Decent, but could be better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent first application. A bit unreliable as you have to be certain the lawn is wet and the application sticks to the weeds otherwise the weeds will laugh at this weed killer. Typical Scotts fertilizer, works decent, but I feel like it doesn't do as well as building the roots like it has used to.

Great experience!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic product! Really helped out r grass fill in where the dog had dug it up. Good at keeping the weeds down as well. You can use over the whole yard or in a specific area depending on the needs of your yard!

Weed and feed? More like weed feed!

Applied this product to our lawn which was overrun with dandelions. Made sure to follow directions exactly. No cutting grass before or after, no rain a few days after, made sure the temperature was high enough, lightly watered the yard before applying. Not a single weed was killed! We had more weeds after 1 week than when we applied. After 3 weeks went and got Spectacide which we attached to the house and sprayed the lawn. I'd say about 75% of our weeds are gone now. I can't recommend scotts weed and feed. Useless and EXPENSIVE.

Decent but needs help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is average. It's nothing fancy but it isn't junk either. The physical material itself is nice and small so its gets into all the little cracks and crevices while also allowing itself to be light enough to bind to the weeds. The fert part works well. The weed part is so-so. Generalized weed killers/weed control options are something I have never had great luck with. They take too long to act and never seem to be strong enough to take care of everything. So I still end up walking my yard and pulling the weeds manually. If there was a version that was more potent and did a better job at general weed control, I would be all over it but for now, I may just stick with regular fertilizer and my weeding tool.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed5 and appreciate your feedback. Please note, 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 this excessive growth. Weeds will die within a 2 to 4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. 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.

Am seeing results in 1 day/on a never before treated lawn

I am dealing with 2 acres of grass that is weed infested. This lawn was never before treated or cared for other than mowing. Previous owner had attitude of if it's green it's good. Followed directions of apply to wet lawn (rain showers) with the spreader set on 4.5 for heavier application. In less than 24 hours I am seeing results, weed leaves are curling in and are going brown. Other leaves are getting spots and are wilting. Good stuff if you ask me. New grass is not being harmed, it is 1 month old and growing quickly.

Big Rock Hard Chunks Of Product In Bag

Scotts Turf Builder Weed %26 Feed 3 has been my go to weed killer and fertilizer for years with excellent results and no problems. However, the Weed and Feed I put on my backyard lawn today was full of rock hard chunks of product. I was able to put the big chunks back in the empty bag and step on them to crush them, however there were lots of small chunks that kept getting clogged in the spreader opening. This kept the spreader from being able to spread the fine spray of Weed and Feed on the lawn. I had to keep stopping to get the small chunks out of the opening. I don't know if this was a problem with the product itself or with the Walmart storage of the product. This is the first time I have bought Weed and Feed from Walmart, so it might be a problem with the storage at Walmart instead of the Weed and Feed itself.

Amazing Results

We had a wet spring in the Chicago area. It led to a more dandelions than normal. I live next to a park field loaded with weeds and they attack my lawn. I had been using a different brand in the past and the results have not been very successful. After one application the dandelions are completely gone from my yard. My lawn is greener than it has been in years. I am extremely happy with Scott's. You have a happy customer here. Thanks!

Hard as a Rock!

You must have left these bags of lawn fertilizer out in the rain. Opened bag and product was so hard I had to use a chisel and hammer to chip it away, then press down with weight to get it granular. Great fertilizer, and have used it for years but...shame on you, Walmart for leaving it out in the rain at your store!! Squeeze the bag before purchasing, buyers beware!

Deep green yard!

Worked like a charm to feed and weed my yard in Alabama. My lawn improved a hundred percent with just a light application and I will do another next spring. This product is well worth the money! The grass looks a deeper green, weeds are a lot sparser and overall I am satisfied and happy with my results!!!

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.
