Chickweed Doug
1 out of 5 stars review

Failed completely killing the chicweed

I bought the triple action fertilizer and followed the application to the tee. The fertilizer portion worked fine along with the crab grass prevention. Here I am 5 weeks after application and NONE of the chickweed has been killed. A 100 percent failure. Brought sample to local nursery and they confirmed it is chickweed. I then bought a liquid weed killer, applied it and it has killed the chickweed. I have receipts, bar codes for the 2 large bags. Would like a full refund. This product really let me down.

Doug, we're sorry to hear Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action didn't control the chickweed as expected. For best results, temperatures should be consistently between 60-90 degrees. Reach out to us here for assistance with our product guarantee: https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca

Beginning to see results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has just become possible with the weather conditions that I have been able to apply product. But have to report that already weeds are dying and the grass seems to be greening up nicely. Let the growing BEGIN!!

Disappointed

We used this product about a month ago, and followed all the instructions carefully. Over the last week we have crabgrass coming up which is one of the main reasons we used the product. Maybe our grass turned a little greener at first and a few weeds were taken care of (made no dent in taking care of ground ivy), but definitely the product did not deliver on preventing crabgrass for 4 months. We are first time home owners and inherited a pretty ugly lawn, so we were hoping that this would get us a good start into making the lawn better. Only minimal results.

Poor product. Yard of weeds

I bought this triple against my better judgement. Especially for the cost which in hind site it way way overpriced. Applied it exactly as required. Seemed to do the trick. Now this week I have 20 yo 30 dandelions in the middle of my front yard and the same in the back. Never had that with other products. Please save your money. I will never use again nor will I use it at any of my 7 office locations.

Did not come close to expectations!

I was excited when Scotts released the Triple Action Turf Builder. I always used the Halts and I was on the brink of eliminating crabgrass from my lawn. The results were as if I never used the product. I have more crabgrass this year than I ever had before. I am very disappointed in the results. Please improve or remove this product from your lineup. A loyal consumer that has decreased confidence in the Scotts brand.

We are sorry to hear that your Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Fertilizer did not prevent crabgrass as expected. This product must be applied before temperatures are in the 80's, as that is when crabgrass germinates. Your feedback is important to us, and we will pass this on to our Quality Assurance Team. We would be interested in discussing this further so that we can learn more about this issue and extend our product guarantee. At your earliest convenience, please call us and refer to your review to see what can be done. Our phone number is 877-220-3089.

It worked for me!

I used Triple Action this year, and it did pretty well for me here in Northern Indiana. The only problem was the 10,000 sqft bag didn't have quite enough for my lawn (I usually buy 15,000 sqft products) and you could really see the difference on the last strips I didn't get covered--the crabgrass and various weeds. So I just sprayed those areas when I was out spot spraying the rest of the lawn. By late summer my lawn looked as good as it has for some years.

Not up to Scott's standards.

Used two years in a row. My mistake. It's been 4 weeks, I have more dandelions than I've ever had. I followed the instructions to a T both times. Very frustrating. Wasted valuable time in my growing season working in reverse. I would not recommend this product.

Received too late or way too early

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am looking forward to using the Triple Action Turf Builder as I have both crabgrass, weeds and clover in my lawn and then writing a review on how well it performs on the weeds. However, I received the product in mid October at a time when the crabgrass has disappeared and many of the weeds are also gone or not actively growing. In addition it has been very rainy here. Since this is meant as a pre emergent crabgrass control as well as an active growing weed control I cannot apply it until at least March or April. Only then will I be able to determine how it controls both the crabgrass and weeds. Based on having used regular Turf Builder for years, I am sure the fertilizer part will work well. One suggestion I would have at this time is that you take a second look at the instructions. There are numerous indications of when NOT to apply but no readily visible indication of when TO apply the product. Normally on your products that is readily visible. Rate two stars for the fertilizer at this time.

Did not work

Sadly, this product seems worthless. Read and followed instructions exactly. Dandelions and other weeds are growing more than ever, and there is little evidence of greening. Very disappointed in Scotts. I expected more from this usually reliable company.

Scotts® Turf Builder® Triple Action

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the product a month ago, used it and worked good so far. As the grass grew this season, I noticed less visible weed and crabgrass. Plan to use left over product next week. So far the product results as expected.
