CHART
Desired Application Rate (lbs./1,000 sq. ft.)
_____________
To determine the desired application rate divide the area (sq. ft.) that the bag says it should cover, by the
weight of the bag, and then multiply by 1,000. (Example: 5,000 sq. ft. / 25 lbs. = .005 x 1,000 = 5lbs. per 1,000
sq. ft.)
Weight of Material Placed in Bag/Hopper
-
Subtract the Weight of Material Left in Bag/Hopper
=
Weight of Material Used
X
Multiply by the Width of Spread Area by Length (50 feet)
=
Total Spread Area
Divide the Weight of Material Used by the Total Spread Area = _________lbs.\sq. ft.
Multiply the lbs.\sq. ft. from above times 1,000 = ________lbs.\1,000 sq. ft.
Compare the results of your test to the desired application rate.
Adjust the rate setting stop accordingly and run through the test again.
Repeat this process until you have achieved the desired application rate.
These settings are intended as a guide only. Variations in physical characteristics of material applied, brisk
walking speed (3 mph.), and roughness of ground surface may require slightly different spreader settings. Due
to the above conditions, Earthway Products, Inc. makes no warranty as
to the uniformity of coverage actually obtained from the setting listed.
