Scotts 49021 Turf Builder Lawn Fertilizer

Product Information

It is important to note that the exact timing of when to apply Scotts Turf Builder will depend on your specific location and climate.

It’s important to follow the instructions on the Scotts Turf Builder packaging to ensure that you’re applying the correct amount of fertilizer and at the right time. This is something that can sometimes be disappointing with other products when they leave traces on the lawn. Able to tackle many different weeds, including some dandelions, this Vitax Green Up Liquid encourages grass growth whilst removing unwanted vegetation. The best time to apply Scotts Turf Builder to warm-season grasses is in the late spring, between April and June, when temperatures are warm and the grass is actively growing. Another important factor to consider when deciding when to apply Scotts Turf Builder is the type of grass you have.

Schedule lawn feedings by creating reminders on your phone or calendar, or make it all easy by downloading the Scotts® My Lawn app, which gives customized recommendations on how and when to care for your lawn. Spring and late summer are considered the best time for applying Scotts Turf Builder in milder climates since it will protect your lawn all season long. However, lawn feed alone can be applied more often: up to every two weeks during the growing season unless the weather is very hot and dry. This quality blend of Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Ryegrass, and Fine Fescue thrives in sunny and shady areas and quickly repairs bare spots on your lawn. This is a sizeable area; however, it’s less than can be covered by the Water Soluble Lawn Feed by Miracle-Gro (also featured on this list).

This EverGreen Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Food has four primary functions; it kills moss, eradicates weeds, creates a thicker lawn and boosts the amount of nutrients that the grass can retain. Different types of grass have different growth patterns and nutrient requirements, so it’s important to choose the right fertilizer and apply it at the right time. Scotts Lawn Builder Slow Release Lawn Fertilisers use patented time-release technology to deliver the right balance of nutrients for superior results that last three months.Scotts® Turf Builder® Southern Lawn Food protects your southern lawn from heat and drought for up to 3 months. If using a drop spreader, while walking at a steady pace align the arrow on the spreader with the previous wheel track. Make sure to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to check what conditions your lawn feed should be applied in. If, during application, the product lands on sidewalks, driveways, streets, or other hardscaped areas, sweep it into the yard to avoid runoff. If there is no rain within 24 hours of applying product it will need to be thoroughly watered in by hand.

Lawn grass can suffer substantially during the winter months, so it’s worth employing the advice of the well-known saying – the best form of defence is a good offense. For example, the Miracle-Gro Water Soluble Lawn Food will cover up to 400 m², whilst the Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed will cover 200 m², and the EverGreen Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Food 100 m². The key difference is thatfertilizers are used to provide soil with extra nutrients not easily available elsewhere. If the garden is particularly suffering under the onslaught of weeds and moss, these granules may not have the power of some other products to really kill them off; however, by improving the general health of the lawn, future weeds and moss will be deterred from growing. All Scotts®Turf Builder® products feed for up to 2 months and should be applied in a staggered fashion.The NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio is 6-9-6, and the high phosphorus content is what helps this product better promote the health of germinating seeds compared to other lawn feeds. Overall, this is one of the best lawn feed products available given its ability to encourage a healthy lawn in more ways than one. In the South, feed your lawn in early spring with Scotts® Turf Builder® Southern Triple Action to masterfully handle the three big needs of Southern lawns: It prevents and kills fire ants for up to 6 months, kills stubborn weeds like dollarweed and clover, and nourishes and strengthens your lawn to protect it from heat and drought.

Unlike cheaper granular lawn feeds, this fertiliser comes in a homogeneous granular formulation – all the required nutrients are contained, and balanced, within each individual granule. Scotts Lawn Builder Custom Seeds is a unique blend, making it easier to choose your desired lawn - Tough, Awesome or Relaxed. With an easy refillable hose-on spray bottle, you are equipped to control clovers, bindiis and broadleaf weeds at a simple push of a nozzle. If you have warm-season grass, the best time to apply Scotts Turf Builder is during the late spring and summer months.For example, in the fall, you should fertilize your lawn once between August and November, right before winter hits, 6 to 8 weeks after the summer feeding. Grab a lawn rake to rake out dead grass and dead remnants of annual grassy weeds, like crabgrass, goosegrass, and barnyard grass. One thing to be aware of: the granules do stay on the ground for several weeks after application without dissolving. If your grass needs a boost, but there are no other problems with your lawn (like moss or weeds), then you can choose a basic fertiliser. One of the most important things to consider is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) in the lawn feed.
