One Bag Per Season, One Year of Great Grass
DESCRIPTION
Start the spring season off right with Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food. This pre-emergent weed killer plus fertilizer stops crabgrass before it invades and protects all season long. It also prevents other listed grassy and broadleaf weeds, including barnyard grass, foxtail, poa annua, chickweed, and oxalis. The added fertilizer feeds for a fast green-up after winter and helps build strong, deep grass roots. Apply Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food in early spring (prior to 3rd or 4th mowing) when your lawn is dry and before temperatures are regularly in the 80s. For best results, the lawn should receive ¼ to ½ inch of water from rainfall or watering within 2-3 days after application. We recommend using a Scotts® spreader to apply this product. For Scotts® broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 3. For Scotts® drop spreaders, use a setting of 6. Do NOT apply to Dichondra and Bentgrass. This product controls crabgrass in its early stages of growth. It does not control mature crabgrass and other existing weeds. One 13.35 lb. bag of Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food covers 5,000 sq. ft.

First time use, first impression great!
My home had a horrific lawn full of weeds and crabgrass (thanks to my neighbors' lawns who had the same). I put up with this for two years. This year I signed up for the Scotts lawn program and this was the first product.
Now my lawn is 100 times better. Still some weeds but no crabgrass.
I am applying the second program treatment this weel (Weed and Feed) and I'll see if that gets rid of the remaining weeds.
Just from this first treatment I recommend these products!

Wonderful product
This is a great product. I signed up to have Scott products arrive at different times of the year to keep my lawn looking like a park. My lawn is emerald green and weeds are eliminated.

30+ years using Scott's.
I've been using Scott's since the early 1990's. I lived in central Ohio across the street from a Scott's technical advisor not too far from the Scotts Marysville plant. He dialed me in on my 3.5 acres property then, and it still works the same today on my 3/4 acre property in central Indiana. Thanks Larry!
