The settings on many spreaders are not necessarily linear, so you aren't
necessarily delivering half the amount if you half the setting.

I actually fertilize DURING my first cut. The long grass helps line
up the rows and overlap so that I don't get any lines without food. I
pull a fertilizer/aerator with my lawn tractor.

I've yet to fertilize my lawn this year and now it needs a cut.
Should I fertilize before or after my cut?

If its helpful I'm in London Ontario. Between Detroit and Toronto.





To avoid gaps, I use a drop spreader set for 1/2 the mfg. reccomended
setting. Then cover the area in 2 different directions (north/south then
east/west) This gives the best overall results IMHO.
