SPREADING INSTRUCTIONS
CALCULATING AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED
To calculate the amount of fertilizer you will need to cover your lawn, divide the cover-
age amount listed on the label by the weight of the fertilizer bag. For example a 10LB.
bag of fertilizer with coverage of 10,000 square feet will distribute 1LB. of fertilizer
every 1,000 square feet at full rate or 1/2LB. of fertilizer every 1,000 square feet at half
rate. For pre-calculated rates see Chart A (Example: 25LB. bag with 15,000 sq. ft. cov-
UK
erage = 1.7LB./1,000 sq. ft.). Use Chart B to find the closest spreader setting (Example:
1.7LB./1000 sq. ft. = Spreader Setting of 12).
