    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
    Can I do a second late spring application with Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3?
    Applied about 3 or 4 weeks ago but didn't see much difference in clover reduction can I do a second application
    A

    Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 does state on the product label it can be reapplied after 30 days if needed.

    Clover is best treated when it just emerges and using a liquid post herbicide will always give you better results than a granule that can just fall off the leaves and not contact weeds as well.  Clover is also impossible to eliminate one it flowers.

    Q
    Will Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 recognise Diamondia as a grass or a weed?
    I have a patio of irregular flagstones with the ground cover called diamondia filling the cracks. It is very beautiful but it is being invaded with dandelions and some thistles. If I put STB on the diamondia will it see it as a grass (and therefore leave it alone) or as a weed (since it is not a regular grass).
    A

    Diamondia is a form of groundcover and Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 is only for use on turfgrass.  It could injure the groundcover and would be best to avoid any applications to the area and keep a few feet away when applying.  It would be best to handpull weeds from the path area where the Diamonida is growing.

  • Asked by Raj from Eden Prairie, Mn
    05/07/2021
    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.
