Airborne material spreading assembly and method for spreading material

A spreading assembly for dispersing spreadable material, the spreading assembly comprising:

• a spreadable material container defining a container interior volume and having at least one material outlet opening in material communication with the container interior volume and through which the spreadable material contained in the container interior volume can exit;
• a spreading mechanism rotatably mounted to the spreading container and including a dispersion tube having at least a section extending outwardly of the spreadable material container, the dispersion tube having at least one inlet aperture being in material communication with the container interior volume to allow a flow of the spreadable material between the container interior volume and the dispersion tube, the dispersion tube having at least one outlet aperture through which the spreadable material can exit the dispersion tube and be dispersed in an area surrounding the spreading assembly and an inner channel in material communication with the at least one material outlet opening;
• and
• a motor operatively connected to the dispersion tube of the spreading mechanism to engage the dispersion tube in rotation;
• and
• wherein the inner channel of the dispersion tube is configured to retain the spreadable material therein when the spreading mechanism is not engaged in rotation.
