Very disappointed with this fertilizer

I bought this type of lawn food for the first time this year around summer time to compliment the anual feed for lawn, did everithing as instructed, had regularly watering it along with few rains drops for the last couple months and for an unknown reason my lawn has getting worst and worst with the time, the burning of my lawn does not stop, I do not know how to stop it as it will end up killing all my grass. I have had a beautiful lawn for the past 15 years, and had always feed it with Scoot's Bonus S (southern weed and feed) with excellent results all year long for all 15 years, our lawn was allways green. Now the majority of our lawn is brown it been dying ( burned ) since I had appied the Scott's green max. Please help how can I recover my lawn?. Your advise will be greatlyappreciated. Thanks.

Disappointing

I have always used and loved Scotts products but this one was disappointing. I made sure the Ph balance was within the range specified on this site, I aerated the lawn, I cut it so the grass wasn't too long and since we've had a ton of rain the soil was wet but not too soaked. I also watered the lawn so it got adequate water. However the lawn didn't get any greener in the week after applying Max Green. I'll continue to use Scotts product but not this one. I submitted my receipt and bar codes for a refund.

As advertised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Deep rich green, thick grass. The best our lawn in the woods as looked. The deer are constantly grazing here. Worth the price. I'm mowing twice as often @ 3" height but it's worth it. Depend on Scott's for results.

People stop to comment on my lawn ! Max Works

Pedestrians and drivers will stop in front of my house and comment on how great my lawn looks. I live in Colorado and always had problems with keeping just an average lawn, then I started doing some things different. When I retired, I fired my lawn mowers who cut the grass down to putting green height.... it looked awful.. I raised my mower blade to give the grass a chance. I stopped using herbicide components to control dandelions and started digging them manually.... in about two years I had very few dandelions. I apply Scotts Max Lawn Food several times a year especially in early March and late April and in the fall. I do not have a manicured lawn by any stretch of the imagination, but the grass itself looks fantastic. I highly recommend Scotts Max Lawn food.

Amazing results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this in a notoriously hard spot in our back yard. This problem spot has been there since we bought the property. In 1 week this has turned our worst growing area to a lush green jungle! This product is amazing

Burned parts of my lawn

Been using Scotts products for over 10years with success. (Spring Weed and Feed, Fall Weed and Feed). However, this is my first time using Green Max lawn food. Using the recommended settings, it burned certain areas of my lawn. I now have to purchase soil and grass seed for the bare spots. In terms of greening, it barely changed the color of the grass. Will not be buying this product again.

Very Green Results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is great to see that my lawn is much greener than my neighbors. She spends lots of money for a lawn service and my DIY lawn service is far greener and more weed-free than hers. It also helped the grass to expand and grow over some rabbit and squirrel digging areas that created bare spots in the past.

So Green!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming out of winter dormancy, it was amazing how quickly this product helped my lawn green up. I'm hoping it'll continue to feed for the next couple of months. This product let me put down my first fertilizer and an iron treatment all in one. As always, Scotts products are incredibly easy to spread and getting an even dispersion was a piece of cake. The picture is the difference between my lawn and my neighbors lawn. Mine greened up much quicker!

Best Lawn Food For a Green Lawn

I've used many different brands and types of fertilizer and Scott's Green Max beats them all. The soil in my yard is deficient and my grass was starving for nutrients. Once I started using Scott's Green Max, my lawn turned a beautiful, dark green in a short period of time! I've tried other brands of "green up" fertilizers and they provided some benefit. However, one was very slow acting while other high-iron brands did not green up as much as Scott's Green Max. Also, other brands will stain your driveway and sidewalks if you don't clean up the excess. Don't waste your time with the others when you can have the best: Scott's Green Max!

Works quickly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My yard was trashed after two hurricanes and an ice storm. Also, the yard was full of weeds. I applied the Green Max Lawn Food and my grass took off and most of the weeds were choked out by my St. Augustine grass. And it seems like a little goes a long way.
