Ruined my shoes and jeans
I just applied the product today. The yellow die in the product makes it easy to see where it is on the ground but also has ruined my shoes and jeans. Why why why???

Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer
I swear by the Scott's app and productsnfor my Northern Va lawn. However, I put down Turf Builder/Crab Grass preventer a week ago (as recommeded by Scotts). Followed the instructions very carefully. Crabgrass is going stronger than ever and chickweek has invaded my beautiful lawn. It is greener, but now full of weeds. Scotts did not seem to have any impact AT ALL on the Chickweed and Crabgrass. Please help.

So Far so good
Spread out fertilizer 10 days ago, just mowed first time today. Looking good! Followed directions precisely. Can’t tell from photo but grass is getting thicker and greener than any others on street.

Customer review from ScottsAug 24, 2020
Poor quality product
I have used Scotts products for decades but in the past two years the crabgrass preventer has failed miserably. I have the worst crabgrass infestation in the neighborhood despite using the Turf Builder with Halts in the early spring. I planted the lawn by hand five years ago and it was beautiful for three years. Then I used the Turf Builder Triple Action with terrible results. Hundreds of crabgrass clumps emerged and I dug many up and used spray to kill many others. This year I used the Turf Builder with Halts and had the same lousy result. I believe that Scotts has changed the formula for the pre-emergent because I never had these problems in the past.

Response from Consumer Service Aug 25, 2020
We are sorry that the Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer did not prevent crabgrass as expected. To get the best results from Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer, it should be applied before weed seeds germinate. It will not kill existing weeds. Do not aerate or dethatch the lawn after using crabgrass preventers as this will break the product barrier in the soil, and the product will fail. 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 contact us to see what can be done.

This did wonders for my grass. I did hydroseed the year prior and after the winter my yard was yellow, very patchy, and at the end of last year was full of crab grass in places. A few weeks after I used Scotts turf builder and crab grass preventer my yard is green and I can barely keep up with mowing it it's so healthy! Can't wait to put the weed and feed on next month!

I am hoping this product will prevent new crabgrass from growing and applied it according to timeframe suggested by Scott's. It is too early to tell if it will work since the crabgrass doesn't appear this early in the season. Our grass is nice and green now and we have gotten a fair amount of rain over the past several weeks.

Turf builder with Halts
Bought recently and applied May 7th. Not pleased with the large hard chunks in the bag. Had to break up and problems plugging the spreader. Photo shows condition after breaking up some chunks.

Weeds all over
I laid down this product in early spring as well as Scotts WeedEx prevent with Halts in the fall. My yard has never looked this bad. I've been using Scotts products for over 15 years. The past couple of years have been disappointing. Neither of my next door neighbors have these types of weeds. You used to see a clear barrier between lawns, with mine being the best. Not anymore.
