    Q
    I planted my lawn using Scott’s Smart Seed. How long should I wait before I can apply Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3?
    A

    If Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 is applied before seed you will need to wait at least one month to seed, sod or plant grass sprigs. If Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 is applied after seeding you would need to delay application to newly seeded sodded or sprigged areas until the new grass has been mowed four times.

    Q
    How long after applying Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 should I wait before putting lime on my yard?
    A

    When applying lime to the yard its usually done a week or two before applying a fertilizer, since the purpose of the lime is to improve soil composition and raise the pH to a level that allows the grass to uptake the nutrients better. You can still do the lime after using your Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3, and there isn't a set amount of time you would have to wait to put it down.

    Q
    Are the remaining white granules fertilizer or pesticide?
    I waited 48 hours after application to water. I have sprinkled the hard on high for 30 minutes. There are still white granules on the ground that did not dissolve. Is this fertilizer of pesticide? I want to know the lawn is safe for my dog. I don't' want her getting granules on her paws and then licking them.
    A
    Greetings! Occasionally, the clay that is the carrier of the product does not always break down, but the active ingredient washes off of the granule and goes into the ground. I hope this helps!

    Q
    I applied Scott’s Weed and Feed a day after it rained and the grass wasn’t very wet. Should I reapply?
    Particles didn’t stick very well to the weeds. Will it still be effective when it’s watered in?

    Q
    How many times max per year/season can I treat with both Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 and Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed and Feed 3 if applied separately during late spring/summer & then again in fall to late fall?
    I see that Weed and Feed 3 can only be applied twice per year on the Scott’s website but the WinterGuard Fall Weed and Feed DOES NOT have the max 2 times per year on the Scott’s website.
    A

    With Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 and Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed and Feed 3 both having a max application of 2 times per year with 30 days between applications, we would suggest dividing the 4 applications up quarterly. You may contact Scotts directly at 888-270-3714 for more information.
