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.

Turfbuilder plus works
Scott's turfbuilder plus works. I have been using this product for many years and my lawn looks fantastic. The subscrption and app are great. They eliminate guesswork as well as tracking how much rainfall and needed watering you need.

A Great Product that Does What it Advertises
This product is easy to apply, requires no after application maintenance, and does what it advertises to do. It stops the early crabgrass growth and helps promote bright green, healthy lawns. The only drawback is that it requires the ground and lawn to be dry for application which in the early Spring is not always easy to achieve.
