Description
It's simple: treat weeds and feed your lawn with Scotts® Turf Builder® WinterGuard® Fall Weed & Feed5 in the fall for a better lawn next spring. This weed killer plus lawn fertilizer controls over 50 listed lawn weeds, including clover, dandelion, plantain, morningglory, chicory, evening primrose, and purslane.

Simple Way to Success - FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
I live in a newly built home and my lawn was hydro-seeded in the fall of last year. This spring my lawn looked awesome. But suddenly it got very hot and dry. The weeds which had been on this property for a billion years started to take over the lawn. With temps being in excess of 85F, there was no chance to address the weeds as you should never apply chemicals in heat over 85 degrees. By fall this year I was frustrated with the overwhelming amount of weeds and decided to hit it with some weed and feed just to get a jump on next spring. After reading the reviews on the Scotts website I was convinced that this was not going to be the right product. Unfortunately, with the end of the season rapidly approaching, there was very little choice except for the multitude of Scotts products. So I chose this one.
Now, the one constant reply by Scotts on the large number of unsatisfied customers was that the product MUST be applied to a wet lawn. It is important when applying these kinds of products is to READ THE DIRECTIONS. The directions are very clear that this product must be applied to a wet lawn and no rain or watering, after application for at least 2 days (preferably 3). The other important information is NOT to cut the grass prior to applying this product. This product is designed to stick to the leaves of the weeds which will then be absorbed by the weed. If you cut the grass before the application, you have reduced the amount of surface area for the product to stick to. So just prepare yourself for the lawn to look less manicured for a week or so. Your neighbors might be annoyed, but afterwards they will be envious.
I chose a day where the lawn was completely soaked from the morning dew and applied it immediately. I could see the product sticking to the leaves and hoped for the best. In just 2 days I started to see some of the weeds starting to wilt. Even that stubborn clover which was taking over my lawn was wilting. I was fortunate that the weather stayed dry for about a week. Early morning dew did not wash away the application. In fact, I assume the weeds were so thirsty for water, they were drinking up the dew which was activating the product.
I was surprised how well the product worked. But after seeing the results, I realized that it is imperative to follow the direction. Do a little research on line and you will find small hints (like not cutting the grass prior to applying granular products) and you will increase your chances of being successful. These products are not cheap. I have about 18,000 sq. ft. so it costs about $100 to treat my entire lawn. It’s smart to give yourself the best chance of being successful.
I’ll try to attach pictures of before and after but I have had several problems in attaching photos on this site. The pictures are in succession of 9/1/24 (Before application), 10/7/24, & 10/18/24. I applied the product on 10/2/24. There were no addition applications or use of any additional products during this time.

Quality of Scotts products
Disappointed the last few years with the Quality of this product. I have been using Scott's fertilizer & weed & feed for the past 33 years religiously. These last 3 years weeds continue to thrive after applications.

Terrible.
I bought this product last summer to apply for the fall season. I applied in late September as directed. I also applied a second application in early January as directed. My lawn looks terrible! It has never had this many weeds before. It is like the product fed the weeds instead of prevented them. Very disappointed and now I am having to reclaim my yard from the damage. I am happy for the others who have experienced good results. I may have just gotten inferior bags.
