We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn
chemicals, due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or
consistent broadcast pattern.
1.Determine approximate square footage of area to be
covered and estimate amount of material required.
2.Before filling the hopper make sure the flow control arm
is in the off position and the closure plate is shut.
3.Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.
4.Set the adjustable stop with the flow control arm still in
the off position. Refer to the application chart on this
page and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to
select the proper flow rate setting.
5.The application chart is calculated for light to heavy
