Watering Tips
While you don't have to water this product in, a light watering after you apply will help the nutrients get to work even faster.
Product Tips
- Feed on a Schedule: For a truly great-looking lawn, we recommend feeding it four times a year—early spring, late spring, summer, and early fall.
- Leave the Clippings: When you mow, leave the grass clippings on the lawn. They'll break down and return valuable nutrients to the soil.
Product Safety
- You're Good to Go: Your family and pets can get back to enjoying the lawn right after you've applied the product.
- Wash Up: It's always a good idea to wash your hands with soap and water after you're done.

The Program Doesn't Include Their Best Stuff
The turf builder is adequate however for my climate, the Summergaurd product would've been more appropriate. I wish that was automatically included in the subscription. Also Scott's needs a pre-emergent to be placed during later winter.

Rid the weeds!
Still a little early to determine the effectiveness of the weed and feed. I have used Scotts products almost exclusively over the years and have been satisfied. This property is new to me, so there is much work to do.

Tried Scotts on my lawn
Scott's has been producing / selling fertilizers for as long as I can remember. The sale in July gave me an opportunity to try out Scotts on my lawn. I applied it when it arrived. By mid-July, after the application, my lawn is noticeably greener. I am very happy with Scott's !

Loyal Scotts user has Lawn decimated
We use Scotts products for decades , they have been our only source of lawn support and care. We now live on the NC coast from Long Island. We had to install St. Augustine at the water because of the environment , Dollar Weed has taken root . We went to Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed . Used exactly as directed. It's killing my Augustine NOT the Dollar Weed. It was also used on our centipede which is fine. see pic's
