I am goning to be topdressing the lawn with a mixture that will include peat
moss, loam soil, and sand. My question is how do people usually do this? I
am thinking of a large pull behind drop spreader say 125 or 175lb capacity
or brodcast spreader of the same size. The broadcast spreader comes to mind
because it will throw the mixture around and not leave any small piles. My
experience with small drop spreaders has not been the best.


Forget the loam soil and especially the peat moss. If you want to
topdress your lawn, use SAND! Use of organics to topdress will result
in a huge buildup of organic matter. Yes, I know organic matter is
good, but in this case you will get too much. Your lawn will end up
septic and will not drain. Use SAND!
