Product is poor!

Price keeps going up and effectiveness going down. Have used 3-4 times a year for the past 2 years on my Florida Floritam lawn and never have I had so many weeds. Doesn’t kill any of them. Lived in Florida 35 years and always have taken pride in my lawn. Time to look for a different product!

Best product for Southern Lawns

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many products over the years, but this one is hands down the BEST. Our lawns are always the envy of the neighborhood, lush green strong weed free grass! Scotts make it so easy to apply. Just get the push along spreader or the handheld. The bag tells you what number to set the spreader, you fill up and walk along. I always water in well with the hose, to make sure the product gets into the soil/roots. If you follow the instructions and reuse later in the year, you too will have the best lawn ever.

okay

i think that using this product consistently (4 applications) did prevent weeds this spring - there were nowhere near the number of weeds we had in previous years. however, the application instructions are very confusing. Scotts should address this! the bag seems to indicate that 4x per year is optimal, yet the website product info says no more than 2x per year. the poor souls who had no luck with this product were advised to apply when daytime temps are consistently 60-85 degrees and to apply to dry lawns. but the bag indicates dry OR wet lawn. it says apply in early spring (pre-emergent!) and temps are NOT 60-85 in February. and now, in rereading the website and bag, i see that i shouldn't have used this product on my lawn because it is a mix of st. augustine and bermuda. Buyers and Users - read instructions carefully! but, Scotts, please rethink/rewrite your instructions!

Best yard in the neighborhood

We have been using Scotts products the past 3 years and our St. Augustine grass looks great. We use the Bonus S in the Spring and then follow up with the Turf Builder in Summer. We get asked all the time how we get our grass to look so good! Another thing is to not cut St. Augustine grass below 3 inches, 4 is even better.

St Augustine is Green & dollar weed is yellow

I have St Augustine Floratam sod in northeast Florida. I have been using Scott's bonus S for years with success. This year dollar weed invaded my back yard from my neighbor. I applied bonus S and after two weeks I can see the dollar weed leaves turning yellow and brown. Thank you Scott's. In the front yard I missed a strip of lawn. The rest of the lawn is much darker/greener. You can easily tell how effective the "feed" of weed and feed is working.

Worked Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this to my lawn back in April. The only problem was we didn’t get the anticipated rainfall that day and I didn’t water it in as well as I should have. The product has worked very well for me in previous years.

I've used this product for years. Never. Again.

I've used this product for years. (Both the white and purple and the silver and purple bags). I've never had an issue before but this time it killed major sections of my lawn which will never recover. I can't reseed the whole thing due to having two dogs that I can't keep off the lawn for a long enough for it to grow. I will have to spend thousands to resod my whole. I wish I Scott's would pay to fix my whole lawn, but that's not going to happen.

This product did not work at all

I have a bad infestation of dollar grass, along with patches of clover. I bought a bag of the Bonus S and applied it as directed using a Scott’s Broadcast spreader. I applied it twice within a month before night time temperatures dropped below 60 degrees. The product had no effect on either the dollar weed or the clover. The directions say to use while actively growing, so I expected to see the spots infested with the weeds to turn brown after a couple of weeks. This didn’t happen and the weeds are still thriving. I used Scott’s products on my lawn since I moved to this house in October, 2020. I used the recommended Scott’s products at the recommended times since I moved here. My lawn is green, but overall, has more weeds now than when the sod was installed in September, 2020. For what I spent for the Scotts fertilizers and weed and feeds, and broadcast spreader, I could have had a professional company come in. These pictures were taken a year after I started using the Scott’s products, and only represent a small area of my lawn. I will not be wasting any more of my money on Scott’s products anymore.

Steve, we're sorry to hear Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed didn't control the dollarweed as expected. Dollarweed can be very difficult to completely eradicate, and it thrives in moist conditions. Reducing how often you water your lawn will help weaken it, making it more susceptible to weed controls. Please contact us here so we can assist you with our product guarantee: https://www.scotts.com/en-us/help-center

Best against the rest!

[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!

Healthy Southern Lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Scott's Fertilizers for southern lawns since the beginning of this year, and I have to say the attach photo says it all. The lawn is a beautiful color green, lush, and thick. I highly recommend this product. Also check out the my lawn app. It is great for keeping us diy-ers on schedule.
