2 Lawns and 2 Fails

I purchased this Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed 3 for my lawn and for my mothers lawn which is in a nearby town (same soil and climate conditions). On both lawns, I applied the product EXACTLY as instructed and I even went out and got a Scott's spreader which I calibrated per instructions to insure the precise application amount. My yard is about 23,000 sq.ft. and my mom's about 18,000. It has now been 2 weeks, and I swear BOTH LAWNS have MORE DANDELIONS and CLOVER than they did to start. The violets or whatever the small purple flowered weed also seems to be proliferating. I think the weeds are asking for more, it was delicious! My lawn actually has more weeds than either neighbor on either side, neither of whom treated their lawns in any way. Since I can not reapply (instructions say only 2 times per year Spring and Fall) this is a COLOSSAL waist of pretty big money.

We're sorry to hear that you did not get the results that you expected. To get the best control, temperatures must consistently between 65-85 degrees. Cooler temperatures or temperatures that fluctuate lower will delay/prevent good control. It is also important to apply the product when weeds are actively growing as this product will not prevent new weeds from developing. 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.

No good results!!

I bought 2 bags of this stuff and I seriously feel like I wasted my money! I followed the package directions exactly! It’s been two weeks, weeds are still growing and very much alive. A few of them shriveled up but remained green in the center and continued to grow.

We apologize for the experience you have had with your Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed. While weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after an application of this product, the active ingredient causes the weeds grow themselves to death. It could take up to 4 weeks for a complete kill. You can contact us if you would like to continue discussing this or if you want to know about our product guarantee.

Works wonderfully in my yard!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this product for a few weeks now and my lawn is looking so much healthier and more green than it ever has!! I have notice a significant decrease in the amount or weeds throughout the yard. I love how easy it is to apply and how quickly it works to make my lawn look so healthy and green!

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

Clears clover INSTANLY

Living in TN, my soil is very poor. This year I've got a lot of white clover so I figured I'd give the Scotts Weed & Feed a try. I applied it just after noon time and we got rain the evening. I didn't have enough to cover my entire lawn, but the next day around noon, the clover in the areas I used the Weed & Feed lost it's bright white color and was turning gray. The following day, the flowers were brown, and on the third day, there was NO visible clover flowers! This stuff is fantastic! Bob

Plus 2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The weeds start disappearing in about a week leaving a deep green beautiful lawn. Very easy to apply with the Scotts easy green spreader. Perfect fertilizer all the way till fall. Will use the summer fertilizer if we don’t dry up too much.

Wet clumpy fertilizer in the bag

I have used this product before and it has worked very well for me. The bag I opened today had wet, clumpy fertilizer inside. There's no way it will spread with my Scott's rotary spreader. Going to leave it sit in the hopper for a few days and see if it dries out.

The best way to help your lawn recover from dandelions & weed wafting over from your neighbor's lawn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you take care of your lawn, but your neighbor doesn't, you can end up with dandelion and other weed seeds drifting over onto your lawn. This Scott weed & feed is the best way to recover your lawn and get it looking green and weed free again without having to dig them out or spot spray them all day. At our last house and neighborhood, my neighbors on both sides of me and I used the Scott's 4-step program and we had lawns that looked great and you couldn't tell where one lawn started and ended. That's why I'll always be a Scott's user.

Poor results, weeds=1 Scotts=0

Applied exactly as instructions specified, even used a scotts spreader. Its 7 days later and my wife just chuckles because the lawn looks exactly as it did before we applied. I actually think we may have even more weeds than we did before. I really wanted it to work as its easy to apply but not happy about performance.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 3 and appreciate your feedback. For best results, weeds should be wet with dew or light watering when applied and then not again for 24 hours to help product stick to the weed leaves so that it can be absorbed. Weeds should be actively growing, and temperatures should be consistently between 60℉ and 90℉. Depending on temperature conditions, weeds can take 2-4 weeks to completely die. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

Quick results, very easy to use, Will buy again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions were very clear and simple which was helpful. I noticed an immediate result after applying. (One to two days) The weeds were already willted and yellow. After one week my grass looks much thicker and greener. I will absolutely use this product again.
