Great Stuff!
We always go with the southern triple action as it tends to prevent most of the most common weeds we get each year and always leaves our grass with enough food to last till the next treatment. Definitely pick this one up.

Works Great
I'v been using Scotts Turf Builder about four years and it does a great job keeping my centipede grass thick, green and healthy even on the hot humid days here in the south. It also helps with controlling weeds and ants.

Great all in one product for your lawn!
This Scotts Southern Triple Action has been my go-to choice for fertilizing my centipede lawn, controlling weeds AND controlling bugs. No more dragging the hose around with a sprayer with liquid fertilizer, then again with pest control... now just load the spreader and off I go! All that is required is getting some water on the product within a day or so. The grass responds quickly, as do the weeds and the pests are kept at bay for some time.

With a southern lawn this is the product to use.
I've been using this product for seven years and the Triple Action Turf Builder has never let me down. Great for warm weather areas and different types of grass. Kept my St. Augustine grass healthy even in hot summer months and killed weeds and fire ant mounds before they got out of hand.
