Setting: 5 lbs. / 1,000 sq.
Place your spreader setting on a low setting (usually one-fourth of the spreader setting range or less). Spread the material over a 50 x 20-foot area (1,000 square feet). If there is material left over, increase your setting. If you come up short, decrease your setting.
The easiest way to determine the correct setting for your needs is outlined below: If you need to use 3lbs of product per 1,000 sq ft you would add 3 lb of product to spreader, start with a medium setting, then apply product to a 20 x 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft). If you have product left, your setting is too low.
First, use the following formula to determine how much fertilizer is needed to apply 0.5 pound N per 1,000 square feet to the turf: pounds of N per 1,000 square feet desired for application ÷ percent of N in fertilizer (in decimal form) = pounds of fertilizer per 1,000 square feet.
The numbers on a broadcast spreader refer to the spreader settings. Typically, these settings will indicate how wide of. Maaria Neal.
ft. or 8 lbs per 1000 sq ft. using a rotary type spreader.
You should apply 10 pounds of the fertilizer per 1,000 square feet (five pounds from the table multiplied by the two pound recommendation). * When using a soluble inorganic nitrogen fertilizer a typical recommendation is to use only one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet for a single application.
In general, the smaller you set your spreader setting the smaller the hole and the slower the material releases from the hopper. There are many different brands of spreaders on the market, and, new or old, it is highly recommended to properly calibrate your spreader before the first use in the spring.
If you want to use a manual process to find out the best estimate for your spreader setting, a good starting point is to consider the following: 1 lb per 1,000 sq ft = 43.6 lbs per acre. 100 lbs per acre = 2.5 lbs per 1,000 square feet.
Scotts Whirl 71060 Hand-Powered Spreader, 1.15 lb Capacity, 1500 sq-ft Coverage Area, 5 ft W Spread, Plastic. 4.5 out of 5 stars. Read reviews for average rating value is 4.5 of 5.
Amount of fertiliser kg/ha = kg/ha nutrient ÷ % nutrient in fertiliser x 100. Example: You need 20 units (kg) /ha of phosphorus (P) and you plan to use single superphosphate with 8.8% P. You can reverse this calculation to work out how much of a nutrient you are applying.
Calculating Pounds per 1,000 Square Feet
For example: you have purchased a bag of fertilizer that states it will cover 15,000 square feet and weighs 46.56 pounds. To figure coverage simply divide the bag weight by the suggested coverage to get how many pounds per square feet.
For more substantial areas—up to 15,000 square feet—the Scotts® Turf Builder® Edgeguard® DLX Broadcast Spreader, with its large hopper, is ideal. If you`re lucky enough to have an extra large lawn, use the Scotts® Elite Spreader. The hopper can hold enough product to cover 20,000 square feet.
For Scotts® Grass Seed Products:
Spreader settings can be found via the Download Label link under the “Specs & Details” section for that product.
It is recommended that no more than 1 pound of N and at least 1 pound of P per 1000 sq. ft. be applied to the root zone at the time of planting.
In the absence of soil test recommendations, apply about 1 lb of potassium per 1,000 sq ft, using 1.6 lb of muriate of potash (0-0-60), 5 lb of potassium-magnesium sulfate (0-0-22), or 2 lb of potassium sulfate (0-0-50) to bermudagrass, centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, and zoysiagrass.
Let`s say your front lawn measures 100 feet long by 50 feet wide. We know from the formula above that this equals 5,000 square feet in area (100` x 50`). Lawn fertilizers usually tell us how many square feet each bag will cover.
The density is 11.06 pounds per gallon. So, the math is: 32 x 11.06 / 100 = 3.54, or about 3.5 pounds per gallon.
Spreader calibration consists of two processes. First, the spread pattern must be adjusted to distribute the fertilizer particles uniformly. Second, the amount of fertilizer spread over the desired area must be measured and adjusted, if necessary, to equal the recommended application rate.
The first number is the amount of nitrogen (N), the second number is the amount of phosphate (P2O5) and the third number is the amount of potash (K2O). These three numbers represent the primary nutrients (nitrogen(N) – phosphorus(P) – potassium(K)). This label, known as the fertilizer grade, is a national standard.
Spreader principles
Generally, high web tensions create a better spread than low web tensions. Too little tension reduces traction, which can result in a loss of web control. To regain the control the operator should increase tension, but carefully.
Spreaders are used to evenly distribute fertilizer and grass seed across your lawn. There are two types: drop and broadcast, also known as a rotary spreader.

I have an older scotts drop spreader, called a precision flow control model and do not know what settings to use with the Scotts turf builder I have purchased.
ANSWER : Hi,
The best way is to just place a small amount… like 5 lb in the hopper…start with it barely open and see how far you get,,, then compute from there what you need…
The settings they give you are guesamates at best and are often set to place too much… why not??? they are selling you a product!!

I just bought a new Scott’s “Classic Drop” Spreader. I owned a Scott’s drop spreader before and the recommended settings on Scott’s fertilizer bags always worked great.
On Scott’s Turfbuilder fertilizer for Spring (yellow on bag) it recommends one setting for drop spreaders which was 5 3/4.
I drained an entire 14 lb bag with that setting before I was even 1/4 done with my lawn. Usually I can do my whole lawn and have some left over. I even returned the spreader to Home Depot and got another one and another bag of fertilizer and the same thing occured. I adjusted it down to 3 after a bit and still used the entire other 14 lb bag.
ANSWER : I am sorry that neither spreader performed as they should have. This is very concerning to us, and we would like to get more information about the spreaders, if you still have 1 the manufacture date would be most helpful to us. It sounds like you could possibly have an over-application of the product as well. If you could call us at 1-800-543-8873, we would be happy to discuss this with you. Stacey at Scotts.
