Review: Greened up & Thickened My Lawn In No Time! - Purchased this to use on my lawn in Northwest Mississippi. Directions were easy to follow and I applied the fertilizer with my Scott’s spreader. Application as easy and straightforward. I followed the directions and I noticed my grass greening up and growing like crazy around week 2-3 after application. I am very pleased with the product and normally use all Scott’s products on my lawn. They’re a trusted brand and name IMO, so I feel comfortable using their products and know they will work.

I hand throw mine, but I have had years of experience and do it well. I'd say, for you, buy a spreader. **Q: How often to use this?** A: It's seasonal use and will state on the back of the bag directions for use. **Q: Why does scotts turfbuildedr seem to hide the fertilizer grade (%n, p2o5 and k2o) on the turfbuilder products? the first thing one needs to know.** A: Well, I'm not sure. I had not noticed it. I am a firm believer in Scotts products . I have seen the transformation of my yard from weed forest when we bought our home to luxury lawn. So I use them every year. I do go to the manufacturer site each year to assure I am using the right products at the right time. They may provide the information you want. I then go to Amazon to buy the product. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greened up & Thickened My Lawn In No Time! *by M***! on September 10, 2026* Purchased this to use on my lawn in Northwest Mississippi.
