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:	Whats the npk for summer guard
Answer:	The NPK for Scotts Turf Builder Summerguard is 20-0-8.
Question:	I just used the Summerguard. But I also have a huge problem with clover. How soon can I apply the Weed & Feed after using the summerguard
Answer:	I also applied this and have a clover issue... Scott’s recommends 4-6 weeks in between feedings. 30 days would be the shortest time with a minor risk of burning your lawn.
Question:	Does it affect pets in the yard? I've got 2 dogs and 2 cats in the yard daily! One of each is sensitve to flea and tick treatments
Answer:	I have two cats too. As far as I know insect killers are not harmful for pets. They kill spineless creatures, so they don't affect creatures with spine, including squirrels. As a precaution, it might be safer to keep the pets inside for a moment after applying this fertilizer.
Question:	What insects does it prevent
Answer:	From the scotts website:ants, armyworms, billbugs, chiggers, chinch bugs, crickets, fleas, grasshoppers, mole crickets, mealy bugs, sod webworms (lawn moth larvae), spiders, ticks, weevils.

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.

4. Go

• EVEN SPREAD - The EV-N-SPRED 3-hole drop shut-off system ensures an even spread pattern and provides a feathered spreading edge for accurate applications.The drop rate of the seed or fertilizer can be adjusted to accommodate narrow sections of lawn.
• FULLY ENCLOSED, HEAVY-DUTY GEARBOX - One of the most common problems with broadcast spreaders is the chute’s tendency to become clogged or blocked. Because of the gearbox’s design, it is virtually impossible to block, even when it is being used in moist or damp conditions. This makes the spreading process significantly easier.
• DURABLE CONSTRUCTION - Walk-behind broadcast spreader features an epoxy powder coated "Diamond" chassis and steel “T” bar handle. The wide set tires and frame are essential to even weight distribution when operating such a heavy duty spreader. The large, pneumatic tires will not go flat and make it easy to use on an incline or over uneven turf.
• MAXIMUM CAPACITY - The 40lb/18kg capacity rustproof poly hopper provides a low profile to keep it out of the way in the tightest area. A Rate Calculation Matrix is included to assist is setting for all of today’s granular products including organic materials.
• MADE IN AMERICA - All Earthway products are designed and constructed locally in the USA at our headquarters in Bristol, Indiana. Assembly Required.

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.
