Its quite simple just overlap feed with half the amount one way then the

but it looks more like scorch marks maybe ur spreader was letting out more

did u use a granular or liquid?"Colin Hammond" wrote in message

Thanks for your interest. I have found it impossible to be completely
reliable when using a spreader. Tried lots of things; spreading when there
is due on the grass, so the wheel marks are visible, works quit well. I
haven't come across a centrifugal spreader, so will investigate. My best
ploy so far has been to save some dressing and fill in the missing bits
later.

Any tips on avoiding this sort of thing?

You were lucky to get away with just a few stripes. When we used moss
and lawn food it nearly killed all our grass. I will never use the
moss killing products again. I think it best to use a rake, but it is
hard work and I don't have a huge lawn.
