    Q:can Scotts� Turf Builder� Southern Triple Action be applied on St. Augustine grass in Ft Lauderdale area in November to kill clover and dollar weed?
    by|Nov 22, 2023
    1 Answer

    A:  Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action can be used on St. Augustine grass (including Floratam), but should not be applied to a dormant lawn. Grass types product can be applied to do not tolerate fertilizer applications when dormant and therefore can be damaged. Both clover and dollarweed are included in the list of weeds this product will control.

          FANTASTIC
          Awesome results. I was not sure about it going in and the cost. My wife and I applied the fertilizer and we are very satisfied. We had quotes from professionals for 3 times the cost. Well worth the cost and effort

              Build a better lawn
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Scotts Turf Builder prosuct for free to test and give my opinion. Easy to apply to entire lawn with my walk behind drop spreader. I wish you didn’t have to water it in. It worked great to green up the lawn.

                Got a lawn now!
                I bought this and put it down in late March. Saw little to no effects at first but then weeds started to die. Followed with green treatment and the lawn is like new. Would recommend.

                  It works! My lawn is now green and lush
                  I tried this for the first time and it rejuvenated my lawn. It was easy to apply and the results were evident within 2 weeks. The attached images shows the before and after. The difference is clear. Just follow the instructions and you should be good. I used a hand spread with the setting at 2.

                    Feeds and prevents some weeds
                    After two applications (8 plus weeks apart) I still have a dollarweed infestation and fire ants are still noticeable. I even have dollarweed and other weeds coming up in places it was not before. The second application didn't seem to help with weed control either. The Bermudagrass that was mixed with St Augustine did die out a bit, but is coming back, and the St Augustine is thickening up. So, the 'feeds' part of this product does work, but the kills weeds and prevents fire ants is questionable.

                      I used the Scott's weed & Feed and it killed some of my grass. There was no instructions telling me not to use on Bermuda grass. Also it did kill the weeds but they came back in three weeks - but not my grass Very dissatisfied with this product. I have used Scott's lawn product for years.

This product does not prevent new weed development only kills weeds that were actively growing at the time of application. It is not a preventative, and is not listed to control crabgrass. The product only controls listed weeds. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 90 degrees for target weeds to be actively growing.

                          The crawdad mud mounds even went away
                          This stuff works! I had parts of my huge backyard with no grass and at least 15 crawdad mounds, after a couple weeks the mud patches were grass and the mounds were gone! We forgot the lye to get rid of the crawdads but this was the reason why they didn’t like the triple action, went away and we didn’t have to use the lye on them. Thank you Scott! We are new home owners but now new customer too!

                            I wasn’t taking care of the lawn and I had a bunch of weeds. The spring came, and I decided to treat with some weed and feed at least. I saw Scotts turf builder on sales and decided that was it. The pictures tell for themselves.
