What width will it broadcast seed? I want to plant mustard seed in between rows of trees in my orchard. I would like it to broadcast a width of 14'.

It would probably do that. It is a little lop sided in it's distribution, so it might take 2 passes in opposite directions with a lower drop rate.

It depends on the mass of whats being broadcast. Fertilizer will spread 10-14 feet depending on the granular size. Small grass seed will only spread 6 to 8 feet or so, but the wind is a big factor. You would want to make several passes either way for even distribution.

My guess is 2-3 feet wide and maybe a foot tall. I planted 2 last fall and only 1 has come up and right now it's barely breaking thru the ground. Rule of thumb with hosta's. First year they sleep, second year they creep and third year they leap.

I would say yes to the inoculant. I could start the seed in a paper towel but could not keep it growing in a pot. That's many pots and tried a nursing crop like rye grass ... Googled up the growing and am still mNot having luck. I am now going to transplant a mature crop from a source down the street. I did plant about a pound of seed and grass seed in the late Michigan Fall on the bluff on the shores of Lake Huron 40 miles North of Port Huron and will have to wait and see on how that will do. But still counting on the transplant crop I will do this early Spring. Good luck on the starting of the Crown Vitch , all the best. I would say yes to the inoculant.

That depends on the fertilizer you use, on the back of your bag it will give you the proper setting for this spreader regardless of the brand of fertilizer. It should also give you the same info for seed.

I use this light to illuminate a 4'x4' tray. The plants on the very edges all lean inwards towards the center. I went to a different reflector, 24"x24" and this eliminated the plant lean. I think the reflector would be good for a 3'x3' grow at max. The ballast and bulbs are good though.

If I had a large area to seed I would definitely use this spreader, utilizing one of the smaller setting numbers. You'll need to check the specs on the seed product itself for the recommended settings; if this is not easily obtainable sometimes you can contact the manufacturer (Earthway) for their guidelines. But the range of settings for the Earthway spreader makes it very versatile.

I did a 10"x40" section. I turned the soil over with a cultivator and spread grass seed. I covered it with landscape fabric and seeded it again (maybe not necessary) but I got good results. Do not be in a hurry to remove fabric because the new grass will come right out with it. John F

I'm sorry that I can't give a perfect answer. The package came in the middle of winter, so I haven't been able to plant anything yet. My guess is that it will take about 30 ft. x 15 ft.

A single insert is 3 & 9/16ths x 3 & 9/16ths x 6 & 1/2 inches. The 3 stacked are just short of 18 inches. I tossed the "even seed" parts. They work but they are not needed and I think it cuts down on the total amount of seed you can load into the feeder. The 3 stacked offer 12 feeding portals. I blocked off 6 of them. No need to feed the whole flock at one time.

I just used a handheld spreader. It throws about a 6' wide swath which was more that wide enough to cover my flower beds, which is where I used it.

Lol, there should be some guidelines on the bag, since its a general fertilizer it should go by the size of your tree and not the fruit itself, meaning go by the trunk size of the tree. Either way, too much is a bad thing, I would put no more than two at opposite ends of each other at least 6-8" from the trunk. miracle gro should have a website to go to-the best advice- I would check their website

Hello Bryan, First, every case is different. The coverage area and quality of coverage varies depending on the area you are covering. Trees, buildings and weather can all affect the quality of your signal. With that being said, the general coverage area of this booster system is up to 10,000 square feet. Can you clarify what you mean by "be configured to boost outside the building"? Would you like for the broadcast range to reach outside of the building or would you like to set up the system outside? In addition we can also provide outdoor antennas that can be configured to use with this system. I hope this clarifies things for you, we are happy to help. Feel free to ask about anything else you need help with. Regards, CellAntenna Corp.

Terry-I have found that these trees work in a larger area then the manufacture states. I have placed them all around my large yard & in large built in brick flower beds that surround my home-I use one per bed-about 7 to 10 feet long -I am in a warm climate ?? I just know that this product works & harms no one. All of Gods creatures-us too -unharmed- Bless who came up with this...go U Scram...J.J.

Can't think of a seed small enough, but it would have to be at most the same size as any thistle type of seed... GREAT feeder, though....... We feed year around and are in Vermont so our criteria are a real challenge for any feeder and we're in our second year.

I just spread both Bermuda seed (very small seed size) and Bahia seed (a little larger), but I was concerned that the Brinly would not do as even a job as my small hand held spreader. The Brinly is perfect for all forms of granular fertilizer, so it might work just as well for small seed. It is a cascading unit, with an approximate 5' total spread width....maybe 6'. I use settings 4 to 5 for fertilizer, so setting it at 1 or 2 should work fine for seed, but I just wanted a little more control on spreading the seed.If I had been planting more than a couple acres of seed, I would have definitely used the Brinly.

I did it the other way around. Seeds then transplant which it what it seems to be designed to do. It is compact and provides plenty of light, but the size may limit what you want to use it for. I don't know what your started plants are but look at the dimensions. Even my cherry tomatoes outgrew it but it does everything it is designed to do well. Very well. It is plant and forget. It will tell you what it needs - water,fertilizer,etc.

Not wide enough for normal plants. It didnt work for me. But in all fairness, I may have put them in too late. My plants were already big. I still used them but had to do some modifying. I think if you set it up when plants are small they would work good.
