Response from Scotts Consumer ServicesSep 27, 2023
We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food and appreciate your feedback.

Any moisture that gets in the product will make the granules lump together. When it dries out, it forms hard clumps. If the product is stored in high heat or humidity or gets rained on, this can happen. Another possible cause is the product being stored on a concrete or cement floor or leaning against a wall made of either material. Concrete/cement draws moisture and can increase the chance of moisture getting in the bag. When purchasing the product in person, be sure to inspect the bags for signs of rips or other damage.

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 reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist. Scotts

      My favorite fertilizer, greens up fast and the green lasts. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the price is getting exorbitant.

        The most common reason a lawn does not respond to fertilizer is soil pH. Soil pH must be between 5.5-7.5 for fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. You may wish to perform a soil pH test. When mowing, be sure mower blades are sharp and do not remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time. Cutting more than that or having dull blades rips the grass causing browning of tips. Thatch over a 1/2" thick prevents the nutrients from getting to the plant roots. If the grass is under stress from disease or insect activity, or is dormant, it will not respond to the fertilizer. This includes during the heat of summer in northern states.
