The Yard Mastery spreader won't be on sale for at least another 2 weeks, I'm sorry about that. Something we learned is that with these spreaders being pre-assembled, they need some additional packaging (second box too) to minimize damage during shipping. It's going to take a little time to get that outer shell box ordered and fulfilled. I still wanted to release this video because the thinking and approach can apply to ANY spreader you have. RIght now thousands of you are making your first applications of the season and I know this is going to be helpful to you.
For now, please check out the listing here if you want to read more about it.

In the meantime, I hope you can find value in this content no matter what spreader you are using. The idea is you calibrate the spreader setting on your equipment at the beginning of every season just to make sure.
Here is a luggage scale like the one I use to weigh out the fert:
amzn.to/49LAIfU
When you weigh out enough for just 2,000 sq ft, now you can verify your spreader setting without risking an entire bag. Spreader settings on bags of fert are the suggested starting point. Apply to a 2,000 sq ft area and see how you do. From there, it's up to you to adjust your setting up or down based on your specific equipment. Also double check that your walk speed is a "double fast" walk and your overlap is throwing back to the wheel tracks of the previous pass.
Once you make a couple applications, you'll be used to it, I promise! It's not that difficult and going through this training can help you gain the confidence you need to throw down!
