Questions & Answers
How soon can Scott’s lawn food be used after first applying Halts in the early fall to control poa annua?
Hey there, Jean! Great question. The timeframe to apply Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food following a Halts product will depend on the specific Halts product used, and whether or not it has a fertilizer as well. Please give us a call at 877-220-3089 at your earliest convenience, and we'll be happy to chat about the various products and their application waiting times. We're here to help!
How do I fix this problem
Thank you for reaching out! We would love to assist you with this. Please contact our support team at 877-220-3089 at your earliest convenience so we can help resolve this for you.
What temperature range would you use this product
Timing your fertilizer application perfectly is the secret to a great lawn. The main rule of thumb is to apply Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food when your grass is actively growing. In the spring, this means waiting until daily temperatures consistently land between 60°F and 80°F (15°C–26°C). If you have a Southern, warm-season grass, hold off on fertilizing until the lawn is completely out of dormancy—ideally after your first mow of the season. Finally, if you're feeding your lawn in the peak of summer (over 85°F / 30°C), be sure to water it in right away to protect the grass from heat stress.
Rate to spread
Hello Mike, thanks for contacting us! Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food is meant to be applied at a rate of 2.5 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Depending on the model of spreader you are using, spreader settings will vary. If you have any questions or if there's anything else we can do to assist you, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 877-220-3089. We're here to help!
