I live in southern NY I purchased ultra feed for my grass and plan to apply in mid July ! Is this application similar to Scott Summerguard? I’m looking to strengthen turf and green up the grass .

Answer This Question

Hi Alan. You're curious about Scotts Summerguard with Insect Control and Scotts Turf Builder Ultra Feed. Here's what you need to know: Scotts Summerguard with Insect Control: Feeds and strengthens your lawn against heat and drought, while also handling listed bugs. Scotts Turf Builder Ultra Feed: A fast-acting, long-lasting feed that lasts up to 6 months thanks to our Secure Nutrients. It feeds up to 3X longer than standard Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food. Apply to all grass types and lightly water in. Spring: We recommend applying when temperatures are consistently above 60°F. Fall/Winter: Fertilizer can be applied up until the ground is frozen. High: For the best results, if temperatures are over 85°F water in immediately after the application to avoid plant stress.

                Answer This Question

                The Scotts Turf Builder UltraFeed is not an organic product however it is still safe for use in areas where pets have access. Before letting them back out into a treated area, we recommend watering the product in and allowing it to dry.

                  This fertilizer can be temperamental. I bought 2 bags, first went on in early March. Three months later it looked like I had no fertilizer down so I decided to put down bag 2. The lawn was yellow/green striped. It was a wet spring but for whatever reason the fertilizer did not release as planned. The week after I put down the second bag, June, we got 4 inches of rain. Now the lawn is very green & looks like it got an iron treatment. Will not buy again as sometimes the lawn looks green & sometimes it looks like yellow/green stripes. Going back to regular fertilizer.

                    Kept plugging up spreader
                    I just purchased a 40 bag of Scott’s ultra feed and all it did was keep clumping in the spreader. I was using a tow behind Agri-Fab spreader. Even with the setting on 3 it would immediately plug up. I opened it all the way it would spread a lot for a second then plug up. I had to spread the whole 40# by hand. Even when I was down to an inch in the spreader it would plug up. There were no holes in the bag and everything seamed dry but the gayish dirt like stuff in it would clump up terribly. Would not recommend using!

                    The clumping of the product will not alter the effectiveness of the product. Unfortunately, it is caused by moisture that gets into the bag, either during the manufacturing process or during storage at our many retail outlets. Over the years, we have spent several millions of dollars trying to eliminate this problem through improvements in both our manufacturing plant and through packaging improvement. While the situation has improved considerably, we still have some way to go, and we are continuing to work on it. Should you feel clumping in your next bag, you may want to drop it on the cement once or twice in order to break up any particles before opening the bag. If there are still lumps, you can break the lumps up by hand. Be sure to wear gloves when doing so.

                      I used Scotts Turf Builder on my lawn and honestly it did a pretty good job. After a couple weeks the grass started looking greener and thicker, and some of the patchy spots filled in nicely. It was easy to spread and didn’t take much effort. Just make sure not to overdo it or you can burn the grass a little. Overall, solid product if you want your yard looking better without doing anything too crazy.

                      This lawn fertilizer has a large percentage of SLOW release nitrogen fertilizer. Other fertilizers supply to much nitrogen too quickly. Always look for this feature in a fertilizer to avoid waste and thatch build up. 40-0-5 (40%) 31.9% slow available Urea Nitrogen.

                      After spraying my yard for weeds, I was left with many bald spots. To repair the damage, I used a simple process that has worked great for me in the past. I fill the bald spots with new topsoil, planted Floratam St. Augustine grass plugs, and treated the area with Scotts Turf Builder. I've used this fertilizer before, and it consistently delivers. It not only makes the existing lawn look vibrant and green but also gives the Floratam grass runners the boost they need to spread quickly into those topsoil areas. My lawn is already well on its way to being fully filled in!

                      It is hard to say if UltraFeed is any different than the others. I did replace my old Scotts spreader with the Elite model, and it turned out to be a complete mess. The first time ever in 35 years I put down stripes, due to that flawed spreader. Now I will have to wait a couple of months before I can fix my lawn...

                      We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder UltraFeed and appreciate your feedback.

                      When streaks appear after an application you can be sure they are caused by either a mechanical problem or human error and not by disease or insects. Narrow light green or yellowish streaks may be due to not properly overlapping when applying a product that contains fertilizer either did not overlap enough causing some streaks to not green up because did not receive any fertilizer or overlapped to much overapplying fertilizer to some areas causing the grass to yellow or brown out.

                      Bought two bags of “Rapid Grass Tall Fescue”. Grass seems to be growing well. But, I now have Mimosa growing everywhere I put down fescue seed. Seems like I got a mix of mimosa trees and fescue - NOT what I was looking for. Wish it had been all fescue. Guess returning the seed would be tough!

If moisture gets in the product during shipping or storage will make the granules lump together. If product is completely solid and cannot be easily broken apart we recommend disposing of product. The product should not be used because it cannot be properly applied. Scotts
