Mostly Good, Couple Concerns or Questions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a new product I tried for the 1st time. The particles are very fine, almost like dust. Notice build up on my spreader due to must have wet grass when applied. Because this has been a VERY WET spring in Michigan, I had to wait to catch a time where I could apply to wet grass but not have it washed off by rain within 24 hrs. Finally applied just over a week ago and thus far pretty pleased. It hasn't killed my crab grass but was very good on dandelions. Not sure if it is worth the extra cost over Turf Bld Weed & Feed which is also good on dandelions. Another concern is that Triple Action fertilizer is only 16/0/1 while cheaper Weed & Feed is 28/0/3 N/P/K. Extra cost must be in the 'Kills' & 'Feeds' since N/P/K is so much less in fertilizer. I will need to see if this feeds my lawn for 6 to 8 weeks for final eval. Now I still need to go spray my crab grass since this didn't kill it.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As usual I am very pleased with Scotts Turf Builder Lawn products. This fertilizer worked as advertised (OK weeds don't grow as much this time of year). But I can see the quick green and healthy growth in my front yard.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always go to Scott's products and this is no different. I've never had a bad experience with their soils. Any time I need to lay new grass seed down I always put some of their new soil down and the grass always grows in thick and green. I am the envy of my block.

Don't Buy this product

This is the first and LAST year that I am using Scotts Triple Action. The grass did green up decently, but the dandelions and clover are heathier than ever! Not one sign of them being killed. Based on this, I have ZERO hope for the crabgrass preventor

quick action

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the triple action a month ago and put it down two weeks ago and can see the weeds dying down and am impressed with this result. Also the grass is greening up quickly but we have had a lot of rain which is messing up what should be normal growing grass. The grass is growing fast and I am being kept from mowing because the dirt is like toothpast.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this late and haven't really had a chance to do a lot with it but what we have done it is working great. It really seems to do a great job. We will try it more as time goes by and we are sure it will work amazingly.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this in October so not really enough time to give a complete review. It is easy to use even if you don't have a spreader. The bag isn't to heavy. I have confidence that this will work as good as other products I have used from this company.

Didn't work for me

I have always used Scotts weed and feed in the yellow bag, and have always had good results with it. It easily and quickly has killed my clover and dandelion in previous years. This year I wanted to get the crabgrass taken care of. I bought two of the big bags of triple action, followed the instructions, but did not get good results. Dandelion is still very much alive, as is the clover and crabgrass. With that being said, the GRASS LOOKS MUCH BETTER, but the weeds never died. I will not use this again, and will go back to weed and feed, and overseed and work on crowding out the crabgrass, or pull it.

We are sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will only kill existing broadleaf weeds, it is not designed to prevent the growth of new broadleaf weeds. Also, this product will not kill grassy weeds but is only designed to prevent grassy weeds, such as crabgrass. Lastly, weeds may appear healthier for a few days after application but you should see weed death between 2-4 weeks. Despite this fact, we want you to be confident in our products and we stand by the promises made in our advertisements. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 888-270-3714, and reference this product review for assistance.

Not Impress with it

Based on the cost versus the results I was not impress with it, in fact I'm disappointed with the results considering the cost of the product. I have patches of clover that I was hoping it would clear it. It is now going on 3 weeks since I applied it to my lawn and the clover is still green as before.

Did not do it's job.

I read all the instructions and put down 5 bags of triple action. This product did nothing for my yard. I have more weeds now than I did when I put it down in April. It is now July 24th and I had to buy a different brands product to hopefully rid my yard of weeds. I attempted to add before and after photos but the files are too large.
