Questions & Answers

How does it affect the growth of grass seed if I mix turf builder lawn food with seed and then apply to the ground?

The ground needs to be tilled. Add fertilizer to the soil. Put seed in the dirt. Rake the dirt. Get out there and rake dirt. It is necessary to water your lawn every day until it has established itself. When spreading dirt, you should put down fertilizer, then spread dirt, then You should rake the dirt daily and water it until you see grass.

What if we have a hot summer and I want to fertilize the new sod?

Although I make sure to water it down well after putting down You will burn the grass if you do not water it immediately after cutting. My stock was put down around 7 a.m. There will be a program at 500 p.m. The water doesn't evaporate as fast as it would otherwise.

Do you think that this will also have an initial effect on weed growth? Compared to last year, our weeds seem worse this year. The seeding process with our grass seed did not require any rototilling before the seeding. ?

You will not see weeds in your yard due to Scotts Turf Builder. This is your problem if you did not rototill first. Because I rototill first, and then I put down sod on top, I don't have weeds in my lawn. This year, the grass has really begun to grow.

There is something that I do not understand about 14 m is what it means. Is it the amount of square feet Is it possible to know what the weight of each bag is as well?

A total of 14,300 square feet is covered by this product. I believe the bag weighs between 20 and 25 pounds and is of medium size.

After I put the STARTER on my lawn, I was thrilled with how it looked for six weeks
5/5

After I put the STARTER on my lawn, I was thrilled with how it looked for six weeks. After I applied Turf Builder weed and feed to it, it quickly spiraled out of control.

I like it a lot
5/5

In the south closer to the Gulf, we have a humid and wet season in September, so I laid St Augustine late in the month. As soon as the grass did not respond after a month, I tried this Scotts grass food. I found it to be very effective. It was as if grass was beginning to stand tall and grow. The last time I applied the cream was 4 weeks ago, so I will apply another dose. With a drop spreader and following the dosage instructions on the bags, you won't be disappointed with Scotts products that I've used with St. Augustine grass for more than 20 years in Daytona Beach and now in the Panhandle near Pensacola. Don't burn your grass by not watering. Follow directions so that your grass doesn't dry out.

The system is very effective
5/5

Sand is a very poor source of nutrients, so my soil contains very little. My lawn didn't start growing right away last fall after I planted it. It was difficult to get the grass to grow at all this spring. As soon as I added this, it filled in quickly and looks fantastic. Had I taken before and after photos, I would have seen the difference! It is one of the few lawn fertilizers to contain phosphorous, a mineral that stimulates the growth of roots. You have some good stuff here!.

I think it's going well so far
5/5

The grass seed was put down in our back yard about six weeks ago, in addition to I've kept the new grass watered, with low foot traffic, cutting as infrequently as possible, and feeding it with this new grass food as directed, and so far, the new grass is doing As well, it probably fed the weeds, but they can be pulled out and mowed, which in the end will result in a thicker grass bed that keeps weeds at bay. It's a good product, highly.

It burned everything in my yard! Stay away! I don't want anyone in my yard! The lawn looked so good that I used the Sun and the Moon to water it The grass grew after I planted Shade Seeds and watered it every day
3/5

A few days later, I was so happy to see everything looked so good and my lawn guy said I needed There was no way to clean it up after I used it. With all my hard work and the cost of the seeds, I must have spent over $200 in seeds, and with my water bills doubled, I was unable to complete my project. This is garbage, and you shouldn't buy it! I strongly advise you to stay away! You're in danger! You're in danger! You're in danger! ALSO, I got rid of the lawn guy!.

I had a bad experience with this company
3/5

The bag of seeds/grains ended up with a small hole on it, which caused nearly half of the bag to spill out of After bringing the box of ordered items into my home, I noticed seeds or sand-like grains had come out of the bottom of the box and made their way onto the My first observation upon opening the box was that there were many sand like grains of sand. In addition to the seeds/grains on my floor, I also had to take other things out of the box.

There are some areas where work is being done
4/5

Since our soil is poor, we have not been able to get grass to grow in more than one spot for the past few years. has helped as putting this down before grass seeds by about a few weeks has seen a lot more new seeds appearing. The growth is not uniform as bare patches remain in some of the harder to grow spots. Unsure why this is happening. Nevertheless, I'll give it another try with the fall feeding and see if I can't get some of the grass to sprout. It's given the rest of the existing lawn a beautiful green color and it is rapidly growing. If you need to fertilize your lawn, this is an ideal product to try.

Lawns that have been established benefit greatly from this product
5/5

It was recently suggested to me by local (Cleveland) landscapers to use it every four weeks. The following product is 5 times more expensive than He was surprised to find out he was right two times over the recommended app rate. In order to do that, you have to be on your way to. The size of a 5 to 7 It only rained a couple of inches (irrigation system does not count) in subsequent days, but my grass turned from brown to deep dark green in a matter of hours. My grass was growing slowly and I had been just pulling weeds for quite some time. I started doing this this summer and my grass now looks great in the July heat, and the weeds have been crowded out.
