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: How to use Ace Green Turf Spreader

At the bottom of the spreader hopper is a gate, there should be a setting lock that allows the opening to move only so far. This may be at the handle controls but unlikely.
To be sure of your spreader pattern and rate, use the spreader on a parking lot to see the pattern, you can always sweep up the granules and reuse them! Walking speed is the biggest factor in spreading rates.... Opening is the next....

What setting is used to apply 1/4 lb per 100 sq ft?

BigVin, normally the bag of seed tell what setting to put spreader on for its proper application, If not try it on #4 setting, it all depend on how fast you wind and walk with a hand spreader. Good Luck.

I have a scots edge guard spreader and need to put on weed and feed at 4 lbs per 1000 sq feet what setting on spreader should I use

Hi Mike:
The setting will depend on the size of the weed & Feed pellets.
The package usually has setting instructions on it.

If all else fails, the rate is 1 lb per 250 square feet.
Mark out an area about 10 ft by 25 ft long.
The spreader cast is about 5 ft, so down and back should use 1 lb.
Set the spreader at a minimal rate and see how far 1 lb goes, then adjust the setting accordingly.

I have an Ortho Whirlybird seed spreader. What setting to use for spreading 3 lb/1000 ft of Prozon Weed Beater?

I too have been going crazy trying to find instructions for this seed spreader. Go to Ortho Products online and select chat. Tell the agent the UPC code for it, which is: 71549-08450. They can then email you the one-page instruction sheet for it. Otherwise try this site where I uploaded it: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/whirlybird-spreader

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 a Scotts Speedy Green 2000 rotary spreader and want to know the proper setting for your Milky Spore 20 lb. bag (granular carrier). I have been keeping it about 50% open (Setting # 9 to 9.5) but it...

I have the same question, but have not found a direct answer. I have calculated an estimate setting of 4 or 5 for the speedygreen 2000. The Milky Spore is very simular to the fertilizer that I use. Milky spore says that 1lb covers a little over 300 square feet. My fertilizer says that at a setting of 4 it is spreading 2.6 lb per 1000 square feet (almost 3 lb per 1000 sq ft or 1 lb per 333 sq ft).
Now I may be totally off, but just bought the Milky Spore today and will apply tomorrow. I may look some more tonight to see if I can find an answer. I felt it was kind of bad that the back of the Milky Spore suggested only using a drop spreader!?
