How do you calculate the total amount of lime or fertilizer to apply based on a rate given per 1000 ft²?
First, determine how many square feet you plan to treat. Multiply length (ft) by width (ft) and divide by 1000 to obtain the number of 1000-ft² units you have. Multiplying this number by number of pounds recommended per 1000 ft² gives you the total amount of lime or fertilizer needed to cover this area. Example: 40 ft × 30 ft = 1200 ft², divided by 1000 = 1.2 thousand ft² units. If 40 lb/1000 ft² was the recommendation, then 40 lb × 1.2 gives the total amount to apply: 48 lb to cover the 1200-ft² area.
