    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.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food.

    Any moisture that gets in the product will make the granules lump together. 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.

    If there is anything we can do to help you have a 5-star experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 877-220-3089 for assistance. Scotts

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

      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.

      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

      Spread it on my lawn and watered it in. The results were mixed. On the shadier side of the lawn it was good. On the sunny part it was just okay. It never really greened up.

      For best results, the soil pH must be between 5.5 and 7.5 for the fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass and should receive at least an inch of water per week. Be sure to apply to lawn when it is out of dormancy as a dormant lawn will not absorb or use the fertilizer. Thatch over 1/2" thick will prevent the nutrients from getting to the plants. 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 will rip the grass causing browning of the tips.

      Wood chips/mulch or top soil?
      Each bag I get is just mostly wood chips. I understand wood is organic material and helps with moisture but i am trying to buy turf builder/top soil. I have purchased around 30 or so bags over the last couple of weeks and am continuously disappointed in the wood chip to top soil ratio. I am done with this product.
