            We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn Sun & Shade and appreciate your feedback. the seed in this product is expected to germinate within 6-14 days. The speed of germination can be impacted by several factors, such as temperature, moisture levels and whether or not a weed control product was used around the time of seeding. There are approximately 10,000 weed seeds per 1 cubic foot of native soil. Soil preparation brings weed seeds to the surface, so it s normal to have some weeds germinate when seeding. All Scotts seed is thoroughly cleaned and is 99.9% weed seed free. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

                  Terrible product flow for SummerGuard fertilizer
                  I just got finish applying Turf Builder Summerguard Lawn food with a Scotts speedy green 3000. First thing I noticed was how large the particles were. When I used the suggested setting of 3 3/4 hardly anything came out. I gradually increased to a 9 setting which I have never used. I have been putting scott's fertilizer on the same lawn for 25 years, four times a year. This time, even at a 9 setting I have fertilizer left over. The product simply did not flow very well. I kept have to "shake" the dispenser to get product to flow.

                    For best results, this product should be applied when daytime temperatures are between 80℉ and 90℉, making the soil temperatures between 70℉ and 90℉. Cool nighttime temperatures can delay the germination process even if warm enough during the day. Germination should begin in 7-14 days under ideal growing conditions.

                        Killed my grass and changed pH
                        I put some of this in a few thin areas in grass that was otherwise healthy and green. The grass in that area is now mostly dead as the photo show. I couldn’t figure it out so tested the pH and it’s way off now and too acidic. I’ve put lime down to counteract it but will likely have to pull out the dead grass. I worked on a large section of this grass last summer including laying new sod myself and now to have to do it all again after using this is beyond frustrating.

                          Caused Verticillium Wilt in my Silver Maple Tree
                          Contained mold spores that 100% killed my young silver maple tree… The tree had been planted three years earlier and I had mulched around it for the first couple years. Since the tree was thriving and had grown a few feet the year prior, I decided to seed the area under the tree. I put this product down and now it’s June and the leaves are completely withered and are now dropping from the tree. Look under the tree in my photo and also notice it didn’t grow any actual grass smh
