Killed much of my new bermuda seed

Seeded with Scott's Bermuda Seed about 2 1/2 months ago, grass was patchy but healthy and growing. Grass had become infested with various weeds and wild grasses found in Florida so I decided, after a lot of research, it was time to follow up with 'Southern Weed & Feed'; big mistake as it killed the weeds and some of the clover/nut grass but also did a huge number on my fledgling bermuda yard. I'll never use this again...beginning to highly question if I will continue with my Scott's yard app and account needless to say!

Our apologies that the Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed % Feed damaged your Bermuda lawn. Unfortunately this product is not registered for use on Bermuda lawns which is why the damage occurred. In order to successfully reseed you would need to wait at least 12 months. In order to try to reseed earlier, you would need to remove the top 2-4 inches of soil and replace with new 2-4 inches of soil. If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to call us at 888-270-3714. Refer to this review when calling.

Will Burn ENTIRE LAWN!!!!

Put this out a week ago and it killed almost all my grass in about seven days. The only thing it didnt kill quickly was the dollar weeds i bought it to kill. If you want to ruin your lawn youve spent lots of time and money on, this is the perfect product.

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

reply from Customer Care

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.

Don't get bullied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is horrible. It destroyed over 10k Sq ft of beautiful yard. First they said send 2 estimates and proof of purchase, plus pics. I did. Then some vericlaim inspectors attempted to bully me into letting them on my property Father's Day to decide how bad it was. My yard is dirt. I'd say that's bad. I contacted the department of agriculture and the EPA for an inspection. Now vericlaim is hot yo buy me off. DON'T GET BULLIED! REPORT THEM!!!

Easy to put out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this product out around two weeks ago. I have noticed the weeds turning brown day by day. I have also notice the grass starting to grow faster and the grass turning greener day by day. I would recommend this product.

Simple and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts bonus S is easy to use. Directions are simple and clear. The application process was pretty brief and I watered in the granules. I have some weeds in my yard so I am waiting to see how the granules react on the weeds. Application was yesterday so cannot determine how the product effectiveness on weeds.

Kills Weeds and Fertilizes Lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried cheaper brands of weed and feed, but was never satisfied with the results. I guess the saying that you get what you pay for is true. Scotts Bonus S has always worked well and makes the lawn thicker and greener. It is easy to apply and the instructions are very clear. I have always been satisfied with the results of Bonus S.

Compare a Scotts lawn to a none scotts lawn 1/8/24

I follow the “Scotts” application plan for Southern St Augustine yards with exception of no added products in August as I always mulch my grass and leaves and feel I’m getting an extra “free” fertilization over the year by doing that. Look at my January lawn on left to my neighbors’ none Scotts lawn on right. This photo also shows how effective the Scotts EdgeGuard is at controlling the application of the products!!
