I use a hand spreader, and apply it more often than it suggests. I am a firm believer that if I keep my grass thick and healthy, the weeds will leave it alone. Scott’s helps me do just that. And it seems to work. And my lawns seems to love this product and it react quickly. Very, very effective. Greens up fast and the appearance is beautiful and healthy. I get lots of compliments on my lawns and gardens…even though they are small, Plus, the bag is a thick plastic and rarely do I have any leaks or holes. Great product, great price, great value for what it does. Very, very happy customer and highly recommend. Review: Great product. - It definitely helps to keep grass green and expand. I've seen less and less patches slowly but surely. Also there's a lot of it in the bag and it lasts quite a lot. Easy to use with a spreader. There was so much growth that it was hard to cut the grass😅 ## Features - WHERE TO USE: Lawn fertilizer for grass can be used on any grass type - GRASS FERTILIZER FOR LAWNS: Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food feeds and strengthens your grass to help protect against future problems - STRONG ROOTS: Our pesticide-free lawn food for grass builds strong, deep roots, improving your lawn's ability to absorb water and nutrients (vs unfed lawn) - HOW TO APPLY: Apply to a wet or dry lawn in spring, summer, or fall ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005W1QXQW | | Best Sellers Rank | #634 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #35 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | Scotts | | Brand Name | Scotts | | Coverage | lawns and turf grasses (5,000 sq. ft.) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 8,021 Reviews | | Included Components | Lawn Food | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | Lawn Food | | Item Weight | 12.5 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 1 Picoliters | | Manufacturer | The Scotts Company LLC | | Mixing Ratio | 32:0:4 | | Model Number | 22305 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | Scotts - 22305 | | Specific Uses For Product | Lawn | | Target Species | grass | | UPC | 032247223058 | | Unit Count | 200.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Scotts - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 12.5 Pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 1 Picoliters - **Specific Uses For Product:** Lawn ## Images ![Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food, 12.5 lbs. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717yQf8OMaL.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food, 12.5 lbs. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811f2eY0sUL.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food, 12.5 lbs. - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71REIDG8B8L.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food, 12.5 lbs. - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kTZZhPy7L.jpg) ![Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food, 12.5 lbs. - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HkP+H7mrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the N-P-K ratio printed on the 15,000 sq ft bag?** A: Prominently featured will be the N-P-K ratio, the percentage the product contains by volume of nitrogen (chemical symbol N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K).
