Will never use ever again
I’ve used scotts products for a while but this was the 1st i used weed & feed. What a terrible product. It completely burnt numerous spots around my lawn. My favorite part is if you look at my photos where it destroyed the grass and left the clover! How is that possible? I applied to wet lawn and used the proper spreader setting. I will admit that most (not all) of the burnt areas is where i may have overlapped too much, but it still should not of done this. Pictures are about 1 week after. I only used it because this year i had more clover and crabgrass than normal. Wish i never did this

    Great product
    I have been using Scott’s Turf Builder Weed and Feed for years because it always creates a weed free beautiful lawn. I use 8 10,000 sq ft bags since I have a large lawn but the cost and effort to apply are worth the results.

    Killed my grass too
    Used this for my lawn to kill some early clover and dandelions. We also had some moss growth. 24 hours after applying the grass turned brown in many spots....the lawn which was green now has areas of brown coloration.

      Used it on my Bermudagrass. The lawn is dead .
      I used it on my Bermuda grass as instructed . I used Scott mini drop spreader with setting 3 1\2 . Within a week the whole grass is brown and dead . This is not lack of water because the soil is still moist . It cant be more eater even because its 100 F out here in Bakersfield . The whole grass is dead and only left is few spotted spurges weed which seems to be not effected by this . Even the Soil PH is around 7 so its not acidic .

        Did not get rid of the clover
        I used this weed and feed in April. My yard still has the same amount of clover if not more than before I used it.

            Useless product and expensive
            Don’t waste your money. It barely affected the clover it claims to control. It actually did very little to control ANY weeds. Applied the product as directed too.

                Very Disappointed With the Results
                I bought and applied the Scotts Weed and Feed (15000 sq ft) about a month back . I applied it based on the instructions listed on the package. I have been very disappointed with the results. I have weeds all over my lawn. How can I remove and recover from the weeds without killing the grass ? I am attaching 4 pictures and can provide more. Thanks

                    Works pretty good!!!
                    I have been using Scott’s feed and fertilizer for a while and it works well. Beats paying a crazy amount for lawn service.

                      I though this was Weed remover and Feed
                      I used Scott’s Turf Builder Weed and Feed over two weeks ago and will never use it again. I used as directed on the package and it has literally no effect on defeating the dandelions in my yard. When I first applied the product I had a few scattered dandelions in my front yard. Since using the product, I have had what I would consider an outbreak and have spent about 2 hrs of my time pulling these deeded dandelions. I would expect to see some sort of damage to the dandelions as I have been pulling them but, they looked strong as if Scott’s Weed and Feed was actually helping them along. I have filled 3 bags like in the photo in the past two weeks after using a product guaranteed to kill said dandelions. Thanks for nothing, Scott’s

                        was great for 3 weeks after use..
                        I bought it to get rid of the weeds before overseeding. It didn't kill all the weeds and I have to care of the rest with vinegar, dish washer combo. I was happy with the result because there was no burned grass until see the label say wait a month before seeding. It was quite disappointing to wait a whole month. So read the label before buying it. Update: By the end of 3rd week after the application, weeds start to come back with new more powerful. I don't know the type of the weed but this one regrow even more. Welcome back to square one...waste of money

                          worse dandelion crop ever
                          The title says it all. After using your weed & feed as directed, we have the worst crop of dandelions and weeds I've ever had. It basically did nothing.

                              I purchased on line and used a Scott’s spreader set at the correct setting. Spread the white pellets and waited for it to kill the weeds. It killed everything but the weeds. The weeds are green and my grass is yellow ( dead). Thank God I ran out before I could do the front. I always use Scott’s products but never ever use this!! Check out my lawn Last picture is of the nice green front without Scott’s !! Uggh

                                Not as good as I hoped
                                I used the Weed and feed, my grass greened up, as good my neighbors lawn which is professionally cared for. Only problem, dandelions are co erring my yard. It just didn’t work, and I put it down before the grass really started to grow. I was timely on the application. So, disappointed with weed control but pleased with the nice lawn

                                    Made grass green but did nothing for weed control
                                    I was looking forward to getting rid of some of the clover and dandelions in my yard. This weed and feed made my grass greener, but did not help clear out any of the weeds. My kids are happy since they have lots of "wishies" to blow, but I am disappointed my clover is still growing, well, like a weed. See my photo for evidence of the clover still growing and alive almost after a month post-treatment.

                                                I put a before picture of my beautiful green grass. After using the Scotts products for a year I no longer have a lawn. The weeds are out of control the grass is completely gone. I worked my butt off for the last year to get a beautiful lawn. Now the weeds are so out of control the grass is completely gone. A minimum of $500 invested to end up worse than where I started.

                                                          Used for Years
                                                          When I became a homeowner here in Southern California in 1999, I had an "old-timey gardener" out to fix my sprinklers. He told me to use Scott's on my lawns, and I've been doing it ever since. I put down Weed & Feed in March or April, and there's not a dandelion or large weed to be seen in the lawn for months. The product is a bit less successful with the pesky clover, but does seem to minimize its growth. I took these photos the last weekend of July, in 100+ degree heat, and the lawn looks great...looks like this from about mid-May through October. Scott's is an annual part of my yard's care; very pleased with its performance.
