This doesn’t work. I put it on over two weeks ago exactly how packages instructed. I used a Scott’s spreader too. Not one weed killed!

I broadcast this using the recommended rate of application at the time of seeding (June) a buffalograss & blue grama lawn conversion project in southeast Wyoming. It seemed to effectively control the broadleaf weeds for about 2-3 weeks, until after the grass seed germination. I had a little left over from the first treatment, so I applied the remainder at a reduced rate (~1/2 the recommended rate) after six weeks. It caused about 10% of the buffalograss and blue grama seedlings to whiten and appear stressed. This may not be a suitable product to use as a post-emergent treatment for these species.

I’ve been using Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built for Seeding on my new lawn, and I’m really impressed with how well it works. This product is a game-changer for anyone trying to establish a healthy, beautiful lawn from scratch. It combines three important functions into one seed, weed prevention, and fertilization, which is incredibly convenient.The application process was super easy. I used a spreader to cover my lawn, and it went down evenly with no issues. After a couple of weeks, I started to notice new grass growing in the bare spots, and the weeds that had been creeping in were effectively kept at bay. It’s great not having to worry about multiple products or treatments; this one does it all in one go.I’ve noticed that the grass is not only growing well but also looking greener and healthier. The fertilizer in the product gives it a solid boost, promoting strong root development and helping the grass thrive. This is especially important for new lawns, and I can already see the difference.As for the size, the 17.2 lbs bag covered the recommended 4,000 sq. ft., which was perfect for my yard. It’s worth noting that you do need to water the lawn after applying this, and I’ve been consistent with that to get the best results. The product didn’t cause any burn spots, which can sometimes happen with fertilizers, so that’s a relief.The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s important to apply it at the right time of year, preferably in the early spring or fall, so you get the most out of the weed prevention aspect. I’ve used other fertilizers before, but this one seems to be more comprehensive and effective in promoting new growth and keeping weeds away.Overall, I’d highly recommend this product if you’re working on a new lawn or even just want to improve your existing one. It saves time and effort by combining three essential lawn care tasks into one step, and the results speak for themselves.

First picture is day one (11-1-2024) when I planted grass seeds and put down the fertilizer built for seeds.All dirt, no growth as you can see.Second picture is about 5-6 days later. The grass is starting to sprout.Third picture is today (11-9-24) only 8 days after planting the seeds and the grass is growing very well.I would say 80% of the growth is from the fertilizer.Another 10% of growth is from putting seed cover (top soil) on top of the seeds to: 1. keep the birds from eating the seeds; 2. helps the seeds grow a little faster; 3. helps the soil maintain moisture.The last 10% of growth is from watering the grass (3) times per day. The seeds need to be maintained in moisture for as long as possible so they can sprout.I planted the same seeds in my front yard, but I didn't use the fertilizer made for seeds, and I think it took a while longer to grow.I will definitely buy more of the Scotts triple action built for seeds fertilizer whenever I need to start another grass project from scratch.I'm very happy with the results.One thing: don't put down too much fertilizer or it will burn the grass. I went back and put down more fertilizer where I thought it needed more, and in those spots the grass is turning white instead of green. It's still growing, but not as fast as in the other areas.Great product!!!

As the title states, this is the only starter fertilizer I will use. For the price, it is unbeatable in my opinion. Whether overseeding or doing a full lawn renovation, the mesotrione (weed preventer) in this is very effective. Depending on your grass type, this will give you a nice, thick, luscious lawn. The nitrogen in here gives it a strong growth rate. If overseeding, you can even pair this with an iron supplement to give you a darker green color too. Unbeatable starter fertilizer

My backyard was mostly weeds. After killing all weeds in my lawn, I waited 4 weeks to begin my lawn renovation. I mowed low, core aerated, spread topsoil and compost, spread grass seed, applied this Scott's Triple Action Starter Fertilizer, covered with peat moss, then began a watering schedule.I can't rave enough! My grass seed grew quickly, and no weeds germinated throughout the growing process. After three mows, my lawn is thick, green, and healthly.I recommend treating weeds with another herbicide product before applying this Scott's Triple Action, as the Mesotione in it acts more as a weed pre emergent and not an herbicide.This is my new favorite lawn seeding product, and it definitely outweighs other starter fertilizers due to it containing Mesotrione. I'd recommend it to anyone renovating their lawn.
