This review is from: Scotts 24984 15-Pound Turf Builder with PLUS 2 Weed Control (Lawn & Patio)

I am very familiar with Scott's products as my father used them on our lawn when I was about 5 years old. I remember our lawn being the best in the neighborhood. I too, now that I have my own home, use the full line of Scott's fertilizers and start with the Turf Builder with HALTS in early March. I then apply this product 6 to 8 weeks after applying the TurfBuilder with HALTS. It is now the end of April and I have a few more weeks to go before I will be ready to apply the Turf Builder with PLUS 2 Weed Control, but my lawn looks the best in the neighborhood already, with 1 dandelion on a 3/4 acre lot. I don't know how it got there, but I had to pluck it out of the lawn the other day. I will say that this product says apply to a wet lawn and you MUST do that. Since May can be a hot month where I leave, it is important to water your grass regularly and don't go more than a few days after the application without watering and you better not spill any on your grass because this is a chemical and you need to take precautions (Never fill your spreader on your grass, always use the sidewalk or the driveway). Read the label carefully and if you follow the directions you will have a beautiful lawn. I follow the 4 cycle plan and have never been dissatisfied.

I've used Turf Builder Plus 2 every summer the past 6 years and only had a slight lawn burn once the very first year. The general rule of thumb is to lightly water the grass immediately before you apply it so the fertilizer particles stick to the weeds and kill them. Afterward, make sure the lawn gets a thorough watering no more than 2-3 days later unless it gets a good soaking from heavy rainfall in the meantime. My lawn is usually weed-free within a week's time after applying the product--it eliminates hours of back-breaking weed pulling!

I dont know what that guy is talking about but I've been using the Turf Builder line of products for years, and have had no issues - only a beautiful lawn of Kentucky Bluegrass with immediately killed dandelions.
