Jamin here today, and in honor of yard work and all things Saturday, I’m hijacking the site. But I promise I will give it back to Ashley soon.
The last time I hijacked our site, I shared how to build a loft , and confessed I was no expert. It’s all about the right tools, and a little knowledge to accomplish what you want.
So, it’s confession time again: I took a horticulture class at Auburn University and I totally scored an ‘A.’ That ‘A’ translated to an ‘F’ when I got my first big boy lawn to take care of. I couldn’t figure out when to fertilize, or what to use. I couldn’t ever open those ridiculous bags. Seriously, are they made with some type of space plastic? And what am I supposed to do with the leftover stuff? I once fertilized our neighbor’s yard (yeah, I’m that guy, and there is a protocol for safe disposal of said fertilizers ) because I couldn’t stand the idea of an open bag of fertilizer just sitting in our garage. I could just see one of the kids diving head first into it, thinking it was some weird new candy daddy brought home. (I know. Overactive imagination.)
So I did what any self-respecting suburban dad does. I called the local lawn care company and wrote them a check to make all my problems go away. This, of course, all in an effort to prevent my children from eating the aforementioned open fertilizer, or turning my lawn into this.
(BTW,welcome to the SEC Missiouri!)
So when Scotts contacted us, and asked us to partner with them in letting everyone know about this amazing new Scotts® Snap® Spreader System I literally jumped at the chance.
Scotts is sending us one for a test drive, and is even being so kind as to offer one to one of our lucky readers.
Want to win?
All you need to do is leave a comment here about why you want one, and then go like Snap Perks on Facebook (see official contest rules here)
The Scotts snap spreader is amazing,because it’s a no mess, no guess system. You don’t have to break out your Crocodile Dundee knife and slash maliciously at space plastic to open it, it connects directly to the spreader, and when you’re done…wait for it…it self seals. (What???? Seriously??? Will it scoop the dog poop,too??)
It even auto sets to the proper flow rate, which is good because I typically just guess. ;} Not only that, but it has an edge guard to keep the fertilizer on the place you want, not thrown all over the driveway to wash away into the city sewer system and further mutate the Ninja Turtles.
I digress…but I will be hijacking the blog again soon after our new spreader arrives, to let you know how it performs.
Until then, like them on facebook, and leave a comment here, to let us know you’d like to win that Scotts Spreader! Giveaway ends next Saturday {3.17.12} Good luck, and may the best reader win!
I liked them on facebook. I was totally planning on using this anyway once I heard about it so winning one would be awesome!
Ohhhh, we have a huge lawn and this could be a magically awesome help!!
I need this soooo bad!! Scotts has great products!
Welcome back, Jamin! War eagle!!!!

We have a large lawn and between work and health problems this would be a wonderful thing to have! Liking on Facebook page.
Would love to win this for my husband. We moved recently into a new home with a much larger lawn! I have “liked” them on Facebook. Thanks for this opportunity!
We JUST saw this at Home Depot and commented on how “interesting” it looks. Our lawn could use some SERIOUS help too. Just liked on FB too.
Our formerly-cow-pasture-turned-lawn could seriously use some TLC! We would love one of these!
My husband would love another tool to take care of his lawn….Sadly it needs help.
I’d love to win a spreader because my husband and I are completely re-doing our backyard’s landscape! It would be so helpful to have this to regrow the grass again!
I liked Snap Perks Facebook page @Micaela Staheli.

I “liked” on FaceBook. This is one of those times when I’m as excited about learning about a product as I am about a giveaway. Even with the economy getting better, I’m too poor to pay a lawn service this year (Sorry, True Green!). I’ve always made a mess when I tried spreading myself, so this looks like the answer that will solve my problem. (P.S.; I STILL would like to win! Thanks for the chance!)
I would love to win! Due to my struggles of arthritis and my general health, working full time I have not kept up with the yard. I currently have 3 lawnmowers, only one works (when you can keep the wheel on), and with the drought we experienced recently the yard is now overgrown with weeds! Tons of weeds!! It has now been raining so much of which we are thankful for! I would love this Scotts Fertilizer Snap and Go system, that I would put it to good use. It would also make a great birthday gift to myself, since the contest ends on my birthday.
++btw, I did “Like” Snap Perks on Facebook! Thanks for the chance to win
I just saw the commercial for this today. I do all of the yard work at our house but leave the fertilizing for the hubby. Since he will be gone most of the spring/summer for deployments and training I thought this would be just what I need to tackle the task.
Our yard has been taken over by bermuda grass…I long for a beautiful yard again!
Really could use this! Did a lot of work in our backyard last season and now we’re left with dirt and no grass. This would help a lot!
Maybe if I had one of these my lawn would actually get fertilized, lol! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh wow! This would be so helpful. We live in central Texas and have mostly weeds for a lawn. We want to put down a think layering of grass seed. This would especially helpful in doing that.
Thank you for the opportunity!
I Liked them on Fb!!
I need this so bad so I can help with the lawn work and give Hubby somewhat of a break after working all day!!
Looks and sounds Awesome!
Ohhhh, I really need this. I spend a fortune on paying a lawn service to fertilize and really it doesn’t pay. Scotts Lawn care products are the best and I would save so much $. I likes Scotts on FB.
I woud love to win this for my husband who works so hard to beat the weeds every year without much success. He would be very grateful!
I liked them on Facebook! I would love to win this for my husband – who is so busy but insists on doing all of the yard work himself. Thanks for the opportunity to enter
The hubs would love this, and I would love a beautiful, green lawn!
I would love to win this for my dear hubby
He does all the yard work and never complains…such a trooper! Anything to make things a little easier for him. Oh ya, I “liked” them on FB too. Happy Saturday 
so, like, if i win this, does this mean i am supposed to cancel my lawn service contract with scotts? ’cause, i am totally in love with that frivolous expense.
liked them on fb!
We moved into a house with a seriously neglected yard, so this could save our yard (and a lot of hassle and/or money:)!
I liked them on fb. I’m totally lazy when it comes to yard work. I haven’t fertilized my lawn since I moved here 2 1/2 years ago.
I have a large yard and we always buy Scott fertilizers, weed killer,and all of that lawn care supplies. This new gadget would be awesome to own, I love gadgets that make life easier, hope to be the “lucky” one. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these beauties.
Clicked “Like” on FB….my lawn really needs this! I’m not a yard person but I would love to use this!
Our lawn needs help! This would be awesome!
I’d love to win one for my husband! He has been working so hard to figure out how to rid our yard of weeds (aka tiny green onions) and fill it with a lush lawn, and this would be so helpful!!
This would be great for my weekend warrior man!
hubby would love! this could be motivation for more yard work!
I liked them on facebook. I cannot express how badly we need something like this!! Our yard is a weed-infested disaster!! Please help!
I liked them on facebook–this looks like an amazing product! So….it would be something I could give my husband as a “gift”, right?!
Is it the same as giving me a vacuum cleaner for Mother’s Day (and in full disclosure, I TOTALLY requested that present–it’s a gift that keeps on giving!) 
Thanks for the opportunity!
I would so love to win this for my hubby. He drools whenever this commercial comes on.
Our yard is torn up from a remodel this winter and this would be perfect to help us get it back in shape!
Liked them on Facebook (via my husband’s Facebook page!).
I’ve made it my personal goal to take better care of my lawn this year. I started yesterday with weeding an empty bed. This would be a great help!
Our yard needs a lot of help and this would do trick!
We were JUST talking this weekend about how we need to follow the Scott’s year round fertilizing plan for our lawns. We are being invaded by weeds!
Oh man, our yard is in serious trouble – I’m sure this would help!
I’ve liked them!
We have the WORST yard in our neighborhood! So we’d be thrilled and our neighbors would be too if we won!
Would LOVE this! We love to use this instead of paying someone else to do it!
I liked Scotts on FB. Winning one would be fantastic.
Great giveaway!!! I liked them on Facebook.
I don’t just want this, I need this. Two years ago we bought a foreclosure and the yard is still, uh, sad. This would help so much! (Now if I could just convince my huz to run the sprinklers for longer than 10 minutes…)
Oh my goodness! This is definitely needed at my house!
What? I haven’t seen this yet. I came to your site through pintrest looking for ideas for window boxes. HMM…. As a golf course superintendent, I always get asked “what tips can you give me for my yard?” I usually send them to the hardware store for scotts products because they are user friendly and have a somewhat dummy-proof program for the entire year. Then, I lend them MY spreader and let them experiment, offering tips/help along the way. I think I will have to check this product out, it looks way easier than trying to tell people how to calibrate before you spread the fertilizer. Interesting. I’m heading to “like” their fb page now to find more information! Thanks for telling us about it~!
I liked them on FB. I could really use this! Thanks for the chance
like them on fb. hubby would love this! thanks for the giveaway!
Of course I’ve liked their Facebook page. We need this so badly… we have all sorts of critters that have torn up our lawn. Going to need all the help we can get to get it back into shape!
Oh, I would love to win this! I was just looking up spreaders on Home Depot!
We finally made the move out of the city to the “country” where we have a big “yard” – unfortunately that “yard” did not come with much grass
This could be a HUGE help!
Liked this on facebook…would love to win it for my husband; he loves working on the yard and is always trying something new to keep the grass green!
Our yard feels a bit hopeless so we will take any help we can get! Liked them on FB!
Would love to win the spreader for my husband!
oh, would love to win. i am a 63 year old grammy! i put out my own fertilizer, etc. and this would be awesome! Thank you!
Many thanks to you and Scotts for offering such a generous giveaway. I want to win this handy dandy little system because the Mister and I are buying our first home… complete with neglected lawn and landscaping. Let the games begin!

I would love to win this because our yard needs a lot of help.
My father loves working on our lawn though he really doesn’t have much time for it these days, and my mother loves gardening. I would love for them to have less to stress about and to be able to enjoy a lovely lawn.
I would love to win this for my husband…and I’m pretty sure my dad would be borrowing it too!!
Liked them on fb.
I would love to win something to help our lawn look better. We fertilize and spray and it still needs some help.
We are very fortunate to have a home on a corner lot.. that comes with a lot of grass! My hubby works very hard, he also volunteer coaches kids in soccer with games on the weekend. Being a “Scot” born and bred, he is a naturally a little tight with his cash and insists on doing all the yard jobs himself.. yesterday he took down two 45-50 feet palm trees, with the help of a friend !
This Scott spreader will certainly save him some precious time on the weekend .. thanks for offering this fabulous equipment..
Have a great weekend
Lesley
We need one most definite. We have a very picky landlord and I have a husband short on time. This would be so easy for me to do myself. I did like them on FB.
