                  What is the setting for marathon fertilizer?
                  ByDec 18, 2024
                  1 Answer | 
                  Answer This Question

                  Thank you for your question. The setting of the spreader is an estimation as coverage is likely different between brands since the coverage is determined by both application and granular size. Applying granular pesticides with a handheld spreader can be a health concern if the product contains any pesticides. If there is no spreader setting for hand-held spreaders on the bag, it is best to not use a hand-held spreader with the product. With the product being a non-Scotts brand fertilizer, we suggest reaching out to the company that manufactures the fertilizer you are inquiring about. We hope this information is helpful and please do not hesitate to reach out with any additional questions.

                    Stops Working
                    I bought this spreader 2 seasons ago. It worked nice for about half of the first season then all of a sudden it stopped working. I took the batteries out and replaced them and it still didn't work at first but then when shaking it it started working again for the rest of the season. I took the batteries out to store it for the winter. Following it worked a few times and then stopped again. Not sure why. It has been off and on working sometimes and not working other times. It isn't a reliable spreader. I looked for potential jambing but nothing. I think there is a flaw in the way this is constructed. Usually Scotts products are good which is why I purchased this one but this product is a dud.

                        Stopped working after limited light use.
                        Only used lightly on very small lawn for one season. Tried it yesterday and the spinner barely turns. Put in new batteries and it acted the small. I had to shake it left/right to use it at all. With nothing in the feed hopper, the spinner only turns after being started by my finger. Very weak spinner motor.

                          Great concept. Poor execution.
                          Good concept, poor execution. I used twice and it has stopped working. Put away after first use and would not work the second time I went to use it. Replaced the batteries. Went to use it today and it did not work. Replaced batteries. The unit is dead.

                              Wiring is terrible
                              This spreader worked one time and ever since then I I have replaced multiple batteries and attempted to replace AA coils with no luck. The wiring system for this spreader is disappointing. I love Scotts brand but very frustrated with this spreader. Do not buy.

                                  Had problems with the Malorganite fertilizer beads collecting beneath the rotary spreader plate preventing spreading of the Scotts Wizz Spreader. The design of the spreader plate needs to increase the diameter of the plate to prevent bead from passing between the housing wall and collecting underneath the spreader plate. In addition, the gap between the bottom of the spreader plate needs to have ejector wings that can discharge any beads that can collect between the spreader plate and the housing base. Upon disassembly I noticed that the lead to the batteries were pinched for they were not in the correct position as install assembly when the base was fastened in place. However that was not a root cause of the problem. Over time cold flow of the wire insulation under pressure could have resulted in a short discharging the batteries. Also noted the the feature that limits the dispersion pattern allow the Malorganite beads to collect between the selector wheel and the housing increasing the area where the beads can bypass the spreader wheel and collect beneath it prevent proper broadcasting of the beads.
