How To Use
- PREP: First, check the back of your Scotts product bag for the correct spreader setting.

- SET: Turn the orange dial to the setting you just found on the product bag.
- GO: Start walking at a steady pace, pull the trigger, and turn the crank. For the best results, try to keep a consistent rhythm with both your walking and cranking.
Product Safety
- Make sure you're wearing closed-toe shoes when using your spreader.
- We recommend wearing gloves when handling lawn care products.
- Keep the spreader and all lawn care products out of reach of children and pets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the hopper capacity of the Scotts Whirl spreader?
A full hopper holds enough product to cover up to 1,500 sq. ft., which is right-sized for a small lawn.
What types of lawn care products can I apply with the Whirl?
The Whirl is built for straightforward jobs like feeding and seeding, plus melting ice in the winter. For combo products that also tackle weeds or insects, a non-hand-crank broadcast spreader will get you better results.
Can I use the Scotts Whirl year-round?
Absolutely. That's exactly what it's designed for. Feed and seed your lawn through the growing season, then switch to ice melt duty in the winter.
How do I clean my Whirl Spreader?
It's simple. Just empty any leftover product back into its bag and rinse out the hopper with a garden hose. Let it air dry, and you're all set for next time.
How do I know what spreader setting to use on my Whirl spreader?
You can find the correct spreader setting on the back of every bag of Scotts product. If there are no spreader settings listed, the product is not intended for use with a hand-crank spreader. If you need help finding your spreader setting, use the Scotts Spreader Settings Lookup Tool.
Does the Scotts Whirl come with a warranty?
While the Whirl doesn't have a mechanical warranty, it is backed by ScottsMiracle-Gro No-Quibble Monday Back Guarantee. If you're not satisfied, you can request a refund of your purchase price within one year of purchase.
