On the bag of material to spread, you will find recommended spread rates, usually in terms to the effect of: so many pounds will cover so many sq. ft. Find your Desired Application (spread) Rate Example: To find your desired rate, divide the area (sq. ft.) that bag of material covers by the weight of the bag of material itself. Then multiply by 1,000. Example: 25lb bag / 2000 sq ft coverage = .0125 .0125 x 1,000 = 12.5 (12.5 is your desired lbs per 1,000 sq. feet) Record Desired Rate = (lbs per 1,000 sq.
