Help for Zoyshia grass
Having Zoyshia grass in Florida is great during the summer months. Unfortunately when it goes dormant during the cold season clover, dollar weed, and a myrid of undesirables take over. One treatment with Turf Builder Bonus makes things right. Next two days after spreading bad stuff is gone

Very dependable
After using Scott's Bonus S for a while now. My lawn has never looked better. I use it 4 times a year in central florida. I noticed immediate results from the onset and now whole lawn is almost weed free and healthy..

kills weeds that are tough to kill
Bonus S is a great product. I have an area with constant dollarweed and Bonus S killed almost all of it. I will probably need to re-apply, but dollarweed is really tough to kill in just one application. I am happy with this product - it works well!!!

Easy to use
I have been using this every year since I have lived in my house, 20 years. It is very easy to use and my yard is the envy of my neighborhood. It doesn’t take long to green up and kill the weeds and start looking lush.

Dependable and effective !!
This product has been a staple in my lawn care program every spring for a number of years. I generally cannot wait to apply Bonus S to my lawn in early to mid March.
My lawn greens up quickly and the majority of weeds begin to die off. I look forward to reapplying a second lighter application in mid-May. I would not consider buying or using any other brand of weed and feed other than SCOTTS.

Great Return for your Investment of this product
I applied this Scotts product the day I got it and the results did not take long at all. Within the week my grass greened up and the weeds were dissipating. Using my Scotts broadcast spreader, it was a snap applying the granules and I was finished quickly. I will 100% use this product over and over again.

Perfect for my yard
I have a mix of grasses in my yard, along with the traditional springtime weeds. I love that in one application, not only can I provide a booster to my grass, but eliminate the enemy as well! Easy to use, and will continue to use.

Great Turf Builder
Great value, easy to use. My lawn came to life with this Bonus S treatment.
Lawn looks greener and thicker. It was like my lawn needed this to get going for summer. Best of all it saves your back, kills the weeds, no bending and stretching to pull out all those nasty weeks. I recommend this for a great green weed free lawn.

Very effective on Weeds in St Augustine grass.
In Florida if you do not use something like this product you will have more weeds than grass. Our grass or lawns grow year round. However, so do the weeds. This product has been very effective in reducing the weeds, and killing most of them.

Great Product for N. Fla Lawns
I've used this as my weed and feed spring time fertlizer on my N.Fla St. Augustine lawn and it really takes care of the early red clover and dollar weed. It has a slow and steady release of fertilizer and continues to kill the clover that tries to emerge after a rain. It works well and encourages new growth of the St. Augustine grass which was hit by fungus last year.

Works OK requires more applications than suggested
I bought this product in 2023 when I had a house built and had a lot of problems with dollar weed.
The one thing I found with this product is well. The directions on the back say apply it once wait 8 weeks and then reapply if needed. I found that I was applying this every 4 to 6 weeks to keep my dollar weed in control along with a few other weeds in the yard.
I will say that the grass was very green. I really lush for St. Augustine grass. However, it's a very expensive solution that it seems as though requires much more applications than directed in order to remediate the weeds.
I'm going to try it again this year (24) and determine if the expense at buying three to four bags of this a year is a sound financial investment or if I need to hire a service to come out and take care of it at that cost. I don't mind supporting local businesses, but at the same time this isn't very difficult to apply. It's more of. Is it the right chemical that goes in my lawn.
I hope is is that Scott's didn't sell out to some sort of equity firm and they're cutting corners by using substandard costs and in doing so providing a less powerful solution for homeowners to control their lawns and keep the HOAs off of our backs.

Great for St. Augustine grass
Works well with St. Augustine grass if applied in early spring. For some reason, it does not handle dollar weed that well, though it may be the absorption rate into the soil; our soil is not great except for top layer. When applied early in season, it feeds the grass as it begins to grow and quickly shows a nice blue/green color.

Knocked out dollar weed
I was having bad dollar weed problems this year, and this weed and feed took care of it in 1 application in my Zoysia grass. Atrazine is the active ingredient and usually works very well. It was completely gone within a couple of weeks. It did provide some Greenup as well, which was an added benefit.

Bonus S seems to be working
Seems to be improving the appearance of the lawn already, 2 weeks in. But I have a long way to go. Lots of crab grass and nutsedge to deal with. Wondering if I can apply a Nutsedge killer to the lawn and when. Lots of bare spots and the crab grass loves that. I live along the gulf coast so lots of very sandy soil and that means it drains fast and stays dry which makes things difficult. Having the lawn aerated in a couple days and hoping that helps. But still, when, if I can apply some sort of nutsedge killer to the lawn? May 1st I applied Bonus.

Could improve weed control
I am a Scotts user. I use Bonus S every year. I noted weeds reduce a bit, but not enough. Need to add some other weed control products.

Easy to apply
It has been a little over a week since the Bonus S was applied. I noticed the grass getting a darker green. I have not noticed any weeds dying out so far. So maybe it is to early to see all benefits of the Bonus S.

It helps the grass grow.
I received this as a sample. I applied it to my lawn. It did kill most of the dollarweed. There are other weeds in my south Florida yard that it does not kill. It doesn't seem to green my lawn as well as my other brand fertilizer without the weed killer.

Formula Needs Updating
Lifelong Floridian here. Bonus S used to be quite effective for weed control on St Augustine lawns, however as a result of the drier, warmer climate we've experienced over the last 5 - 10 years, the weed varieties are increasing and becoming more prolific. Bonus S simply can't handle them the way it used to. I know all the rules; apply between mowing's, using recommended spreader settings, thoroughly water it in, spot treat stubborn patches, reapply in 8 weeks if needed, etc. And still, the weeds persist.
The environment is changing. Weed control agents need to change as well. The old stuff just doesn't do it anymore.

I bought 3 large bags of Bonus S and 1 bag os MAX.
I buy Scott Bonus S every year. It is good as a fertilizer, but I have never seen it kill dollar weeds or any other weeds. I spent $225 on this fertilizer, and got the usual results; will not kill weeds. I will be buying cheaper fertilizer that does not claim to kill weeds. Why do you keep advertising that it kills weeds?

Doesn't kill weeds anymore!
I have been using Bonus S for 20 years in S FL and the product has always performed in the weed control category. I always apply extra of what is stated on the bag! This time it didn't even touch the hard weeds and DID NOT KILL THE DOLLAR WEEDS. Maybe because of cost, they reduced the Atrazine amount in the bag; either way I'm not spending this much money for a crappy product. Goodbye Scotts!

Bonus S not working on my lawn
I bought Bonus S for southern lawns in Florida. I put it down about 3 weeks ago and my lawn on the side yard didn’t green up and I have a lot of dollar weed and other weeds growing now in my yard after putting this fertilizer down.

Terrible products from Scott’s. Never cover the area they say. Your pre-emergence stinks. The crabgrass took over.
Scott’s would not re-imburse product or refund.
