fertilizing mystery
I have a Scotts rotary fertilizer spreader model 1000, which I bought
several years ago but haven't used much. This fall I decided to give my lawn a fall fertilization for the first time, so I bought a bag of Scotts' Turf Builder Pro 31-3-8. It said it covered 9600 square feet, and since my lawn is less than 8000 square feet I bought one 28 lb bag. On the bag it said to set my spreader to 3 1/2, which I did. The problem was that it only covered 1/3 the lawn before it was all gone. I hope that doesn't mean I burnt the lawn, and I also can't think of what I could have done wrong. I was careful to spread it according to directions (about 4-5 feet between each spread, which is certainly the width of the throw). I guess I won't buy more now, since I won't be able to remember where I left off. So next Spring the outside part of my lawn will be either burnt or really happy? |
