This is a pre-emergent product only and will not kill any weeds that are actively growing, it only prevents them from emerging. It cannot be used around anything edible but can be used in lawns and ornamental landscapes, how much you use depends on the type of grass you are applying it to and the program you are using, generally pre-emergents are applied 2 to 3 times per year. 40 lbs can treat just under 1/2 an acre when used at the 100 lbs per acre usage rate.

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. Please take a moment to view our video on How to Calibrate Your Spreader HERE.
