Setting to use with Scotts EdgeGuard MINI Spreader.

Post by idreos » March 8th, 2019, 6:52 pm

I am using Barricade 0.48% granules pre emergent weed control granules and having a tough time

finding the correct setting to use with the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard MINI Spreader.

Neither Scotts or Andersons (manuf. of Barricade) has been of any help

Does anyone know what the correct setting should be for the above spreader?
Thanks for your help!

The settings on those spreaders are always a crap shoot. Even if you knew the correct number; between calibration errors, and different walking speeds its hard to just go by the number they give you.

Your best bet is to measure your lawn and calculate the proper amount of product in lbs. Then weight out what your spreading, then use a low setting and just keep spreading until its all gone. You can try and dividing the amount in half and do it in two passes perpendicular to each other.

After a few times you will have a rough idea of what the right setting is.
