The following chart is meant to provide general guidance when an actual setting is not available. Be aware, the age and condition of the spreader may affect the flow of the product. The spreader may also need to be calibrated to get the proper coverage.

Example
If the fertilizer bag weighs 25 lbs. and covers 5,000 square feet:
100 sq. ft.
———— x 25 lbs. = ½ lb.
5,000 sq. ft.
- ½ lb. of product is needed to cover 100 square feet.
Troubleshooting
- If the fertilizer runs out before completing the area, decrease the setting. Mark off another 10’ x 10’ area and repeat the test until the correct application rate is achieved.
- If there is product remaining in the spreader, increase the setting. Mark off another 10’ x 10’ area and repeat the test until the correct application rate is achieved.

I've never re-calibrated my Scoots since I put it together 15 years
ago.
I just keep an eye on how fast the particular product is going out and
if
the rate seems off, then I adjuct the dial a bit. From experience
the
suggested settings on the bag are often off one way or the other from
what you actually need anyway. Probably depends on factors like
how much moisture may have gotten into the particular product, etc.

So, I just start with a part of a bag,
say 1/4 and keep an eye on how far that goes, relative to the area it
should cover, then adjust accordingly. And if you're off somewhat it
won;t matter much. I'd tend to err on the side of a bit too light,
you
can always do a 2nd pass.

I know the forsythia guidline is widely used for pre-emergent, but
I think it's still very early to be putting it down right now. I'm in
coastal NJ and I would not put it down here for a couple weeks.
CG doesn't germinate until you have temps in the high 70s or 80s.
By that time the effectiveness could be wearing off. I prefer to do
it a bit later and use a product with Dimension which will not only
prevent germination but kill very small CG plants too.
