Does not work!
I would not purchase! I applied this to my lawn, and I live in south mississippi. It did literally nothing to the weeds. I know it was the correct amount also because it's rated for 15k ft of coverage and I used about 11k worth with some left over, which is the correct sq ft usage on my property. it also lightly rained that evening which it reccomends, so perfect conditions and did nothing. Waste money, go with Scott's.

    Very selective as to what it kills
    I purchased 2 bags and set my Scott's spreader at 3 1/2 as directed on package. I did my backyard, side yard, and front yard. It seems that this stuff is very selective as to which weeds it decides to kill. I have a ton of healthier than ever dandelions though.

      Ended up killing my grass!
      I bought 3 bags of this product to green up my yard this fall. Less than a week later my grass was dying everywhere. Not sure what gonna happen now in the spring to get it to grow again. 45k sq ft of crappy lawn. It was beautiful all summer! So very disappointed.

        We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Vigoro Weed & Feed(I) 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 and 7.5 for fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. You may wish to perform a soil pH test. If you have thatch over a 1/2-inch thick, the product may not reach the soil and the roots.

        This product should be applied to a wet lawn but then not be watered within 24 hours of application. Some weeds may twist and curl within the first week (even a few days), however, it may take 2 to 4 weeks for a complete kill. If the area is under heat/drought stress, or temperatures are above 90 degrees F or below 60 degrees F, the lawn may go dormant, slowing the greenup and weed control as well. There may also be an underlying issue, like a lawn disease or insect activity contributing to the appearance of the lawn. This product does not prevent new weeds from growing.

          For best results, weeds should be wet with dew or light watering when applied and then not again for 24 hours to help product stick to the weed leaves so that it can be absorbed. Although visible results may be seen within a few days, it may take 2-4 weeks to completely kill the weeds. Scotts_Vigoro

            It works...
            It really works... i was skeptical at first....When i did the first three passes....and i didnt see result....But then after a few days.... My weeds started dying....Then i added Turf Builder 16 lbs. Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Mix....I did like 7 pass in a 10 day ...I have a few patches but nothing to bad that i can fix myself...So it takes about a month to see result not 2 weeks Infinite Marketing https://www.infinitemarketing.co

              Works as well as the pros
              Given the cost of everything these days, I had to let my lawn service go and maintain the lawn myself. The results are at least as good as the $300/month service I was paying for at a fraction of the cost. The results are amazing. I'm using the Scott's app to determine what to apply and when, but I buy Vigoro because it's much less expensive than Scott's. I really thought it would take a pro to maintain my lawn, but anyone can do it with the right products (and following the directions).

                Won’t purchase again
                Yard is still covered in cloves and dandelions two months after application. I purchased two bags to cover front and back yard 30,000 ft.² total. Pretty disappointed.

                It will kill you lawn before kill the weed!!
                I bought a pack of this product two days ago, my lawn is brand new, and there is not much weed, just concentrated in some places, I spread this product evenly, and in order to achieve the best result, I make sure the lawn is wet ahead of time. 4 days later it ruined my lawn, see attached pics, saw so many people's lawns burnt in the comment section, we decided to contact them and sue this company together! Their product sucks! ! !

                  I’m impressed
                  My front lawn had dandelions and other weeds and had brown spots from putting a bad product on it last year, I used this product AS PER the directions, and it worked wonders, killed my weeds and made my lawn greener than the neighbors and more full

                    Bags had large clumps
                    I Purchased three (3) 15,000 sq ft. bags at my local Home Depot got them home. All bags were clumpy see photo. Had to pour them into my wheelbarrow to break up the clumps and sift them so that they would work in my broadcaster. Dissatisfied, because I had to put extra time into breaking up and sifting the clumps. Home depot should store the product inside out of the weather.

                      Weed & Feed
                      I Purchased two bags at my local Home Depot got them home. Both bags were super clumpy and wet. Had to spread out plastic on my driveway open and spread the product out to let it dry in order to put it in my broadcaster. Very dissatisfied with the product.

                        Don't waste your money
                        I applied this to my lawn hoping to improve on the grass and to kill/ prevent dandelions and crab grass. I followed the instructions to the word and was excited to see some results. 2. 5 weeks since application and I have dandelions everywhere, my grass that I intended to help now has large brown areas. I intended to improve my lawn and this made it worse. Do not make my mistake. Don't use this product, do not waste your money and time, don't ruin your yard.

                          Did NOTHING
                          Bought from HomeDepot and used it as per the instructions. Its now day 7 and the weed is "As" bad it was pre Vigoro Weed & Feed Treatment. I wish I used Scott as it has been tried and tested. Wanted to give Vigoro a chance but I guess it was a mistake.

                              Vigiro Weed and Feed
                              4 weeks made the difference between a dead yellow lawn and a lush green lawn. dandelions are popping up 4 weeks later and it didn't touch the creeping Charlie. I know that it needs to be spread when weeds are actively growing so I'm sure some of these weeds are new. happy with the color and fullness of the lawn has an opportunity to improve on weed killing.

                                  Vigoro ruined my backyard
                                  Local store was out of Scotts so I purchased 2 bags of Vigoro Weed and Feed. I put it down in early June before the temp got above 90. OMG! This is the worst. What areas of my backyard that Vigoro did not burn out (you can see in the image the track of the spreader, it was a damp morning as recommended and granules stuck to the wheels) Everything is now infested and overrun with weeds. Images are 3 weeks after application.

                                          Waste of Money
                                          I purchased 2 bags of this for my yard. I used Scott’s last year and had no issues. I decided to try this Vigoro brand which seemed to be popular at our Home Depot. What a mistake! I put it on as instructed over the whole yard. An hour long process. You could see it on the ground when I was finished. It was there for a day and a half then we had rain. I thought as soon as the rain came most of the dandelions would be dead in a day or so after. Wrong! It killed maybe 10 % (and that’s probably stretching it) of the dandelions the other 90% are all over the yard. Wasted $100.00 dollars. I don’t recommend this product at all. Now I’ll have to go back and buy the Scott’s and spend $100.00 more dollars for a product that will actually kill the dandelions.

                                            weed killer didn't work!
                                            Applied on my lawn and after four days I would have been very lucky if it killed 10 percent of the weeds. Will not use again!

                                              Been buying this product for years. I switched from a lawn service because of costs. Great results and super green lawn.

                                              Absolutely horrible. This product killed my luscious sod that I spent so much time and money into this spring. Now I’m left with patchy burnt grass. This $17-$20 product costed me $2000 worth of sod to be demolished in a few days.
