ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for treating lawns with both granular and liquid treatment materials, at the selection of the operator. The apparatus includes a compact, hand-operated cart having a storage compartment for accommodating a bin or bins of granular treatment materials and a tank of liquid treatment material. A rotatable spreader belt receives and meters the granular material which is spread by a rotatable spinner plate as the cart is driven. Inlet and outlet hoses received within the tank of liquid material cooperate with a pumping disc rotatably mounted on the cart to provide continuous circulation of the liquid material through the hoses. A spray nozzle coupled to the inlet hose by a valve controlled by the operator, enables the operator to selectively spray the liquid material on a surface to be treated. The spray nozzle is mounted in telescoping relationship to the cart to enable the operator to select and adjust the range which the liquid is sprayed. Hand controls for both the granular spreading and spraying operations are mounted to the cart within easy reach of the operator. Accordingly, the lawn treatment cart may be used to selectively spread only granular material, spray only liquid material, or simultaneously spread and spray both types of materials. Although the apparatus is compact, it is designed to isolate the sprayed liquid from the granular spreading components to avoiding "gumming up" of those components.
