3 of 5 stars
By Wayne in MARGATE FLORIDA 33063 on 02/21/2022

I just put the product down today Was very confused as to what setting I should have set my Scott's Turf Builder Spreader at. So I varied it as I saw it I will let you know in several months.

The Ideal Herbicide for my St. Augustine Lawn

Initial TurfBox application for 2022. Arrived quickly. Easy application using my Scott's Speedy Green broadcast spreader set to 5. The only drawback is that there are no recommended spreader settings…

Still waiting for any results
1 of 5 stars
By Tone in Brandon, MS on 04/24/2022

I'm into my first 18 months or so of using this as part of the yearly maintenance subscription. I easily have more weeds now than when I started.

We are sorry to hear your results were not as expected. Timing is always key with pre-emergent applications. If you have weeds that are actively growing we would also recommend using a post-emergent product to kill the existing weeds. Once they are under control, the pre-emergent can stop new weeds from emerging. Please let us know if you need assistance choosing a post-emergent. We are always happy to help!

By Duane in North Haledon, NJ on 04/15/2022

Purchased as part of an annual program to control weeds and fungus. This pre-emergent didn't quite prevent weed growth the way I expected. Still quite a lot of weed activity - let's see how the crab …

We do know it is frustrating that spreader settings are not given by the manufacturer. We do have a great video explaining how to calibrate your spreader and we have linked it below. We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the granules clogging your spreader as well. We are giving this feedback to the manufacturer as this is not an issue we have had reported in the past. https://www.domyown.com/how-to-use-spreader-correct-lawn-spreader-settings-v-332.html

Did not control weeds
1 of 5 stars
By Cristina in El Paso, TX on 04/30/2023

Applied early while grass was still dormant. Grass is now green but now I have more weeds than before I started using this product. Throwing it away.

Expert Response  Expert response:

Timing is always key when using pre-emergent herbicides. The general rule for spring is to apply your pre-emergent herbicide treatment after the ground has thawed from the winter but before the temperature of your soil reaches 55 degrees, as that is when crabgrass begins to germinate. Other weeds will germinate when the soil temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees. You can use a soil thermometer to determine the temperature of your lawn/area. You will want to measure the temperature of the soil a few inches below ground. You may also contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region or search online for best time to apply in your area. A lot of universities have great articles for this. http://npic.orst.edu/pest/countyext.htm
