CALCULATING AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED
To calculate the amount of fertilizer you will need to cover your lawn, divide the coverage amount listed on
the label by the weight of the fertilizer bag. For example a 10LB. bag of fertilizer with coverage of 10,000
square feet will distribute 1LB. of fertilizer every 1,000 square feet at full rate or 1/2LB. of fertilizer every
1,000 square feet at half rate. For pre-calculated rates see
Chart A
(Example: 25LB. bag with 15,000 sq. ft.
coverage = 1.7LB./1,000 sq. ft.). Use
Chart B
to find the closest spreader setting (Example: 1.7LB./1000
sq. ft. = Spreader Setting of 2).
