What should the setting on my Scott's spreader be to use this herbicide? And how much to treat 5,000 sq ft?
Per the product label: Vexis Herbicide Granular Label 2lbs per 500 sqft is accurate. So for 5000 sq ft, you will need a total of 10 lbs.
Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo, and since the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag we are unsure what the exact setting would be. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info. Otherwise, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.
