Here are a few tips for using the Scotts AccuGreen 1000 Drop Spreader: * Always fill on a flat surface, other than the lawn. * Check the back of the bag for proper spreader settings. * Avoid streaks by slightly overlapping each strip with the previous strip. This can be done by lining the wheel track up with the ARROW on the top edge of the hopper. * Use a walking speed of approximately 20 feet every 5 seconds. * If your lawn is rectangular, apply product the longest direction. Apply two header strips across each end for a turning area. (HEADER STRIPS ARE SIMPLY TO BORDER THE LAWN IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AN EVEN APPLICATION) Steer smoothly around obstacles, keeping wheel away from any area you do not wish to treat. CAUTION: Exercise care around ornamental plants, because weed controls can damage them. * If your lawn is an irregular shape, apply a header strip completely around it. Then apply product back and forth in the longest direction.
