What setting should my spreader be on?

Set your spreader so that it’s ¾ open when engaged. If, for example, the spreader is calibrated 1 to 20, set it at 15. Place eight pounds of Milorganite into the spreader’s hopper. This is about one-fifth bag, or 8 lbs., of Milorganite, which is equivalent to 24 cups.

What setting should I use on my Scotts spreader overseeding?

When using a Scotts rotary spreader, a setting of 6 1/4 is recommended for overseeding. Use the same setting for new lawns or on bare spot repairs; however, Scotts recommends going over the area twice. With a Scotts drop spreader, use a setting of 9 1/2 when overseeding and 15 for new lawns or to patch bare spots.
