Most fertilizer and weed control products have the spread rate for
various types of spreaders written on the bag.

Sounds like this is an older Scotts spreader and I don;t recall seeing
that model listed on any lawn product bags. You could try Scotts
website. Or if the spreader isn't in great condition, buy a new one,
they only go for about $40 or so.

Otherwise, get some fertilizer and set it at a med to med-low
setting. Apply a know qty of fertilizer to a known area. Then
you'll know what rate that settting is and can record it and go from
there.

Occasionally I run across something that doesn't have my spreader
listed either. I have enough experience that I can just wing it and
adjust it as I go, based on how fast I see it going down.
