Good weed and feed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having used this product in both central Florida and the South Carolina low country, I can attest to its effectiveness, though patience is required for its full effect. The weeds don't die overnight and there are other Scotts fertilizers that seem to green up faster. It's use on both Centipede and St. Augustine grasses resulted in the desired effect. A word of caution: it may be safer to use a drop spreader if you have a lot of plants nearby.

The best product available for your yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this product in the past and it worked out very well for me. I hadn't used any feeding products in a couple of years. So my lawn was starting to get out of hand. The dollar weed was starting to grow again. I'm glad to have gotten a sample of the bonus s to apply in the front yard again. Now I just got to do the back. Easily applying with the drop spreader I used. Then water immediately after. Just like Scott recommend. I have a great looking yard in bout a week or so.

Didn't work this year

I have used Bonus S on my Centipede yard for the 12 years we have owned our house. It always worked well in the past UNTIL this year. Most of the weeds are still here (80%). I applied it exactly how I have in the past. I timed my application a few hours before a light rain. It was watered well but certainly not excessively. I just wonder if the formula was changed or if my weeds have built up a tolerance over the years to the point it doesn't work.

We hate to hear about your disappointment. Temperatures are important when controlling weeds. The product works best when temperatures are consistently between 65-85 degrees.

This product works

I don't normally leave product reviews, but within 7 days of using this product, I noticed a significant improvement in lawn quality, along with a noticeable decrease in weeds. Being in Eastern NC, I initially used this product in late April and approximately 36-48 hours before rain was in the forecast. I plan to use this product again in late-July or early August.

Working well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this to my St Augustine lawn a month ago and the areas that were patchy have started to fill in well and the areas applied to are nice and green and healthy looking. Works well and I would recommend its use for st Augustine lawns

Did the job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Bonus S about a week ago, and almost all the weeds are gone. The weeds are excessively bad right now in Louisiana, so it is near impossible to get them all, but Bonus S made a huge difference!

waste of time and money

Second year in a row I have purchased this product with the same result. More weeds and less grass. I would seek my money back but it was purchased with a gift card, now I will be forced to find a product that works as advertised. Fool me twice...my bad. You have lost a customer.

Not worth the money.

I paid good money for a product that killed one type of weed. I bought this fertilizer especially for Dollar Weed, basically the dollar weed absolutely loved the stuff along with all the other weeds in my yard. I followed the directions as listed, and basically wasted money. I bought a bottle of Weed be gone, and killed the dollar weed right off.

Scott’s Bonus S- 2025

I purchase a bag of Bonus S (10, 000 sq ft ) for my my St Augustine lawn in Florida that had dollar weed, applied Jan8 and watered immediately after application. As of Feb 2 it did nothing to kill the dollar weed much less other weeds that start growing this time of year. Something seriously wrong with this product

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Bonus S and appreciate your feedback. For the best results, we recommend that Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 is applied to a dry lawn when the temperatures are consistently above 60°F. Be sure to water the product in after application. This is especially important when daytime temperatures are above 85°F. We recommend that weeds not be mowed for two days both before and after the product application. If the weeds you are battling have been growing in your lawn for several months, they may be mature - you can tell this if the weed has already flowered for the season. Mature weeds will need multiple applications to be controlled by any herbicide. The sooner in the growing season that you can treat the weeds in your lawn, the better your results will be. If follow-up applications are needed, you can apply a second application of Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 8 weeks after your initial application. Also, please keep in mind Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 only controls those weeds it is registered to control. If the weed you are trying to control is not listed on the label, please let us know what the weed is and we will see if we have a product you can use to control that weed. If you are unsure of the identity of the weed, we recommend taking a sample of it to a reputable garden center for identification. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.
