Scotts 4M Turf Builder Weed & Feed

Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 5 assists homeowners in making weedy patchy lawns look beautiful. It works two jobs, it kills a lot of the broadleaf weeds, and it feeds the grass; thus it grows thicker and healthier. The product can kill both easily noticeable weeds as well as those that are more challenging to locate with its WeedGrip™ Technology, which provides full coverage of the lawn.

Dual-Action Formula

In addition to its weed fighting power, the formula also works as a fertilizer. Applied directly to turfgrass, it helps build root systems, grow thick, lush green foliage and strengthen the lawn’s protective surface. This density inherently suppresses future weed growth by eliminating undesirable plants.

• Enriches soil and turfgrass
• Encourages thicker, healthier lawns
• Delivers long-lasting control of future emerging weeds

Tips for Best Results

Adhering to best practices allows us to get the most out of each application.

1. Plan the timing: To get the best out of the product, use it in spring or fall, when the weeds are actively growing and the temperature is in the recommended range.
2. Prepare the lawn: Mow the grass ahead of time to a medium height, just a bit taller than normal, to allow granules to settle on leaves and achieve weed targets.
3. Use correct spreader settings: The spreader should be calibrated according to the label instructions to avoid under or over application for an even application.
4. Avoid watering for 24 hours: Withhold watering the lawn after the application so particles stick to weeds and have a chance to absorb before rain or irrigation.
5. Practice safety: Control access to the treated area, and prevent children and pets from being on the grass until the product has penetrated the soil completely.
6. Repeat responsibly: Apply sparingly, and do so no more than twice a year several months apart, if you want to maintain vigorous growth without stressing the lawn.
