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.
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.
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!.
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.
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!.
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.
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.
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.
