This Product Worked Great!

This product is great!!! I cannot believe the negative reviews. It works excellently well for me!!!! I apply in warm weather to wet grass / wet weeds whether it had just rained or I had just walked around my lawn and sprayed my lawn with a garden hose before applying Scotts Weed & Feed - yes, sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do if you want t weed-free lawn - anyway, it worked very well. After a week or two, all traces of any weeds are gone. Product would last approx. 6 weeks but I found that I would re-apply after 5 weeks in order to stay on top of the new weeds that emerge. I tend not to water in, and that works well for me. However, Scotts says to water in after at least 24 hours.

I Always Trust my Lawn to Scotts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The name says it all. You have weeds? You want to feed your lawn some food? You want to be the envy of your neighbors? Use this. Less than 24 hours after applying, the dandelions were drying up and 2 days later the lawn is beautiful. Highly recommended.

Use this every year

I apply Weed and Feed twice a year following the package instructions precisely. Apparently you need to apply it to wet grass, ie the foliage, for it to work properly. And it needs to stay there for awhile to work. (So apply before a bit of a dry spell.) If I get this on in time the lawn looks great and is low maintenance. If I mess up, I pay for it for the rest of that six month period. BONUS: apply just before your lawn is aerated. Even better.

Very Disappointed With the Results

I bought and applied the Scotts Weed and Feed (15000 sq ft) about a month back . I applied it based on the instructions listed on the package. I have been very disappointed with the results. I have weeds all over my lawn. How can I remove and recover from the weeds without killing the grass ? I am attaching 4 pictures and can provide more. Thanks

I really wish it worked better

I use Scotts on occasion, only because it is widely available. However, I'm not really impressed with most of their products. I put the Turf Builder down this spring because their crabgrass preventer has never worked for me. The weed and feed has done a better job, especially with the feed. The weed part is somewhat lacking, and I don't have a lot of weeds in my yard. For the price, this product should work better than it does. In the 90's, I used to put Miracle Grow weed and feed granules on my lawn and it never looked better. I had complete strangers stopping by wanting to know what I was using on my lawn. Unfortunately, they discontinued the granules and went to liquid only, which IMO doesn't work, so I'm always looking for other brands to improve my lawn.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed5 and appreciate your feedback.Were weeds actively growing at time of application? Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 90 degrees. Weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after an application of a weed control. The active ingredients trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes weeds listed on the label to die.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.

Bright, Bold Packaging; Underwhelming Performance

Long time Scott's Weed & Feed user. Can't recommend this particular product, as surprisingly, it didn't kill the weeds. Have always used their southern-specific lawns products prior, so this is first time to use in a diff climate setting (northern Kansas), but ensured it was correct for this region, read and followed all directions/requirements/indications, and used Scott's spreader dialed in to their drop rate specified for actively growing weeds management. Product simply didn't perform as a weed controller/killer, but greened everything, including the weeds. Noticed big difference in size/design of the product granules, which are much finer/lighter than prior product versions. This also reduces the coverage you can get from the bag as they don't travel as far from the spreader. Disappointed in lack of weed control. First time to use the Scott's product guarantee, after multiple decades using their lawn products.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 3 and appreciate your feedback. The active ingredients trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes the weeds listed on the label to die. You should notice the weeds begin to curl and yellow a few days after application due to this excessive growth. The weeds will die within a 2-to-4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. When applying, the lawn must be wet for the product to stick to the broadleaf weed leaves. The product must remain on the weed leaves for 24 hours. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 90 degrees. When temperatures are high (over 90°+), weeds slow their growth down and can not absorb the product. If weeds are not getting regular watering as well, they can not absorb the product. 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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Makes a big difference

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This really makes a difference in how my grass looks and how it grows. I like that it is a two and one and helps to inhibit the weeds while it helps my grass to thrive. It’s truly easy to use and I find starting in the spring really makes my lawn look great all summer long.

did not work

I bought this product last month and applied it according to directions, first it did not cover the area it was suppose to (used a Scotts edge guard spreader) and it did not kill one weed! wonder if they had bad batch. Been using Scotts for years without a problem .Landscaper said nothing is working this year.

Weed & Feed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried a few different weed and feed products over the years, but Scott’s Turf Builder Weed & Feed continues to be my go-to. I applied it in early spring, right after a stretch of rainy weather, and within a week I started to see the dandelions and clover in my lawn looking pretty sickly (in a good way). By week two, they were nearly gone, and my grass looked noticeably thicker and greener. Overall, this stuff does exactly what it promises: feeds your lawn and takes out most of the broadleaf weeds without breaking the bank. It’s like giving your grass a power-up and sending the weeds a pink slip. Would I buy it again? Absolutely. My lawn looks like I actually know what I’m doing.
