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.
What ever you're speading will have the setting listed on the side of the bag
This depends on what you're spreading - and on what surface. Please be a little more specific. What is it you're spreading and is it on grass. Are you spreading it this time of year?
Thank you for your cooperation.
I will add that if you're spreading a 'hot' fertilizer you can easily kill off your entire lawn with one heavy spread of the chemicals. Do as you wish but I simply am attempting to keep someone from burning up their lawn.

I called Scotts, and according to them the Edgeguard Deluxe uses the same settings as the SpeedyGreen 3000.

I found drop-rate tables at http://www.vigoro.com/ProductCategories/WeedInsectControl/SummerFertilizer/ProductDetails/Spreader+Settings.htm and http://www.bayeradvanced.com/media/productlabel/502840A_label.pdf. I don't know how accurate they are, but they are consistent with one another so I'm using them :)

SOURCE: IS there a place that lists spreader settings for
If the product you are planning on applying has a spreader setting for a Scotts AccuGreen, or specifically for the AccuGreen 3000; you can use that recommendation in your Turf Builder Classic Drop Spreader. If they do not have a suggested spreader setting for the Accugreen, or Accugreen 3000 settings then this question would best be answered by calling Scotts directly @ 1-800-543-8873. One of our associates would be happy to assist you further.

The bag doesn't have the Scott's Mini spreader listed. Does anyone else know what setting to use?
