Killed the grass, not the weeds

I have used other Weed and Feed products without a problem, but applied this bag with a Scotts rotary spreader according to the directions. It did not eliminate any of the weeds, but instead killed streaks of good grass. I checked the spreader and it is working as it should. Not sure what the problem was with this bag, but now will have to reseed areas of the lawn.

THIS IS GOLD

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] THE WEED AND FEED THATS WORTH EVERY PENNY, EASY APPLICATION WITH A SCOTTS DROP SPREADER WITH LOW TO NO ODER, I NOTICED RESULTS IN LESS THAN A WEEK WITH NORMAL RAIN SHOWERS, SQUARE FOOT COVERAGE THAT IS MARKED ON BAG IS ACCURATE WHEN USEING RECOMENDED SETTINGS!

Useless

Save your money and give it to a professional lawn care service. If you have a stubborn dandelion or other major broadleaf weed situation, this is not going to cure your problem. It's mostly just the nitrogen that works and so it will feed existing weeds as well as the grass.

We are sorry that the Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 did not control the weeds as expected. 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.

Is this animal safe?

I've applied the weed and feed a couple of days ago and haven't noticed much, which is why I put the review at "average" for now. I am wondering when I can allow my pets to go back out on the lawn after application. I saw somewhere in the reviews that I need to wait at least two days to mow the lawn so am thinking maybe pets are around the same time period as the first 48 hours are the most effective. If anyone has any info on this it would be appreciated.

Healthy Lawn During Drought

I applied product in April and then had a very dry May and June in PA. Very minimal weeds and no clover. I don't know when the last time my yard had been treated since I purchased the house, but have been impressed by performance in harsh conditions. Will be applying when it cools down again, and next spring. Good results following my first application.

Weed Destroyer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Turf Weed & Feed is a high quality lawn seed that thickens your lawn and rids it of the evil weeds. Pet safe which is a bonus because you feel like you are not harming any animals. You need to apply when you actively have weeds invading your healthy grass. Spreads easily with a proper seed spreader. I am excited to see my lawn after a few applications.

Performance as advertised!

I usually have bad experiences with lawn care products. Expecting failure I saved my receipt because of the satisfaction warranty. I had a lot of dandelions and clover as well as many other unidentified weeds that were sadly creeping into my yard. I applied exactly as the direction described allowing the lawn to be wet prior to applying. I did not mow the lawn immediately before but rather applied it about three days after mowing. 2 mows later I have almost zero weeds. I applied a liquid concentrate mix using a tank sprayer to the small amount of weeds that remained and my yard is now almost weed free. Other notes. I applied in early June prior to extreme heat.

Works well, with some exceptions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product did an excellent job addressing the dandelions, other weeds, and greening up my yard after winter. The only issue I ran into was it did not manage to kill the thistle that is taking over part of my lawn. I will have to look for another product, or perhaps put down another application of the weed and feed. Time will tell.
