This formula designed for southern lawns is much improved over past years. Does a much better job. Have used these products over the last 30 years. Neighbors comment on how nice it is to have a view of my lawn. I simply explain the lawn needs to be strong enough to fight off the weeds. Bonus S is the product to feed and prevent weeds in South Florida. The rain amount doesn't wash away the time released product if applied properly.

If you apply before a heavy rain there is a chance it wIll not soak into your lawn but run off across your yard to the lowest points. That is a chance you have to take with letting Mother Nature watering it in for you. If you have underground irrigation which many homeowners do not these days you may have to water in with just an above ground sprinkler around your yard. The picture below is after a week after applying the weed and feed bonus S formula (purple bag). I watered in with the underground irrigation at about 25 mins each station. Just a word of advise for everyone. 70 or 75% of water that you use to water your lawn via irrigation in sunny hot part of the day will evaporate!!! So it's best to water early morning. Ours is set for 4am with 15-20mins each station. But it is up to you how much you waste water and $$$ when all it does is evaporates during the heat of the day. If you just have to water after your mow your lawn after you cut it. Water it that night! You will appreciate that tid bit of advice. Water is cheaper than electricity so it's your call whether you want a greener lawn or ........?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a long time Scotts user and former Lawn Pro dealer, I've had a lot of experience with Scotts products. The choice to go from a vermiculite-based product to a more grainy product similar to lower-end products is very disappointing. This product will no longer effectively pass through my PF1 drop spreader, and even "gums up" in my rotary Scotts spreader. Using a rotary spreader for this product increases the chance of material falling into an unwanted zone (like a flower or shrub bed), causing damage. But with careful spreading techniques to get the product only on the lawn and not the beds, it does have the expected result of providing weed killer/preventer, and seems to have a moderate extra benefit of not requiring as much watering

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used weed and feed every year. It strengthens the St. Aug. grass. Eliminated the stickers and weeks. Grass is thick and beautiful. Have neighbor who uses a plant co. Mine looks better than theirs.So easy to apply. not much clumping when bag opened to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first applied the product it made the weeds really grow however, shortly after it choked the weeds out. Now each time my lawn gets cut it looks better and better. I have marked my calendar how and when to apply all of Scott's great products as needed.

Bought 2 5ksqft bags to treat my 3 yr in the works lawn that I have nursed back to health painfully. Southern weed an feed!!!!!! I am in Texas Bermuda grass people why is this not on the actual product "DO NOT USE ON BERMUDA GRASS".YARD IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED 100S IF NOT THOUSANDS DOWN THE DRAIN.Only reason I now know why is I went to the scot site and at the bottom of the product description. DO NOT USE ON BERMUDA GRASS. Complete negligence on Scott's part not to include this on the package. Complete scorched earth situation from what I have been told by Scotts reps can only lay sod now and only specific ones. Negligence complete and utter negligence. I expect a resolution and I expect to have a yard that I worked over 3 yrs and babied from seedlings to enjoy with my family. Disgusting product and southern lawn needs to be removed from the product. Oh not to mention the weeds are thriving in the dead grass they never missed a beat of growth as everything else died

I recently bought a new Scotts rotary spreader and the 10,000 sq.feet bag of fertilizer. I have approximately 10,000 sq. Feet of centipede grass. I questioned the application rate initially but I followed it. I have over 1/2 bag of fertilizer remaining. If a rotary spreader covers approximately 5 feet per pass and a drop spreader covers about 2 feet, shouldnt the rotary spreader have the higher application rate? Please advise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product for years. My yard started with a bunch of weeds and grass lacking nutrients and unable to handle the hot summers. Now, my yard looks like carpet and has a deep green color. It handles drought periods very well and i get compliments all the time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being in the retail hardware business for years I had the opportunity to try many brands of fertilizer and weed control. Bonus S is by far the best performing product on the market. It's consistent and repeatable and performs just as expected every time. Tried the rest, back to the best!

I have used in past on current lawn and had great success, this year not so much. Put down 3 weeks ago, followed directions and waited, nothing. However my weeds look great. Is there still a guarantee? I have 4 empty bags I would love to discuss options.
