If the actual amount applied is approximately 0.283 pounds (1/10 of 2.83 pounds/1000 square feet), then speed setting 3 is appropriate.
If the amount applied is insufficient, adjust to speed setting 4-5; if the amount applied is excessive, adjust to speed setting 2.
Application: Push at a steady pace of 3 miles per hour (approximately normal walking speed), overlapping adjacent application zones by 15-20% to ensure no areas are missed.

Since the actual amount of fertilizer applied can vary depending on the batch size and walking speed, it is recommended to calibrate according to the following steps:
Pre-distribute fertilizer: Divide 11.32 pounds of fertilizer into 4 equal portions, each corresponding to 1000 square feet.
Small-scale test: Spread fertilizer in a 100-square-foot area using speed setting 3, weigh the remaining fertilizer, and calculate the actual amount applied.
