Clumpy

Some of the fertilizer came out of the bag in large chunks. I took a large flat-head screw driver and hammer and broke it into smaller pieces and then used my hands to break it up. What should have been a 20 minute job turned into hours. The cotter pins immediately broke on my pull behind spreader because there were still chunks big enough to apparently break steel. Stuff was like sand. Scooped it out of the spreader to try to break up the chunks further. Burned my lawn. The directions were useless - had to keep increasing the spreader number way over the recommendation to get the stuff to fall out and spread. Have purchased this stuff before in the past and didn't have these type of problems. Scott's quality control has apparently gone downhill.

WORKS as stated

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this product according to instructions on package. Lawn never looked better. by mid summer, I had a full, lush green grass yard with no burns, or bare spots. thick grass and compliments from neighbors.

Great for large weed infestations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great for lawns that have a large weed problem. It’s easy to apply with my Scott’s spreader and the product did adhere well to the weed leaves. It took several days for the weeds to begin to curl and yellow. They aren’t completely dead after a week but I’ll give it another week and if I still have some stubborn ones, I’ll spot spray with a little 2,4D.

A True Staple in Our Process

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed is a trusted and true staple in our lawn maintenance program. We have always seen great results using this product. Our front lawn tends to see more weed action early in the year, even with a pre-emergent treatment late fall and early spring. With the Scotts Turf Weed and Feed, it cleans up quickly, and greens up quickly.

Very happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this product for 3 years and have seen a noticeable difference in my lawn. My landscaper commented on how thick my lawn is, (even though it was more of a complaint because he has to cut it twice). It is easy to apply and could not be happier with the results.

Did not help. Maybe made lawn worse

New homeowner- had green grass but full of weeds. Measured sf of lawn and applied with broadcast spreader - used correct amount of product, adhering to product label directions. Early may applied weed and feed and it did not kill 95% of weeds. My lawn also went from an all-over medium green to a lighter green with lots of tan areas. Its now early june and my lawn more or less is worse than ive ever seen it. I have been using my sprinklers to put down at least 1 in of water a week (30 min 2x per week), so i dont think underwatering is the issue. Yesterday I applied scotts turfbuilder summergaurd fertilizer (i am following direction/ recommendations i get from the scotts app). So lets see if this helps.. my lawn is also not growing very fast (mowed yesterday after not mowing for 6 days and there was very little clippings) so thats a clear sign its not healthy/ needs nutrients, right? Honestly I was expecting more from the weed and feed. I still have dandelions popping up, and tons of clover too.some of the plantain (i think thats what it is) died after a week. More is still very slowly dying- but there's tons of it all over that didnt die. Like I said, I expected better results.

reply from Consumer Service

K Mark Lentz, we are sorry to hear of your experience with our Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed. This product works best when temperatures are between 65-85 degrees, as weeds will go dormant when temperatures rise above or go below that. Therefore they can not absorb the product. We are committed to making this right for you. Please contact us at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca and refer to this review so we can further assist you

My 3rd year

Consistancy is working lawn is getting fuller no sight of weeds. The first year was the hardest did not see instant results, sounds like what some are looking for. The product needs time to work and you need to follow the directions. . Now I use it for maintenance using all of the scotts products for every season.

Burned weed and grass

I used Scott’s weed and feed on my lawn as directed. Applied the next morning after a heavy rain storm, using my Scott’s spreader. OMG, this stuff not only burned the weeds but also burned my grass. See the photo, it left patches of brown spots where grass used to grow. I am not happy at all that it took out my grass!

Stops the weeds and keeps them from coming back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product did an outstanding job in eradicating the existing weeds in my yard, but also has limited and reduced the emergence of any additional weeds while the surrounding area has several species of weeds growing. I recommend this product.

It works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product. I used it as directed. A couple of days after application, the broadleaf weeds started to wither and turn yellow. The grass is growing faster also. I will use it again in the future!
