Waste of money, killed the grass, weeds growing

Applied this 2 weeks ago, followed all the directions with watering etc. Grass now dead and weeds growing just fine. Complete waste of money and time. DON'T BOTHER BUYING!

If it didn't work for you, you are the problem!

Applied 03/31/23 (in Massachusetts) picture shows before and after (14 days later). The small grayish areas on the after pic are areas that were re-seeded a few days ago.

Hello. We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I) and appreciate your feedback. To get the best results when making an application of Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I), we recommend allowing 2-4 weeks for a complete control of the weeds as well as applying when the weeds are actively growing, which typically occurs when temperatures are consistently between 60-80 degrees. We also suggest wetting your lawn prior to applying the product, if the lawn was not wet, the granules would not stick to the broadleaf weeds and not be controlled. Also, the product must remain on the weed leaves for 24 hours, however, after the first 24 hours, the product must be watered in. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Didn't work on Dandelions

I put down the triple blend in late March this spring and it did help green up my lawn. Also it lessened the amount of clover. However the amount of dandelions I have in my yard are the same as last year or if not more.

Disappointed

I've always used the 4 step program with success. This year I decided to try the triple action as last fall a little bit of crabgrass took hold. A week and a half has passed and my yard is covered in massive dandelions.

Very disappointing.

Treated my entire lawn, following directions exactly and wound up with no effect on clover. Cannot figure out what's different about my lawn from others where product worked. A lot of time, energy and money wasted.

So far so good . .

I applied the product on Friday, May 5th and most of the many of the weeds are beginning to wilt and lean over like the average citizen found on Kensington Ave in Philadelphia, PA.

Many Brown Lawn Patches

I've been using Scotts triple action turf builder for a few years now, and up until this year it has always worked well. However this year the product has produced many, many brown patches in my lawn. I am getting ready to apply the Scotts insect control for the June bugs and I'm having reservations about using any Scotts product.
