User questions & answers

Question:	would it work well for powdered lime
Answer:	Just bought a Classic Drop Spreader for use with pulverized (powdered) lime. Worked great with a 40 lb. bag and a setting of 14. Took a few passes to use up the bag at the recommended application rate found on the bag of lime. Cross (perpendicular) application was recommended by the lime supplier. Tried to apply a bag of lime with a rotary spreader (Scotts 2000) and wound up with clogging due to the insufficient hole size even at a setting of 11. Recommend you use granular lime with the rotary spreader. Seems to work well for me with the Scotts 2000.
Question:	can you buy replacement tires
Answer:	Replacement wheels are available from Scotts. Please reach us through the "Contact Us" page on scotts.com.
Question:	Does it say where this spreader is made
Answer:	The spreader is made in California.
Question:	How is the spread when used for salt in the winter? Does it have a good spread or does it just trickle to the floor with very little spread
Answer:	I bought this 5 years ago and only use for salt in the winter, the metal frame finally gave out in the beginning of the 6th winter. Spreads salt fine as long as the wheels turn. Not great for built up ice pack on driveway. Works great for normal use at home.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you use preen in this spreader
Answer:	I would sat yes. As long as you keep replying it each week you should not have any problens
Question:	Has anyone used this with ortho bug b gone granuals
Answer:	I use this frequently to keep the deer from chewing on plants.
Question:	Rechargeable? If not what size batteries
Answer:	I believe the label says to apply every 30 days or as needed. I found that I needed to apply it every 10-14 days or so. And of course after it rains you need to reapply. I found it works well but it got kind of expensive having to reapply so often.
Question:	Will it spread rock salt or only the smaller, more evenly sized (and more expensive) chemicals
Answer:	No it won't keep plants from growing. We use it to keep animals away from our bamboo. It works to keep them away.

User questions & answers

Question:	Wheels in one pic are bolted together with 4 bolts and nuts, but the pic of the "whole" do not show the bolts. are they 2 or 1 piece wheels
Answer:	If I remember correctly they are 1 piece wheels, but I was never successful in getting it assembled.....
Question:	Does this have plastic gears? I have read a lot about these and ones with plastic gears wear out quickly
Answer:	No! The drive and the lever that sets the opening are metal. The covering over the metal is plastic to protect it from the elements. If I were allowed to take a picture and attach it, I would, it is NOT plastic. Most of the wear and tear parts are metal with the exception of the hopper, inflatable wheels, and the little fan that distributes the product from the hopper. The drive which determines how fast the little fan moves to distribute the product rotates based on the speed you are going. This is hooked to the same metal bar that rotates the wheels and then to the part that rotates the fan. I’m sure that I’m not using all the proper names because I’m not a mechanic, but hopefully this all is a non-techie view. The machine operates exceptionally well, and I can easily compare it to the ones costing $250 dollars. The mechanisms are all built the same with the exception of the hopper and the fan which distributes the production; in the $250 spreader these are metal. However, both still only spread 4’. If you spend more $400, you can get a spreader with an axial; this doesn’t have one! The wheels on this are big and far better than the $250 one I had! Hope this helps!
Question:	Where is it made? What country
Answer:	Made in Illinois, USA.
Question:	How heavy duty is it? We live on a hill, just wondering if it’s easily flipped
Answer:	It seems to be well built. Worked great for us. We did use it on a small slope and simply ran the lawn tractor up and down rather than crossway. But no experience on a serious hill.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many pounds of fertilizer does this spreader hold
Answer:	It hold the contents of a 5000 sq ft Scott’s fertilizer product. Think that is about 15-20 lbs. nice unit but you have to be careful on the opening since there is no established way to know in advance the flow. Trial and error. Start at low setting and take it slowly step by step.
Question:	Anything I have ever spread just gives scotts spreader settings, so how do you know what the equivalent setting is using the earthway
Answer:	The spreader comes with a chart that you can use. You basically look at the lbs of the bag you bought vs the sq ft that the bag says it covers. You can use those numbers in the chart to get a value, then you look at another chart it came with and that tells you the setting to use on the spreader. I can't say it is 100% accurate, but that is how they say to do it. I used mine for the first time a few weeks ago and the amount coming out seemed about what I thought it should. Hope that helps.
Question:	Does this have sidespread control
Answer:	yes, on the left side
Question:	Can you broadcast pellets like milorganite and shin nong pro
Answer:	I bought mine to use to spread Milo. I usually throw down 12 bags. Sadly, this spreader doesn’t hold an entire bag so I had to refill constantly. I ended up buying a Lesco 80lb spreader and called it a day. It can fit nearly 3 bags at a time. I also use BayState Fertilizer which is similar to Milo and. I can fit 2 of the 40lb bags easily. One other thing I wasn’t a fan of was it seemed like products like grubex empties way too quickly when on the “correct” setting, so make sure you use your judgement and adjust the setting as you go. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this thing really $89? Am I missing something
Answer:	No, it was a pricing error. A refund was given right away. This thing is great!!!
Question:	Has anyone used this to spread flower seeds
Answer:	I used it to spread grass seed - worked great as it it very surgical as compared to a broadcast spreader. I used it to seed all down my driveway line and some larger spots. I would think that flower seeds would be fine unless they are super small - because the may come out a bit fast - but you can only have 2-3 holes open instead of the 10-12 that are there. Its like a giant salt shaker!
Question:	How does it screw on? How do you unscrew the lid
Answer:	The lid screws directly on the top of the unit. The advantage to this product opposed to any of the other is the handle is actually part of the lid making it extremely strong. Look at the photos in the listing. There are 2 with the lid removed so you can see it. Thanks!
Question:	My Mom is *3 and can't drag bags of rock salt around. How much area will a container cover as don't to have to keep going up and down the driveway
Answer:	Hello from snowy MN!! It really depends on how thick she wants to lay it out. It holds up to 80oz. We have a walkway about 30 feet long to our garage and it easily covers this area with left over. The best part is we scoop out just the amount we need from the bag and go from there. We get it...those bags are heavy!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i apply both the green booster and growth booster together,or should they be put on difffernt days or spaced out? I just bought 4ea.of both
Answer:	Hello,Yes, you may apply them on the same day, one right after the other.
Question:	Which booster is the best to help kill clover on zyosia
Answer:	You will need a herbicide to kill clover. Growth Booster is nutrient treatment and it will not kill any weeds. However, once you kill the weeds you may treat your lawn with Growth Booster. A healthy thick lawn is the best preventative to choke out weeds.
Question:	How long does the grass take to grow and does it work on spots that does not have grass
Answer:	Hello,Great question. This is a plant nutritional product. As soon as you grass intakes it will start using the nutrients where it is needed most. Sometimes root, sometimes vertical, sometimes lateral. Visual may not be evident immediately but uptake will occur within several days. For visual or measured growth it take varying times in warmer weather will be faster, in cooler weather will be slower, in sunny conditions will be faster and when adequate water is in soil will be faster. Growth will occur before the visual eye notices. You should notice a healthier grass within a few days. Making grass grow where none exists can only happen if there is grass seed in that area or if the grass is a crawling variety. If it is a crawling variety it will grow as long as the soil that is bare does not have a condition that caused the bare spot in the first place such as a PH irregularity, chemical spill, salt issue, or disease.
Question:	If i'm going to apply liquid weed killer (ortho) to my lawn should i apply it before or after booster and how long of an interval should i wait
Answer:	You should apply before the Booster and wait at least 7-10 days before the Booster. Keep in mind once the booster is applied it will help intensify the results of the weed killer but you want to give the weed killer at least 7-10 days before applying nutrients.

Question:	Would this work with red pepper flakes
