizer and unfortunately I have not found any other lower cost products that work either. The older model ( 5 years ago ) worked very well but this re-designed product is cheaply made and very poorly designed. You would probably be happier to just carefully broad-cast the fertilizer by hand.

No, I purchased this spreader to spread mainly lime and not actually Ag Lime. It will work fairly well for pellet lime and bagged finely ground Ag Lime. Manure spreaders are costly and might be best to borrow from a neighbor if possible. I still use a broadcast spreader for commercial fertilizer. Hope this helps

Yes but it is too expensive to do that. It is a starter so it has the bacteria in it to foster the growth of good organisms to convert organic matter into compost.

Some of the key parts are heavy plastic so any product that would damage plastic would harm the spreader. My guess is you probably could use it for that purpose although you would, of course, want to wash it out thorougly before using for yard work.

If you are handy and have a welder you could make a bracket to mount the spreader to most anything!!

I wouldn't use this to actually compost anything for a long period of time; it's far too small to hold enough material for that. Its intent is to stay on your kitchen counter to hold a couple days' worth of compost before you either (1) take it out to your main compost pile in the backyard; or (2) dump it into your larger bin for the city to take away.

I never tried it. I assume it might not work but in all honesty I'd probably just use a rake. I don't think you'd get the thickness by using the spreader.

Yes, absolutely but there is an upper limit related to number of people. So, for example if your camp has capacity for 12 people over a long weekend or vacation, you may load the composter faster than it can process the waste. They are really sized for 2-4 people (2 users full time, 4 users weekends or vacation). The hose is to vent and aerate the composter using the muffin fan at its terminus (power or 12V battery necessary for fan).

It would work well to churn compost as it's made to cultivate the soil. The edges are not sharp, but rugged.

I dont think it would spread well. Very thick when mixed. Would also be very costly for much space.
