Abstract
The invention is directed to a granular spreader device that includes a tear-shaped container having a lower rotary outlet The granular material feeds downwardly by gravity into a flexibly tube through a rotary fitting. From there the granular material feeds into a hand held rigid tube and from there into a distributor head similar to a shower head. At the juncture between the flexible tube and the rigid tube there is a manually operated shutoff valve. The container has shoulder straps for carrying the container on the back of a person or a separate carrier has the container separately attached to the same. A simple agitator operates a wire system inside the container to disintegrate any clumps that may formed within the granular material inside the container because of moisture.
