Scotts, we have a problem!

First time, after 2 years of Scotts' products, that I am totally disappointed. Used this product on wet yard and now have even more dandelions than before spreading. I have no idea what I am supposed to do now, at the start of the yard maintenance season.

Turf Builder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've using this product for more than 15 years since I became a home owner in the Chicago area where weeds can become King. If one doesn't get on top of this problem every spring you're in for a long summer with very bad looking lawn!

Scotts Weed & Feed gets it done

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed₅ 4M worked very well for me. Directions were clear and easy to follow. Turf greened up quickly and many broadleaf weeds ended up dying. I don't think that any product combined with a turf fertilizer is going to have a 100% success rate at killing weeds, but this one did as well or better than any other I have tried.

Heed the warnings!

I bought this after reading both good and negative reviews. The negative reviews all report that this product can burn the grass even after following all directions perfectly. Nevertheless, I've had good results from Scotts products and decided to go ahead, but with caution. I also followed the directions to a "T". After 3 days of rain storms this week, I got out about 7 am on Friday morning and broadcast this onto my lawn at the rate of 3.5 as instructed. I could tell that the pellets were sticking to the still wet grass as they were supposed to do. Then, 6 hours later - approx. 3 pm the same day - I took a good look at my grass and saw that some of it was burning. It was worse where my broadcast lines overlapped a little. I could clearly see the white pellets still sitting on the GRASS. I then knew that I had made a mistake in using this product and should have heeded the warnings of so many others who had their grass burned. To try and stop the burning, I grabbed the hose and watered it in by hand. I made sure that I had the hose nozzle on high enough to push the granules down into the ground. I have now watered my lawn by hand for 3 consecutive days. I can clearly see where it's burned and it may be ruined - time will tell. I would NOT recommend this product. Even if you disregard the recommended rate of broadcast and lower it by half, you may still have problems. It's not worth it. Scotts really needs to correct this formula.

First Choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you only use one lawn product, this is the basic first choice. Reliably kills most common lawn weeds and gives a real boost to the desirable grasses. Use in the Spring, and you will quickly notice the change in grass color, thickness, and growth rate.

Well...that's just about disappointing.

My first home. My first time having a lawn with a clean slate. The lawn was put in around winter/spring, so there was at least 6 months until I fertilized it. Used this fertilizer one time on my Common Bermuda. The lawn is burned and I mean burned. Followed directions to the hilt. Waited until less than 90 degrees outside and no water for 24 hours after application. Too bad I didn't consult the Extension Service which says "Ammonium sulfate, urea, and other water-soluble nitrogen fertilizers are often used on bermudagrass lawns; however, these “fast-release” nitrogen fertilizers will burn turfgrasses if they are applied." Looked on the bag, and guess what - the Scotts is Ammonium Sulfate, urea, and other-water soluble fertilizers, yet it's supposed to be ok for Bermuda. What a disappointment. I've heard others say that they had a "Scotts Lawn." Gee. I wish I could have had one, as hard as I've worked on it. Now I'm going to have to find another company's care program to apply to my lawn.

Works Very Quickly and Speads Easily

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works Very Quick. I applied to an area that was loaded with dandelions, clover and creeping Charlie. After 4 days all weeds were showing signs of distress and beginning to die off. Hoping that this continues because clover and creeping Charlie are difficult to kill off. The product is designed to stick to the plants and was very efficient to apply with my rotary spreader.

BE VERY CAREFUL!

Make sure the temprature doesnt get close to 90 degrees at any time of the following days, or it will dusroy your grass. The one thing it doesnt discuss how white car, white planter boxes and light color pool cool decking, becomes a Solar Deathray when the sun is added to the mix.

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This does a great job at making my grass grow fast and strong and keeping the weeds at bay. I notice way less weeds on my lawn than my neighbors, it's very evident right at the borders of the property. Easy and quick to apply with my scotts spreader.

Seems to be working.

My yard was very neglected by previous owners. So it was about 75% weeds. I put this on in the fall and at the end if march this year when everything was sprouting. Theres still weeds but probably not designed to kill them. Dandelion and clover are 97% gone and grass looks much thicker. Also my yard is mostly shade. So the grass was very thin. This is definitely working. Will most likely take another year or two before its done. but it will come around i can tell a big difference already.
