Pros: this one really works
Cons: none

Scotts lawn products are by far superior to most all other lawn products out on the market. There are some others that give better results on different things.

In my yard I have a couple of different types of grass. Being here in Florida,...

Pros: easy application, does good job, long lasting

Pros: I'll admit that in years past it performed well.
Cons: Some bags must be 'mixed' wrong because this year it killed my lawn.

Pros: produces a thicker and greener lawn
Cons: no noticeable weed reduction

Pros: It spreads good. This is all there is to say here.
Cons: Over the past few years, the reliability of this product is failing gradually.

I have been a user of Scott's Turf Builder with Plus 2 Weed Control for five years straight. Over the years, however, the results have gradually showed a decrease in improvement. Without question, I have been faithfully following the directions. I use ...

Pros: Easy Application With Drop Spreader
Cons: Lots Of Aerobic Activity For Sorry Results

Applied this product on my lawn in late April of last year. Followed all directions and properly calibrated drop spreader. Grass area looked great as fertilizer kicked-in; however, product did nothing to even reduce dandelions. In fact, it was our worst year ever. I am definitely not wasting my money on this product this year. On my next trip to the garden center, I'm going to read the ingredients to see how much potassium is in that stuff!

Pros: Sticks to wet weeds easily, spreads easily, and you can't argue with results.
Cons: Slightly dusty, just pour slowly.

I applied the Turf Builder with Plus 2 Weed Control a couple days ago. I applied it while the morning dew was still on the ground so the particles would stick to the few weeds I had (mainly clover). I am already starting to see the results in the clover as it turns yellow and looks sick. I sprayed earlier this spring with Ortho Weed B Gone Max, so my weed problem was 99% taken care of then.

Many reviewers on this site are complaining about the clumps. I only had one very small clump about half the size of a golf ball, and the clump was torn apart by the rotating piece at the bottom of the spreader. I didn't even have to touch it. So, I question where they are buying their fertilizer, and wondering if that store is storing it improperly, or using fertilizer left over from last year.

I've been using only Scotts products since I moved in last summer, and I have seen consistent improvements in my lawn.

Pros: Excellent if you need to KILL your lawn
Cons: Yes. I am informed and believe that their product claim is a con.

I had the most green and vibrant Dichondra lawn you could ever imagine. There were a few spots where it didn't grow in.

Scott's Turf Builder list that the product works on "Dichondra" on the bag.

I used it exactly per the instrux and it killed my entire lawn! I am devastated. When I called them, they were not surprised and said it would get worse before it got better.

I have pictures, videos, proof. This product/company has some explaining to do.

They need to list on the product label that it may KILL your entire lawn.

Does anyone know how to get this stuff out of your soil? Will I ever be able to grow the Dichondra lawn back?

Help!!!

Thanks!
