Get Ready To Mow
Maryland had an excessive amount of rain in 2017-2018 which led to a lot of soil damage and grass damage. My usual fall planting with soil amendments worked OK but in Maryland you get used to planting seed every fall. I saw Scott's Turf Builder Starter for new grass and gave it a try in the fall of 2018. Results were good but winter set in and growth stopped. I then went out on a limb and tried a winter sowing along with an application of Scott's Starter food. I didn't expect much of a success rate but as soon as Spring showed up, my grass growth exploded. Grass grew where I thought is was impossible and grew it did. I don't know what Scott's secret is but this stuff works, almost too good. I usually mow once a week but now have been mowing twice a week. Expensive but it sure delivers.

Great for Southern Lawn- new installed Zoysia Sod
An amazing product! I applied it days four after Zoysia turf install. It really gave the new Zoysia sod a jump start to growth in the heat of the summer. This product is incredible! I recommend this as a starter as well as a regular fertilizer when lawns are starting to go “sideways”. The quick results are phnominal!

this product has great features
sorry I have used scotts grass seed many times but this time I had a large area and no time to wait for it to grow so I had to buy sod but after installing it I used scotts starter fertilizer for new grass.I had a few leftover pieces and I put them on my shrub bed which is filled with goose egg rocks, so I laid the sod right over the rocks and fed it starter fertz. low and behold I had to cut the grass 3x with my trimmer and its still looking great in the winter.great great product.

The only way to go when you want new seeds to grow
This was the secret to growing a lush lawn under a thickly-leaved maple. You still need patients and consistent watering but my neighbors laughed when I tore out the mulch and planted a lawn. That was 8 years ago and, with regular care it is still going strong with no reseeding.

PRODUCT SAVED OUR NEW SOD
We are first time home owners with lawn irrigation and after our initial sod was laid we started having issues with the lawn dying. Not from overwatering, just bad sod. We decided to try Scotts for the first time and at first felt like the product wasn't working and second guessed our decision. Fortunately I changed the watering to evening and withing a week our yard was looking fantastic. Another week later it was even better. Very very happy with this product. Our lawn is the greenest green. Just used the Wintermix,and hoping for similar results.

Awesome Stuff!
We decided to plant seed in our yard instead of sod. Not being too aware of how to go about this, (not aware of how horrible the soil is here) I tilled up the soil last year and put in the seed, after about half a year, it grew up very slowly very short length not doing much... I was getting very frustrated, about ready to give up and just get sod. I went to the store and found this starter food and thought I'd give it one last try.. All I have to say is WOW! My grass started getting length and filling in and it looks awesome! I am so glad I decided to try it and save a lot of money on not buying sod! Thank You Scotts!!!

Grass Was Green Quick
I used this for the first time this year rather than starting the season with a weed killer. This was mainly because I seeded early and because this year's winter kept the grass well covered under snow. Using the starter product turned my grass greener than I have seen it in 3 years and it grew at a healthy pace. Did wonders for my lawn this year.

Great starter food for new and established lawns
As with all Scotts products, I have been nothing but satisfied with this starter food as well. This product won't solve all of your lawn problems, but preparation is the key. When starting a new lawn or repairing problem areas, a good mixture (50/50)of topsoil and compost worked into the area before seeding or feeding makes a world of difference. After adding this topdressing, why use an inferior product? Use Scotts!

Grass seeds on Steroids!!!
I applied Scott's Turf Builder Starter food for New Grass last fall on a reseeded lawn in a recently built home. After applying Scott's seeds, Starter Fertilizer was applied about a week and a half later, when some of the seeds started to germinate. This fertilizer acts as a steroid for recently germinated seeds making them grow faster and greener. It also makes the existing grass thicker and healthier. Based on my short experience with Scotts product, I will be their customer forever!!!

This prodcut worked as advertised.
I had two areas in my yard in which I planted new grass seed. One area I used Scott's, the other area I used another brand. The Scott's area came in thicker, greener and faster than the other area.

Lush results every time
As a turf maintenance pro I use and recommend Scotts TB Starter. It spreads nicely and yields instant gorgeous results. One of the benefits of Scotts fertilizer formulations is that each tiny pellet has all of the nutrient rather than having some N, some P and some K pellets as most other fertilizers have. One hint for spreading is to use flags 5' to 8' apart depending on your spreader. Spread rates are given for 5' spacing so you may need to increase the setting when using wider rows. I also use different flag colors to prevent criss-crossing rows. #Happens to the best of us#.
Besides for turf I also use this Starter Fertilizer as a general phosphate fertilizer such as in soil mixes with good results.
The only con is sometimes getting a bag that has been subjected to moisture. I usually drop the bag a few times before a open it to break up lumps. Make sure you store it in a dry location.

It is AMAZING at how much and how quickly my grass seed came up! Great product!
We plant rye winter seed in the fall. Last year I asked a professional landscaper, who is now a friend, how he wAs able to get his yards he tended to have such excellent results. The yard in particular is my neighbors. It appeared that every seed came up. He told me to use a starter like Scott's.
I was truly AMAZED at the results.

A top notch product
We had a very hot, dry summer this year and my normally beautiful lawn suffered badly even though I tried yo keep it morturized. This fall, in September, I thatched, seeded and put down Scotts Starter fertilizer. The results have been just spetacular! Within a few days my seed had sprouted and in ten days of planting the new grass is already more than an inch high. I highly recommend use of the product when seeding initially or overseeding.

Best All Around Lawn Greener
I find that this particular Scotts Formulation to be my universal "green-up" secret. Of course it is good for new grass support. However, even in dry times during the summer this will keep my grass greener and minimize water requirements.

Works As Advertised
I had a newly-sodded lawn for about two weeks. Applied Starter Fertilizer and two weeks later I started to see the results. I am going to reapply this month as it has been two months. Looking forward to the same results.

It really works
I just moved into my newly built home at the end of July 14. My land had top soil applied with hydroseed. I had been watering daily and had a lot of sprouts but also had a lot of bare/dry spots. I started researching and read some good things about Scott's products. I started researching and came across the food for new grass. I picked up a few bags and a spreader. I followed the instructions and applied on August 20 (5 days ago), just after my first mowing. I've continued my normal watering schedule and I am amazed at the difference I have seen in 5 days. The sprouts have really thickened up and taken root and the bald areas are starting to see more sprouts. I'm sure that as the weeks go by, the lawn will look better and better. In fact, my neighbors had their lot hydroseeded probably a month or more before mine and they even commented how much better my lawn looks than their own. I told them I watered, they said they did, also, I told them I used scott's fertilizer, they said, ahhhh.

Thickens the new lawn
I experimented and did not put the fertilizer in one small area. Within 10-14 days you could see the difference that Turf Builder Starter makes the new seed pop out of the dirt.

Restored what Army Worms Destroyed
I hired a local landscape company to install 4 pallets of Bermuda Sod in mid June. Thirty days later, Army Worm eggs in the sod hatched and nearly decimated the new growth within a three day period. Once the worms were eliminated, I purchased a bag of the starter fertilizer and watered for two weeks. I now have a thick deep green lawn again.

Would recommend to a friend
I have sodded my lawn two summers in a row. Its an ongoing process. And I've added this starter each time. The results are obvious. I would totally recommend this to anyone planting new grass.

Awesome product
I'm an avid Scott's user and I love this product . I use it anytime I plant new grass or fill in spots and it's never let me down. Really helps the grass grow when used correctly. I could tell a huge difference when used and not used.
