The square footage that a granule product such as Ferti-Lome Crabgrass Preventer Plus Lawn Food 20-0-3 should cover will remain the same, regardless of what applicator you are using. Since there are easily hundreds of spreaders on the market, it is impossible for every manufacturer to give you every recommendation on the setting you would need for your application. The 20 lb bag of this product will cover 3,300-6,600 square feet, depending on whether you are applying in Spring or Fall and what type of turf you have. Please see the product label for complete details. For tips calibrating your spreader, we have a great video on our Granular Spreaders page. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the video.
