One Weed Loves The Product

I have used the Scotts Weed and Feed product as well the spray on. The dandelions are gone. The grass is green. However ther is one weed that appears to love the treatments. Only a few seen a few years ago. Now they seem to grow ecponentionaly. I see the same weed on a review from Mrs. A four days ago. Enclosed is my photo of the weed. I just mowed and saw how bad the weed problem is. Purchased more Scotts Weed and feed and not sure I should apply. Any thoughts on the weed and a treatment?

We are sorry you were disappointed with the SCOTTS TURF BLDR WD&FD 5M. The product must stick to the weed leaves to be effective. It should be left undisturbed and not watered for 24 hours after application. Temperatures must be consistently between 60 and 90 degrees when applied. If temperatures are high weeds slow their growth and can not absorb the product. If weeds are not getting regular watering they can not absorb the product. 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. You should notice the weeds begin to curl and yellow a few days after the application due to excessive growth. Controlled weeds should die within 2 to 4 weeks depending on temperatures. We recommend taking a sample of the weed to a local nursery for identification to be sure this is a controlled weed. Please reach out to our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714 for further assistance.

This product was awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would recommend this product to anyone. My house when we bought it last year had a lawn that I would say was a subpar lawn it had weeds ever where and just want a yard you could be proud of. After using this product a couple times my yard became clear and greener then ever. I won't use anything else but Scott's product to protect and take care of my lawn.

Does not kill clover as stated on front of the bag

Applied the weed and feed turf builder at 8am so there was dew on the grass and the granules adhered to the clover leaves. Two weeks later the cover is taller and growing faster than the grass. It does work on dandelions but not much else. For the last 3 years of using Scott's Turf Builder I also needed to use Weed B Gone to get rid of clover and English daisies. Scott's Weed and feed turf builder is false advertising.

Excellent Weed & Feed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product multiple times when I've had a clover problem in my yard. The product works very well, and you can see results in as little as 5 to 7 days. The application instructions on the back of the bag need to be adhered to in order to get the best results and not damage your lawn. It is especially important not to apply this product during drought conditions or long periods of no rain.

Quick Working

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Put this fertilizer down after a little drizzle so it would stick to the weeds. Did a great job cutting back the weeds in the areas that had them and did a great job greening up the lawn. East to spread not clumpy or too course.

Thousands of Homes

I build homes for a large volume home builder in the West. Over the last twenty years I have personally handled thousands (no fib) of homes from dirt to completion. I use Scotts product on my personal property nearly exclusively. I share this with the bulk of my interested homeowners and neighbors. I see there are reviews of these fertilizers where people have not achieved their desired results. I too have had failures in my own yard that I wanted to ascribe to the products I have applied, only to find out that it was my application method that was the culprit. Fertilizers are not a miracle cure for otherwise poor yard management practices. Care, time, recognition, consistency. I know that when I apply a Scotts product, per the directions on the bag, three days later I can see it's working and a week later it has done exactly what I thought it would. This "weed and feed" has been no exception.

Solid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well in well worked soft soil w fertilizer. Not weed free formula and struggles under tree shade. Easily grew grass from seed with full sunlight. Spring fertilization left the grass streaked but grass itself filled streaks within a few mows. Nice texture and makes for nice mow lines :)

Turned my lawn yellow

We had a green lawn, but had some weeds. Used the product and this is what happened. I was looking on the website to locate a place to contact Scott’s and it wasn’t easily located, so I’m giving a review in hopes they’ll contact me to talk about it. This same thing happened to the lawn at my work, only worse, around the same time.

Not so Dandy lions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow I applied the Turf Builder just a few days ago and what few dandelions i had are already curled up. Haven't seen much change in the clover yet but I'm sure it's coming. This is an incredible product the I highly recommend.

Great lawn repair results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Three years ago, our lawn was infested with dandelions and a cast of other assorted weeds. There were also loads of bare spots throughout, no doubt a result of weed-feeding grub activity. After an e-mail response from Scotts, relevant to my problem, I followed their advice and purchased the suggested repair products. Directions were clear and simple for all of their products. Using a tow-behind spreader, I applied Scotts Turf Builder 3, followed by their Contractor's Mix grass seed. The app was in the Spring of the first year. That summer, I immediately noticed reduced weed growth, especially dandelions, and bare spots became almost obsolete. The grass was much fuller and greener, throughout the entire yard. In the Fall of that year, I repeated the turf builder app only. The following Spring, I started with an app of the turf builder. A few weeks later, I applied a sparsely-scattered addition of Scotts grass seed. By the second summer, weeds no longer dominated our yard. A few expected dandelions remained, but were almost extinct, and all bare spots disappeared. I have since continued applying the Turf Builder 3, without any grass seed, in the Spring and Fall of each year, and will repeat the schedule every year. In summary, during the second year our lawn was much thicker, healthier, weeds were very minimal -- and the grubs were no longer a problem. It took awhile, but thanks to Scotts quality products, along with their prompt e-mail responses to lawn my problems, we now have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood!
