I am a first time homeowner and have lived in my new home for a year. My lawn has had yellow patches of grass slowly spreading since end of last summer. I applied a fertilizer in early April this year, but it only made the green spots greener and the yellow spots appeared more yellow. I applied this product a week ago, and after some rain the yellow spots have improved significantly, and the lawn as a whole appears thicker and healthier. I read several articles online on how to apply fertilizer correctly and evenly. In the applying the product I set my $20 scott drop spreader's right guard to ON, and the spread rate to half the recommended setting. I went over the perimeter in counter clockwise direction twice, which prevented the granules from falling onto the side-walks. Then I made my laps once vertically and then once more horizontally, stopping as soon as I reach the perimeter. My only staining problem was the corner of the narrow strip of lawn between the sidewalk and street, where it meets my driveway, as the area was too small to make counter clockwise laps with the spreader. Of course, I could have spread that area by hand now that I think about it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm impressed how fast this stuff works. Like the packaging states, 3 Days. That's the truth! Such a great product. Will purchase more! Can't beat the quality and value you get from this product. Very easy to use and apply!

I continued to apply this product in a mist, the type of moisture insufficient to call rain. The product stained my concrete driveway, sidewalks and street orange. It gummed up my drop spreader to the point where I needed to take every component apart to clean it. To add insult to injury, it did nothing for my grass.

Having used several different fertilizers for the last couple of years, I found Scotts Green Max Fertilizer the best. My grass is truly green; in fact it looks better than my neighbor's grass--this neighbor uses a lawn service. With the fantastic results I see, I highly recommend this product. As a retired teacher I always rated students fairly--and I have followed suit with this fertilizer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just applied this to my front yard. It was easy to spread. Since the forecast called for rain today I did not water it yesterday. Plan on using the rest to spread on the backyard this weekend. Thank you, Scotts, for making the best lawn care products!

I've used fertilizers for years w/o a problem. Picked this one up on a whim. I couldn't figure out why my cement was orange. It never occurred to me it was the fertilizer. Then I used it again and it turned slightly orange to completely orange. That's when I figured out this product damaged my cement. I've used goof off to get some of it off, but can't get it completely out. Also used something that damaged my cement. Would love to get a refund, can't believe this product is on retail shelves. Stay away!!
