So Easy to Use - I am by no means a landscaper or a professional, I’m just a single mom of 3 girls trying to make my yard presentable. I moved into a project home 5 years ago now and have been redoing the inside and out, with more of a focus on the interior. The first year I had the front of my home completely dug up and replanted (including several trees cut down) because the previous owner had created a jungle of trees, bushes, plants, and walkways that lead to nowhere. Needless to say it was the ugliest house I want to say on the street but might go as far as saying the whole city because it had not been maintained for several years and was a nightmare, but I knew the property had a lot of potential so I took on the project. After the landscapers replanted the grass seed they were done and I was on my own to try and figure out how the upkeep. Well I watered the grass (occasionally), to what I thought was sufficient and ended up with patches of grass and weed growth everywhere. The next year I put down grass seed in the spring along with weed and feed (not realizing I was doing nothing since the weed and feed was not allowing the seed to germinate, and ended up with more weeds and moss growth. I planted some grass seed in the summer and again watered to my liking (which was not enough) and watched the grass die. I again waited until the spring and threw down some grass seed and ace fertilizer and my summer was a nightmare for weeks because I put down so much fertilizer that my grass was overgrowing in 3 days and still full of weeds and moss. After that nightmare I decided I needed to research because I accepted I really had no idea what I was doing and had spent way too much money experimenting. Then I came across reviews of Scott’s and learned about aeration, and how you can’t use weed and feed at the same time as grass seed, and that I needed a seeder and to fertilize at a set rate. Oh yeah and I decided to seed in the fall! I seeded and winterized my yard for the first time. Then when spring came along I overseeded again and used the Scott’s starter fertilizer along with aerating and using a grub control. The back of the package told me exactly what setting on the spreader to use which was so easy to switch on the spreader. I watered the grass daily sometimes twice a day for 5-10 mins, moving the sprinkler and making sure that all of the grass seed remained moist, then once sprouting I started to water for longer periods. I included what my yard looked like prior to laying down the fertilizer and how it looked approximately 3 weeks later! I still have a long way to go and will still end up with weeds as I didn’t get to weed and feed for the crab grass and clover leafs, but am def going to use Scott’s products for that next spring. This was more expensive than more generic versions of the same thing, but I will only use this brand as the reviews speak for themselves. If it can make my grass grow then I’m sure anyone can grow grass. I’m very happy and highly recommend. ## Features - Grows new grass 70% thicker, 35% quicker versus unfed grass - Improves seeding results--also great for sod and grass plugs - 24-25-4 fertilizer ratio provides the nutrients for developing lawns - Safe for any grass type, whether you're planting new grass, starting a new lawn, or reseeding an existing one - Covers 5,000 sq. ft. - Not for sale in Pinellas County, FL ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DK49DVA | | Application Method | spreader | | Brand | Scotts | | Brand Name | Scotts | | Coverage | 5000 square feet | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,735 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00032247216050 | | Included Components | New Grass | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass, Also Great for Sod and Grass Plugs - Covers 5,000 sq. ft. | | Item Weight | 15 Pounds | | Item form | Powder | | Item weight | 15 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 473 Milliliters | | Liquid volume | 473 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | ScotchBlue | | Mixing Ratio | 24-25-4 | | Model Number | 21605 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | Scotts - 21605 #2 | | Specific Uses For Product | New Grass, Lawn Establishment | | Specific uses for product | New Grass, Lawn Establishment | | Target Species | Lawn Grass | | UPC | 032247216050 | | Unit Count | 240 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Scotts - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 0.5 Pounds - **Liquid volume:** 473 Milliliters - **Specific uses for product:** New Grass, Lawn Establishment ## Images ![Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, 15 lb. - Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass, Also Great for Sod and Grass Plugs - Covers 5,000 sq. ft. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oY9zpw+qL.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, 15 lb. - Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass, Also Great for Sod and Grass Plugs - Covers 5,000 sq. ft. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cuhYaAfGL.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, 15 lb. - Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass, Also Great for Sod and Grass Plugs - Covers 5,000 sq. ft. - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XBS8P+yLL.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, 15 lb. - Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass, Also Great for Sod and Grass Plugs - Covers 5,000 sq. ft. - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qg4ZsqHbL.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, 15 lb. - Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass, Also Great for Sod and Grass Plugs - Covers 5,000 sq. ft. - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1yW5DXctaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it assist new grass seed growth if i mix this turf builder lawn food in with the seed, then spread mixture?** A: Till the ground. Spread fertilizer. Rake dirt. Spread seed. Rake dirt again. Water every day until the grass is established. If spreading dirt: put down fertilizer, spread dirt, spread seed. Rake dirt. Water every day until grass is established. **Q: can i fertilize new sod in hot weather with this?** A: Yes, but I water it down good immediately after putting down the fertilizer. It will burn the grass if you don't water it good and immediately. I put mine down about 7:00 p.m. so the water doesn't evaporate so fast. **Q: My husband did not prepare soil correctly when he was patching 2 holes so the grass seed we planted is not doing well. Will this help?** A: I recommend getting a husband that knows what the heck he is doing...that will help! **Q: Will this tend to stimulate weed growth initially too? Our weeds seem worse. No rototilling was done before seeding with our grass seed.** A: No, Scotts Turf Builder won't cause weeds. If you didn't do any rototilling first, that is your problem. I don't have weeds in mine because of rototilling first, and then putting down sod. The grass is really coming on now. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by S***D on 13 June 2017* Excellent product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend!
