About This Product

It's time to put a stop to weed-infested lawns - take action with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3. This weed killer plus lawn fertilizer utilizes WeedGrip Technology to grip onto and kill the weeds you see and the ones you don't. This lawn weed killer with fertilizer controls over 50 listed weeds, including clover, dandelion, and plantain. In addition, this weed control and lawn food feeds to thicken your lawn and crowd out future weeds. This weed control product is great for homeowners and lawn care enthusiasts to use during their lawn maintenance to kill weeds, bringing them one step closer to a weed-free lawn. Apply Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 when weeds are actively growing and daytime temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 90°F. Make sure your grass is wet from dew or watering, as this helps particles stick to weed leaves to produce the best results. We recommend using a Scotts spreader: Set Scotts broadcast/rotary spreaders to 3 ½, or Scotts drop spreaders to 5. Do not water your lawn for 24 hours after application or apply if rain is expected within the next 24 hours. Do NOT apply to St. Augustinegrass (including Floratam), Dichondra, Lippia, Carpetgrass, and Bentgrass. Do not allow people and pets to enter lawn until dusts have settled. One 14.29 lb. bag of Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 covers 5,000 sq. ft.

Customer Reviews Summary

I've never used this product before, but I'm glad I found it! My lawn had gotten so full of weeds, I decided to just kill everything with a broad-spectrum vegetation killer and start over. Waited until Fall, then sprayed the lawn, waited 2-3 weeks and sprayed it again to make sure everything was dead. Had to look at bare earth all winter, but it was for the best.This is where I messed up... In the spring, I tilled up the entire area and immediately put down some very expensive grass seed. I've since learned that it's best to till, wait a week or so for the weed seeds you just tilled up to sprout, then spray weed killer again to get rid of all the weeds before putting down grass seed. Having planted the grass seed right after tilling, the number of weeds that sprouted was insane. I didn't have a lawn, I had a huge patch of plantain, clover, Japanese clover, dollar weed, and crabgrass. Some of the grass grew, but it was mostly weeds. I've read a lot of reviews for grass seed that complain about nothing but weeds growing, but their description indicates that they did the same thing I did and planted right after tilling. Anyway...I found this product and followed directions to hopefully kill off the weeds. I knew that I was going to have a lot of bare spots (since I had so many weeds that had crowded out the grass), but I planned to over-seed this fall, anyway. The plantain, dollar weed, and clover started to die within 2 days and were completely gone within a week. The Japanese clover, however, took a while longer to start to die. I was starting to think that I was going to have to re-apply this or a different brand to kill it, but after almost 2 weeks it finally started to wither and has now died off.I do have a lot of areas that need to be re-seeded, but at least the weeds are under control and mostly gone.The crabgrass will have to be treated a different way since this product does not kill actively growing crabgrass, and I'm overseeding this fall so I can't use a pre-emergent next spring, either. The combination of fertilizer and weed killer is great, though, since crabgrass is opportunistic and grows when turf grass is not well-fed or maintained. Hopefully, ensuring the health of the lawn will help prevent crabgrass from taking hold next spring.I'm happy with the results, even though it took longer than I expected for some of the weeds. The biggest difficulty I had was keeping the dog off the treated area for a few days (the info on the bag says no pets/humans for 24 hours, but I erred on the side of caution and waited until it rained before letting her back on the treated area).
