FAQs

What setting should my Scotts Speedy Green spreader be on? ›

The numbers stand for an application rate. A bag of commercial fertilizer will usually have numbers for where to set either broadcast or drop spreaders to get the recommended amount of fertilizer laid down.

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.

If your spreader's arc measures 12 feet across to its outermost points, the effective coverage is 9 feet wide. Passes across the lawn should be 9 feet apart. For best coverage, set the spreader at 50 percent, and then spread your seed two ways in a crosshatch pattern.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

3.6 lbs/1,000 sq. ft.

A well-fed lawn is healthier, which means it has a better root system to combat heat, cold, drought, mowing, foot traffic, and other stresses. While feeding your lawn once a year will improve its condition, feeding it 4 times a year will make it even healthier and more beautiful.

For granular top dressing, you can use a regular broadcast or drop spreader, such as the Scotts® Turf Builder® Classic® Drop Spreader or the Scotts® Turf Builder® EdgeGuard® Mini Broadcast Spreader.

The spreader constant is the number of sensor pulses divided by per cubic foot of material discharged per revolution (CFR). The constant is different for different gate settings, conveyor widths and drives. The spreader constant is only ONE variable that yields correct pounds per acre (lb/ac).

What kind of spreader is best for grass seed? ›

per 1,000 square feet, set your Scott's Speedy Green 2000 to 3.75. Set the knob at 7.0 to spread at 4.6 lbs. per 1,000 square feet.

If your lawn is over 40m2, it's a good idea to invest in a grass seed spreader to make things more efficient. They come in different forms. Some are hand-held and some you push along with wheels. Some fling the seed out using a rotary mechanism whereas others sprinkle or drop the seed in one spot.

One Way to Calibrate a Sprayer

Measure the distance in inches between spray nozzles on the boom. Calculate the desired nozzle output (ounces or gallons). Catch one minute's worth of water from one or two nozzles at the operating pressure. Adjust the pump pressure or ground speed until the desired output is reached.

- Multiply the sprayer capacity by square meterage covered. - For example, if you have a 16L knapsack and you have measured that you have covered 20m2 then you would do 16L (knapsack capacity) x 20m2 (area covered with 1L) = 320m2.
