This is where Scotts\u2019 spreader settings charts come in handy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These charts help you easily determine which numeric setting to use on your Scotts spreader to achieve a specific application rate. But with different versions for various spreader models and products, the multitude of Scotts charts can be confusing. Let\u2019s decode them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fertilizer Settings Charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-1024x792.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-1024x792.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When applying Scotts fertilizer, reference the settings chart listed on the bag itself. Settings are tailored to that exact product formulation to provide correct nutrient coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also utilize Scotts\u2019 online rotary and drop spreader settings for fertilizer charts. These cover various Scotts formulas, listing conversions for both pounds of nutrients and pounds of product per area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grass Seed Settings Charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Because grass seed varieties have differing sizes and weights, you\u2019ll need specific guidance to meter out the ideal volume. Consult the grass seed settings chart for your Scotts spreader model based on pounds of seed per 1,000 sq ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comparison Settings Charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"795\" src=\"https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-2-1024x795.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-2-1024x795.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-2-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-2-768x597.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LESCO-Spreader-Settings-2.jpg 1174w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How do the numeric dial settings on a Scotts EdgeGuard DLX compare to those on a Scotts EdgeGuard Mini model given the same coverage rate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scotts provides cross-reference spreader comparison charts allowing users of different broadcasters to achieve uniform coverage for a given application rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also find third party resources comparing Scotts rotary spreader settings vs. drop spreader models like the Scotts WIZZ. These confirm corresponding settings across spreader platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pounds Per Square Footage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Scotts spreader settings charts denote application rates in pounds of product per 1,000 square feet of lawn area. This helps calibrate how much material to apply based on your unique lawn size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical lawn fertilization rates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">3-4 lbs per 1,000 sq ft for general purpose fertilizing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">5-6 lbs to correct nutrient deficiencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">1-2 lbs for seasonal maintenance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to whether the rate denotes pounds of actual nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) or total pounds of fertilizer product. You&#8217;ll need more total product pounds to achieve equivalent nutrient pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pounds Per Acre<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Scotts resources and older spreader models use pounds per acre as the benchmark application rate. Know your lawn\u2019s square footage to convert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Roughly 20,000 sq ft = 0.5 acres<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">So 5 lbs per 1,000 sq ft x 20 = 100 lbs of fertilizer per 0.5 acres<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This lines up with a common recommendation of 200 lbs of fertilizer product per acre. Paying attention to density units is key for proper spreader calibration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conversion_Charts_for_Different_Setting_Scales\"><\/span><strong>Conversion Charts for Different Setting Scales<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating through various setting scales can be challenging, especially when different lawn care products use distinct measurement systems. To simplify the process for users of the Scotts Edgeguard Spreader, conversion charts play a pivotal role.
