Bad Packaging or Quality Control

For years I have used Scotts® Turf Builder® Bonus® S Southern Weed & Feed with no problems and have great results. This year the bag was loaded with large and small clumps of product that were so hard that I could not bust them up using a hammer. Needless to say the broadcaster did not not feed correctly. NEVER will buy Scotts® Turf Builder® Bonus® S Southern Weed & Feed again.

Does a considerable job fertilizing and killing weeds.

In my front yard I had clover and some weeds. I put it down and it did a real good job with the problems I was having. The back yard on the other hand is entirely different. I have weeds back there that it doesn't touch. What, you can't make a weed and feed that will take care of more than just a few weeds. I used to take care of all the weeds and insects with just one but now I have to buy several. I'm not rich that I can do that so I may find another product that takes care of my needs at one price!

We are sorry that the Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 did not control the weeds as expected. 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. Also, please keep in mind Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 only controls those weeds it is registered to control. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience please contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca

Extremely disappointed!

We used this product over a month ago and have had many rains. We have always used Scotts in the past and been pleased with results but not this time! The grass turned a darker green but it did not kill one sticker as it has in the past. We paid more than double what the product beside it cost. Wishing we had bought the much less expensive product. We have a yard full of stickers. We won't be fooled again by a name.

Always Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get this product 2 times a year and it works great every time. It keeps the weeds down and helps keep my yard looking great. It doesn't burn my grass and keeps everything looking great. It really helps to kill off all the weeds I get from the holidays with the decor in the yard killing my grass also.

Killed My Whole Lawn

I used this on my Centipede grass about a month ago to stimulate spring growth and control a few weeds I had. The product totally killed my grass! The side yard which I didn't treat is doing just fine. Scotts issued a "Special Statement" about the formula in their Bonus S product but it's too little too late...the damage has been done and it's gonna cost me thousands to fix. I might as well used round-up on my grass.

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product after I agreed to use it and post a review. I put it on almost a month ago using a Scotts spreader, and I am very pleased with the results. My yard is a combination of Saint Augustine and Zoysia grasses. My grass looks greener than it did last year and the weeds are a lot less. I can see where it has affected the crabgrass and that is dying. The only thing I did notice was that it did not kill off the wild carrot. All of a sudden my yard has been plagued with this invasive weed and I was hoping that the bonus S could control it. I would definitely buy this again.

I will know how well the product works by spring.

Yesterday I applied this on my St. Augustine lawn for the first time. Florida dictates when to apply lawn chemicals. My county dictates when to water, which is only once a week if using an irrigation system, or sprinklers. Should I hand water to soak in the pellets?

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had purchased this product after trying the cheaper brands. After using this product there is a noticeable improvement in the lawn. I start getting compliments and a strong healthy lawn. Great product.

Works exactly as advertised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have emerald zoysia grass. It doesn't have a lot of weeds but the ones it has really stand out. This Turf Builder spreads easily, greens up quickly and takes out the weeds. As with all the products I have used from Scotts, it works!
