Grass seed settings for a Red Devil 0-10 Broadcast Spreader

I have about 20 pounds of Bermuda grass seed that I need to spread very thin over an area about 15,000 square feet. What setting should I use? The area has no grass on it now (I will be covering it with Bermuda hay).

SOURCE: need settings for spreader for fescue grass seed

When spreading seed, the setting is not important. Adjust it high and go for a light dusting of VISABLE seed on the preped soil. Then rake in lightly. You can never put too much seed down unlike fertilizer. Good luck, and keep it wet for 30 days for best results!

SOURCE: can I use my scotts 1000 spreader to spread grass

Absolutely. If you use Scotts turf seed, it will have the settings marked right on the bag. Very handy.

SOURCE: what setting should this scotts hand spreader be

A reasonable spreader setting for a hulled Bermuda seed would be a setting of a 2.

What settings to use for grass seed

If you are planning to overseed or reseed your yard, it would be best to use a rotary spreader instead of a drop spreader. When spreading seed set the spreader on 2 or 3, It really depends on the square footage of your yard. If you purchased seed from a local nursery or hardware store, read the bag and it will have the correct spreader setting on the bag. If you just bought a few pounds and the clerk weighted it up for you, you probably can call and ask the clerk for the spreader setting. But I'm pretty sure setting 3 will work just fine.

I have lost my instructions for my hand held spreader. The numbers on the side that control the outlet of whatever is in the spreader--do these indicate the number of pounds per 100 sq. ft?

Below is a list of spreader settings. You may want to call Scotts at 800-543-8873 and verify the product you are using is able to be used in a hand held spreader.
  • For fine grass seed (blue, rye, fescue) use setting 1
  • For coarser seed (tall fescue) use setting 2
  • For light fertilizer (Scotts fertilizers at a regular rate) use setting 3
  • For heavy fertilizer (Scotts fertilizers at a heavy setting) use setting 4
  • For pelletized fertilizer and ice melt products use setting 5

Many years ago I bought "shutes" that attached to each side of my Scotts drop spreader. They could be filled with ordinary flour and manually released with a handle on each of them so I could see the area...

Scott's no longer makes this handy helper. Do this, get some white sand and mix it with the grass seed. It will mark your lawn and help you see where you spread the seed or fertilizer. Joe
