This product works fantastic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] spotty lawns and lawns that just need that extra little bit of tender loving lawn care. This product does the job. Used it on one of the toughest lawns I've ever had and had fantastic results. Would recommend this product to everyone.
Garbage product
Used it in my lawn. It did kill some of my dandelions but missed most. Also didnt kill any other weeds. The dandelions it did kill turned into puffs which are just going to reseed on my lawn. And my lawn doesnt look any better. Waste of money. Do not buy this product.

For best results, product should be left undisturbed and not watered for 24 hours after application. When temperatures are high (over 90°+), weeds slow their growth down and cannot absorb the product. If weeds are not getting regular watering, they cannot absorb the product.

Proof is easy to see
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works as expected. Killed the weeds i needed pretty fast and uses fertilizer as well. Lawn grew back lusher this time after my application. I even used on my neighbors lawn and can tell the difference compared to the other home owners. I would definitely recommend.
Good when it isn't damp in a closed bag
I have used this for years with great success. Unfortunately the bag of Weed and Feed I bought was damp inside and did not want to spread. I still have not finished trying to spread it. I would rate it a 5 based on my previous experiences, but today I would say a zero

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!!!
Didn't kill weeds; at all.
I really wanted to like this product. So much so, that I tried it two years in a row thinking I did something wrong last year. This last time, I did it early in the morning and even misted the grass by hand with a sprayer to make sure the leaves were damp for contact adhesion. I also increased the dosage 20% above the recommendation, and still, it killed not a single weed. I'm VERY disappointed in this product after 2 years and 16 bags of it. It might have fertilizer in it though, because the weeds never looked greener!
We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 3 and appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />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. The weeds will die within a 2 to 4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 90 degrees. Apply to wet weeds so that it will stick. The product should be left undisturbed and not watered for 24 hours after application.<br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products.

Doesn’t really work on clover
We have an issue with clover in our yard, so I bought this Scott’s Weed & Feed product to apply. I waited for a good solid rain with multiple days after 60-80 degrees of pure sunshine after. I applied as directed, grass was damp, used the Scott’s elite spreader (great spreader btw) with a setting of 3.5 as directed, slightly overlapping passes, particles clung to the clover leaves (and dandelions) as you want/expect... then waited for the magic to happen. Well, what actually happened is about 1% of the clover and other random weeds were killed and the rest just flourished as if nothing was applied, actually some areas look worse/larger than prior to applying. Moral of this story, save your money. If you have ~2 acres to apply, it’s a waisted investment. Unfortunate because I have had great luck with the rest of Scott’s products (I am a 4 step user). I’ll be pursuing this *guarantee they boast about
We apologize for this experience with our Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed. The weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after using this product as the active ingredient causes the weeds to grow themselves to death. The weeds will die within a 2 to 4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. We are committed to making this right for you.

questionable results
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i have been using scotts on my lawn in the northeast for the past 6 plus years, on schedule like clock work 4 times a year. since last year i have been noticing the weeds are not being knocked back by the applications dispite following application instructions to the T. just applied this on saturday (4 days ago) there was one dandelion in am monitoring that has shown zero sign of wilt. i have every year resorted to using spray applications to control my weeds. starting to question my choice of weed control with these scotts products
We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 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.

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.

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!
