First, the setting slide is located where you have to hold the base, causingit to shift. Since there's no trigger/lever to open/close to release productthis same setting slider must be used to open&close;, which is difficult tosee & begins to dump excessive product to the ground. Also the broadcast isa very large area & not controllable. While applying fertilizer it shoots itback on your clothing & completely soiled my jacket & jeans. What a MESS!!&More work than I wanted, from something that I had hoped would save me time.(The included documentation is lacking, with only generalized settings.)
