    Answer This Question

    A:  Yes, I have many other plants in my garden and used this product for lawn. None of plants died. I would not put this fertilizer specifically for plants as there are many good alternatives.

    by|Jul 31, 2022

      A:  Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Fertilizer for All Grass Types is not designed for use on ornamentals or mulched areas. If accidentally applied to ornamentals, wash immediately off the plants. While it is just a fertilizer, the nutrient content is formulated for use on the lawn only.

                    Answer This Question

                    A:  While regular lawn fertilizer like Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Fertilizer will not inhibit seed germination, and therefore can technically be applied anytime before or after seeding/sodding the lawn, it also does not help it.

                      Answer This Question

                      A:  We always water well for a day or two after application. We have an area we leave untouched for the dog to go. After about two days, then we allow the dog to go wherever. This is a procedure when we apply anything to the lawn.

                      by|Apr 29, 2022

                        A:  Pets such as cats and dogs may reenter immediately after application. While not necessary, as an additional precaution, water application area and allow it to dry before reentering.

                              A:  This product does not need to be mixed with anything. Just follow the directions on the bag. I guess you could mix it with compost if you wanted.

                                A:  Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Fertilizer is formulated to feed all grass types. Apply to your lawn with a spreader set on the rate listed on the bag. THis product should not be mixed with anything when applying.

                                  A:  I just spread around my yard. I do use it 3 times per season.

                                    A:  Turf Builder does NOT have to be combined with compost at all to feed your lawn. It has the proper balance of all the nutrients a lawn needs. It always does a great job on my lawn. But thinly top dressing a lawn in early spring with compost is always great, especially after aerating It.
