Which setting should I use on my Scott's grass seed spreader?

Spreader settings are listed on our Seeding Rates & Instructions page. These are approximate recommendations because the build quality on the Scott’s spreaders seems to leave some variability and inconsistency from one spreader to the next. We recommend that you start with your spreader set slightly lower and slowly opening it until the seed is coming out evenly but very moderately. This will help ensure you can get around the entire yard and then keep making passes until it's finished.
