Use this every year

I apply Weed and Feed twice a year following the package instructions precisely. Apparently you need to apply it to wet grass, ie the foliage, for it to work properly. And it needs to stay there for awhile to work. (So apply before a bit of a dry spell.) If I get this on in time the lawn looks great and is low maintenance. If I mess up, I pay for it for the rest of that six month period. BONUS: apply just before your lawn is aerated. Even better.

Disappointed - It just didn't work.

I had used Scott products for years before hiring a professional lawn service. Not happy with their service, I decided to again do it myself. This year I have lots of clover. When I read the Turf Builder weed and feed bag, with 2x the effectiveness and guaranteed to kill dandelion and clover, I thought my problems were solved. It just didn't work. Some of the clover's leaf tips turned brown, but that's it. it turned green again. I was also disappointed with the greening effect. All directions were followed. I have an irrigation system so proper watering is done regularly.

We are sorry that the Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 did not control the clover 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. 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 are also sorry that you did not receive the fertilizer response that you expected. To get the most out of any fertilizer, we recommend that you maintain your lawn with adequate water and regular feedings. When mowing, remove no more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time. If repeated applications of fertilizer fail to green the lawn, we recommend that you purchase a soil test kit to check the soil pH. Soil pH should be between 5.5 - 7.5 for lawns. If it is outside this range, add lime (to raise pH) or soil sulfur (to lower pH) at least once a year in spring or fall. A pH imbalance will prevent the lawn from absorbing fertilizer, even if you apply heavily. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

Decent Product

I distributed this product on my Bahis lawn about a week and a half ago. I noticed weeds starting to die two days after application. The grass has some yellowing on the tips. I just recently have seen with watering and some rain. The grass is beginning to green up. It seems to have little effect on clover-type weeds. The fact the clover was not initially affected may call for a second application.

Gene54, we're sorry Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed didn't control the weeds as expected. It can take up to 4 weeks to completely control listed weeds. Make sure you keep applications at least 6-8 weeks apart. Reach out to us here if you need further assistance: https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca

Yeesh

Bought this product month and half ago spread it to mainly kill the dandelions, and yeesh they basically grew into ginormous dandelions and quadrupled over the span of the month. Im sorry but this is 100% a rip off. I now have to call Tru green and pay them to fix this mess. Thanks!

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 3 and appreciate your feedback. The active ingredients trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes the weeds listed on the label to die. You should notice the weeds begin to curl and yellow a few days after application due to this excessive growth. The weeds will die within a 2-to-4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. When applying, the lawn must be wet for the product to stick to the broadleaf weed leaves. The product must remain on the weed leaves for 24 hours. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 90 degrees. 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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rather than a review for each item let me say this: I have been using your products for many years and this summer I questioned that decision. Each year I use weed and feed (was plus2), halts, crabgrass,summer,winter and your best seeds. I was very disappointed this year because of excess clover, violets and other weeds. We spend a lot of time on the lawn and water properly so it is a mystery why the products don't meet expected standards. Chuck Ellis Yardley PA 19067

gets rid of the weeds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product last summer and was very pleased with the results. We had so many weeds from the previous year as it was very hot and dry. This past year the rains came and so did the weeds. Weed and feed nearly eliminated them with one application.

Clover is flourishing! Why?

Bought this 15,000 square foot bag because the front of the bag clearly states "clears out dandelions & clover - guaranteed". Tried calling but didn't want to wait 30 minutes. The clover is flourishing and sprouting lovely white flowers. Why? Weeds are slowly dying. What's my guarantee regarding the clover issue? Please advise.

No more pesky Weeds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This really helps to keep weeds and dandelions out of my grass. Ever since I started treating, my lawn has looked so much fuller and greener. I even have got compliments on my grass. It looks so much more healthier and now I dont have to worry about the pesky weeds.

Very good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As long as you follow the instructions as to how to apply, this weed and feed is really great controlling all kinds of weed in your lawn. One thing you need to understand is it’s not an overnight thing, it takes a few weeks for it to do the job so have faith it does work just takes time. Super easy to apply with a Scott’s spreader the only down part is it smells up your shop if you leave the bag open so put a zip time on the leftovers so it keeps the smell in the bag. Great stuff, I use it a lot and it always works great.

Follow directions exactly;result only dead grass

My grass has never looked better, we aerated over seeded and used Scotts Lawn Food in the Spring(great product) Then as the temperatures rose weds appeared. Used the Scotts Weed and Feed Turf Builder(follow directions; wet lawn before applying) Used a light application with lawn spreadr to be cautious. Result is BROWN dead grass and thriving weeds. DO NOT BUY This; it will destroy your lawn. Plan to stick with only the Scotts Lawn Food.
