The Scotts spreader causes uneven fertilizer application by throwing product into the wheels, creating dark green lines in the lawn.

Existing spreaders like Scotts have design flaws that cause product to fall into wheels, leading to uneven distribution; better spreaders exist but are not widely adopted or known.
