What is setting for lime pellets with the Scotts Standard?

The Scotts Standard spreader typically has a range of settings, and the appropriate one for applying lime pellets can vary based on the specific brand and type of lime you’re using.

For general guidance, the typical recommendation for applying lime is around 50 to 100 pounds per 1,000 square feet, but always refer to the instructions on the lime product packaging for the most accurate rates.

Here’s a general guideline to help you with the spreader setting:

1. Check the lime product: Look at the directions on the lime bag, as they should specify how much to apply per 1,000 square feet.
2. Set your spreader: For most lime products, the recommended setting on a Scotts Standard spreader is usually around 4 to 6 (this can vary, so it’s always best to confirm with the product directions). If you’re applying more or less lime, you may need to adjust the setting.
3. Test: Before applying to your entire lawn, it’s a good idea to do a test run on a small area to make sure the spread rate is correct.
