Scotts Company SCOTTS SEED EDGEGUARD MINI SPREADER () Questions & Answers
What is the best setting
The recommended settings for your type of spreader should be listed on the package of the bag of weed and feed you have. There should be a rate chart on the bag. If not, put the setting on your unit on the middle setting, that way, you are not using too little and not using too much.
What setting do I use on the Scotts Mini Spreader?
Here is the rule of thumb to determine your spreader setting.
Place enough material in the hopper to cover 1,000 sq. ft. (Usually indicated on the bag of product, if not indicated, take pounds in bag and divide by the number of thousand square feet bag covers. Example: 23lb bag covers 5,000 sq ft, divide 23 by 5 to get 4.6lbs per 1,000 sq ft).
* Place the spreader setting on a low setting (Usually one-fourth of the spreader setting range or less).
* Spread the material over a 50 x 20 ft. area (This is 1,000 sq. ft.).
* If material is left over, they need to increase the setting.
* If they come up short, they need to decrease the setting.
* While this is not a scientific method for getting the spreader setting, it will be close.

The spring at
The spring on the Speedy Green 1000 is more of a plastic bow piece. The accordion shaped piece should run through the "bridge" that is riveted to the hopper and then the bow piece fits into it. It is possible that the plastic bow may have worn out and may need to be replaced. You should give Scotts a call @ 1-800-543-8873 and see if we have a replacement available for you.
