Scott’s drop seeder settings

Hey all, just got myself a Scott’s Drop Seeder and I was curious if anybody knows of some settings to use for getting the recomended application rates of some of the NZLA products?

I know I can calibratefor each product but that’s a fair bit of work especially if someone here has the data I am after.

I know that setting 14 gives approx 5kg or rye grass per 100 squares with two passes, but I plan to apply mini prill, starter granular also and thought someone might know a good setting for those products?

    Don’t use a drop spreader for fert, you will miss bits.

      @Garry B cheers, I have the battery powered Ryobi spreader, I guess it's just practice for applying the right amount with those?

      Last time I used it I burned through 4kg of starter granular over 100 squares in no time.
