To work out how much fertiliser you should put into the spreader:
Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres by multiplying the length by the width (1 large stride = 1 metre approx)
The area multiplied by the application rate will give the exact amount of Scotts Lawn Builder you need. You will find the recommended application rate on the pack
Use a set of scales to weigh it out and then add it to the spreader ready to apply - do not be tempted to add a 'bit extra for luck' because over-application may result in nitrogen burning
Select the spreader setting listed on the product bag
Walk steadily pushing the spreader while also squeezing the trigger on the handle. Release trigger at the end of each pass
To obtain even coverage, spread half the required amount in a north-south direction, then the other half in an east-west direction
