Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Fertilizer, 5,000 sq. ft., 13.35 lbs. (2-Pack)

If you have a spreader, this is super easy. I have a little courtyard so I did this by hand down there. It is pretty big and heavy so maybe use some kind of small bucket. Be sure to wear gloves and long sleeves. The yellow dye is useful to see where you've spread it but it gets on everything. I used it right before rain was coming so it would dissolve right away. I got it specifically to kill weeds and hopefully keep the grass healthy.

This works very well. I use this and the fall lawn treatment and some weed killer that attaches to a garden hose for periodic lawn treatment. For less than $100.00 per year my lawn (approx. 1/5 acre) is virtually weed free and nice and green. People compliment my lawn. I would suggest using this with the Scotts spreader so you will know the precise setting to use.Let me also mention: I use dishwashing gloves when putting this in the spreader, to break up clumps, etc. You should not have this touch your skin. Also, this will not prevent crabgrass or other weeds all season long. The effect lasts approximately 3 months. I usually apply it right after St. Patrick's Day, or a week later. That is what I understand to be optimal. Later in the season I use weed killer in a container that attaches to a hose for application. That will kill the weeds after this has worn off.

No matter which step you choose you can depend on it to help

This Turf Builder not only fertilizes, but also prevents crabgrass from starting. It's very easy to use - put it in your spreader and go! Scotts Turf Builder makes your lawn GREEN! This is enough product to cover my yard several times throughout summer. Great price for this brand! Highly Recommend!

Pretty straightforward to use, the instructions were easy enough. This is my first time going with Scotts, but I picked it up because of all the solid reviews. Hoping it does the job and keeps the crabgrass out. So far, so good.

The bag arrived sealed well (usually fertilizers escape the bag in shipping). The instructions were clear and easy to locate on the bag and included the proper settings to use for the spreader, which I found particularly helpful. Using a walk behind drop spreader worked well and the pellets were small enough that no clogging occured. I watered after a few days (no rain forecast) and the product seemed to dissolve well-the pellets are an orange color that is pretty easy to see when distributed, so I was able to tell that they had dissolved fully. Now, I wait for the sun to help the fertilizer do it's magic!

The package arrived on time and there was no damage to the package. The package had no leakage. The instructions were really easy which made it easy to apply. The color of it makes it easy to see against the grass. Just make sure you wear gloves and keep your animals away from it until you water the proper amount required. I just spread it a couple days ago so I will have to update once it see how well it works.

I used this product to kill the weed but I don’t see any improvement to my grass.
