Keeping fingers crossed

I am applying this product for the second time this season. Last time was 2 months ago. My last application was two days ago. I have not seen any difference in the amount of weeds I see. How long does it take to be effective? A photograph is attached. The white dots on the leaves are the weed and feed. How long do I wait? Do I need to water? Very anxious.

Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scott's Turf Builder Weed and Feed works great to kill weeds in your lawn and gives nutrients to make your lawn grow and become greener. It also spreads easier as the granular are smaller and disperse better than other brand fertilizer. I have been using this along with other Scott's product for over 20 years and they greatly improve my lawn. I constantly receive compliments on my lawn which I feel is made possible by me using this and other Scott's products.

Didn't Help with Clover

Applied product twice this year, early spring and again in late spring/ early summer. Used a push spreader at the recommended setting, no rain fall post application. First application did a solid job at killing the dandelions, however its been more than a month since my second application and the clover is still growing strong in my yard. Three stars as it only helped with half of my weed problem.

Clover spread after applying

I followed the directions by having the lawn damp when I applied (6 bags...I have a large lawn) to my surprise and disappointment the clover was NOT gone or even slightly killed, it GREW! It is VERY disappointing to spend hundreds of dollars on this product and not have it work!

We are sorry that the Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 did not control the clover as expected. We hope this hasn't caused you to lose complete faith in our products. Occasionally, even when products are used correctly, weeds fail to die and we simply can't identify why. We do hope you'll try using one of our weed controls again, and we would like to offer some tips that may help you in your future weed control efforts.When using any weed control, be sure to apply the product when your daytime high temperatures are consistently between 60 to 90° F. For best results the temperatures should be between 65 and 85. Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 should be applied to a wet lawn and allowed to stay on the foliage undisturbed for at least 24 hours without rain or water. Since this product is initially absorbed through the weed's foliage, we recommend that the weeds not be mowed for two days both before and after the product application. This product will only kill weeds that are actively growing at the time of application, and cannot prevent new weeds from germinating. 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.

Miracle Worker!

I used Scott’s Weed and Feed on May 2 after it had been raining for a few days. Decided to take a picture so I could watch the progression of it working in my lawn. As you can see the lawn was mostly weeds. At first I didn’t think it was working too well because after a week the weeds still dominated my lawn. Now it is almost a month later and my lawn is looking a lot nicer with more grass than weeds. There are a few spots in the lawn where I think the Weed and Feed did not stick to the leaves very well so I will probably apply a second time once the 30 day wait is over, but I am definitely happy with the product and it was a much cheaper alternative than hiring a fertilizer company. I am going to apply it to my back yard (which is in even worse condition than the front) later this week since I just mowed and I will update my review based on the results I see back there.

Not worth your money

Have always been pretty satisfied with Scott’s products until the last two years. I have been using weed and feed hoping it will kill the dandelions in my yard... applied last week and temperatures have been 70-80! Absolutely worthless! Might have killed 1/4 of them but for the money you pay for the square footage and the job it does... buy something else!! Never thought I would be going away from Scott’s product but I won’t be buying this again.

Have the best lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Turf Builder Weed and Feed for years. Our lawn not only is weed free but it is thick and green. I have tried other brands and have always come back to Scotts because of its reliability and performance.

Doesnt seem to work as good as it use to

I have been using this product the last 5 years following the instructions. I live in central california and trouble with clove and crabgrass. The first year I used this product I was happy with the results but the last 2 years I have used this product It doenst seem to work very well. I used in April and still have crabgrass and clove. It did feed the grass making in green but doesnt seem to work as well against weeds like it use to.

We're sorry to hear you didn't get the results you expected after using Scotts turf Builder Weed & Feed and appreciate your feedback. This product will only control listed broadleaf weeds and will not control grassy weeds like crabgrass. For best results, temperatures should be consistently between 60-90 degrees.

Turf Builder Weed & Feed is an outstanding product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Weed & Feed virtually all year to kill a variety of weeds which appear in my lawn. In addition to applying it in the early summer, I use it as a "spot" weed killer during the Spring, Summer Fall seasons. The simple instructions are very easy to follow. Within a day or two after applying Weed & Feed, it's effects on the weeds are visible. In approximately 1 week the weeds are gone. I recommend Weed & Feed to all of my neighbors and friends.
