The product works great for me.

I have used Scott’s turf bonus S for about 10 years and I have no intention on changing. I get the desired results I want. And I have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. They stop and ask me what do I use and they say they are going to buy some of it for their lawn.

Greened up lawn !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did well in the fertilizer area, however the weed killer was questionable. After application we had 4 inches of rain, this was too much and the product did not kill weeds. So plan around big rains accordingly. I have used this product in the past and had great results. With appropriate watering product does work. One of the best and easiest ways to control weeds and fertilize simultaneously.

Clumping prevents spreader from working properly

I have used this product at least 20 times and each year I think I will have better luck spreading the material, but No. The humidity in Florida makes the fertilizer pellets fuse together into clumps and it plugs the spreader. You have to stop and hand clear the feed ports and start again. Total frustration. A 30 minute job takes an hour of stopping and starting.

Does Not Kill Any Weeds

I applied this product to my lawn as directed on the bag. I cut the grass applied the weed and feed and watered it in. As of 6 days later, the weeds are still growing and quickly covering the yard. How do I get my money back? Unfortunately, I there the bag and receipt away. I do have my credit card statement from the Home Store

This product works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied Scott Turf Builder Bonus S to my lawn and within 5 days and a good dose of rainfall my lawn when from distress brown and feed infested to green full lust lawn. one that is truly the envy of the neighborhood.I really do kill off most weeds in the lawn. You still have to do your due diligence and pull the weeds up including the roots in order to totally take care of any existing weeds.

Killed lawn

Killed the lawn not the weeds. Had a nice green lawn before application. Now I have large brown spots of dead grass. Used a Scott drop spreader. Didn’t have many weeds before and still have them a week later. Had a heavy rain storm 2 days after application. Lawn is centerpede and Bermuda.

Expensive for not working correctly

First off, I feel guilty writing my complaint when all of the other reviewers lost their whole lawns. My condolences. My lawn is St Augustine and took the fertilizer well. It's dark green and thriving with the wet spring we've had. The weeds however also seem to be well fed and thriving. No weeds have been killed. The Dallisgrass is spreading even more than normal. The clover is dying on its own now that the summer heat is here. There was no weeding and for this price, I'd expect some... I'll stick to the generic ammonium nitrate I've used in the past. It fertilizes weeds too, but at only 1/2 the cost.

We're sorry to hear that you didn't get the results that you expected. The product would not control dallisgrass, but should control broadleaf weeds listed on the label. 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.

Stomps out weeds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied Bonus about 3 weeks ago and it is really starting to work. What I like is it's slow release so it does not burn up my Florida lawn and my lawn is healthy and it helps get rid of weeds. Scott's products are all I use on my lawn.

brought the lawn back

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this as directed on the packaging with my Scotts push spreader. I had problems with brown spots and dollar weed after the winter and this was able to bring them back to life. Greenest lawn in the neighborhood.
