I junked my Scott’s a while ago. Found a lesco on marketplace and it’s night and day difference.

I spread rock salt with my Scott’s. Just rock salt and just in the winter. That’s all it’s good for. Hey you can appreciate seeing your consistent pattern as a positive here.

Looks like you pissed off Stewart Little.

At first glance I thought nothing was wrong because those were obviously shadows from trees. Oof.
My Scott’s does just fine when I have a small patch I don’t use my pull behind tractor spreader. What the hell are you guys doing…..

Curious how long it took for this to appear?

I went full liquid now, not like you save time with granulated as you still walk the same space anyways.

Can I come over and play tic tac toe?

All these posts tell me is I should prolly slap down twice as much feet as it calls for. Look how nice the over fertilized areas are!

That’s a nice boulder

I actually thought these were just weird shadows

Take the wheels off and fill them with spray foam. Worked great for me.

Not to be a dick but there’s so many of these posts now. Do you guys really not watch where your spreader is throwing? I refuse to believe this is just from fertilizer clumping in the wheels.

I have a scotts edge master and the wheels are open on the inside but has holes cut out in them as well probably to keep the fertilizer from staying in them.

Dang it, me too. Literally just put out 25 lbs that was supposed to cover my whole yard(front and back) and it only made a couple runs before it was empty… I looked online and it said to set it at 4.25…4.25 was wayyy too much. Wasted $250 on grass seed, I’m so pissed off right now

This is the first year I’ve noticed multiple posts about how shitty Scott’s spreaders are. What is causing this? Constant dropping of fert without it being dispersed? I have the hand held one and never seemed to have a problem

Tic Tac Toe is going to be so much fun!

My Scott’s did the exact same thing to a few years back

Cheap hand spreader beats cheap push spreader.

When I had my first Scott’s mess up like this it taught me how much more fertilizer I could put down for that green green haha 😂

These posts never get old. The funny thing is I have an older Scott’s spreader and this has never happened. Yet.
It’s falling apart so I’ll get an Echo soon

So, given how nice the green lines look, how much fertilizer would you ACTUALLY want to use to get that dark thick grass? Even if we generously say that is 50% of the yard, that would mean that 2x the rate according to the bag is needed to get it that nice. Or is is just that nothing is hitting the other spots and even at the proper rate it would *all* look this good?

I need to know what you put down so I can do exactly that with a different different spreader

Looks like it’s just spilling out and not being spread. Looks like the spinning disc isn’t spinning

I’m more furious at how crooked your lines are.

Honestly this gets posted every day it feels like.. I’m not blaming the consumer, I blaming Scott’s.. why aren’t they fixing this issue? It’s embarrassing
DoontGiveHimTheStick
Your takeaway should be that your walking pattern is pretty solid and uniform. All you need is a better spreader!

Did you spread early when the lawn had dew all over it

Did you check to see how wide of a spread you get on each pass? I use a stick to show me where my next lane starts/ends.

Do you have a Scotts spreader?

Another victim of Scott’s.
