Load Materials and Calibrate Spreader

What happens here

Load the bags of grass seed, Solu-Cal, and fertilizer into a utility vehicle (John Deere Gator) for transport to the pond bank. Before beginning to spread, adjust the settings on the EarthWay broadcast spreader according to the recommendations on the product bags. For Solu-Cal, set the spreader to '25' to raise the soil pH. For the Triple 17 fertilizer, set the spreader to '16' for heavy feeding (8-12% Nitrogen feeds, 5000 sq ft). The contractor's mix grass seed does not have specific spreader settings mentioned, but should be spread first as it is the 'hardest' to spread. The order of application is grass seed first, then Solu-Cal, and finally fertilizer. The spreading is done by hand to avoid wasting materials and to ensure precise application, preventing alteration of the pond's water pH.

Goal: Transport materials to the site and configure the spreader for accurate application.
