ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for dispensing granular material onto a surface including a hand-operated spreader. The spreader includes a hopper for containing the granular material with a feed opening through which the granular material is dispensed from the hopper. The apparatus further includes a storage bin for containing a quantity of the granular material. The storage bin is removably connected to the hopper so that the granular material is readily transferable between the hopper and the storage bin. A method for transferring and dispensing granular material is also disclosed where the spreader is inverted and connected to the top end of the storage bin. The assembly is then inverted for use. Thereafter, the assembly is inverted again and the spreader is disconnected from the storage bin. A separate lid covers the storage bin until it is further needed.
