The Grass Doctor

Has anybody had any luck with Scotts Plus 2 fertilizer??

I put this down last summer and followed all of the specific instructions and I really did not see much results. they say it has 24D in there, but I did not see much results. Maybe it is just a light version of it. It turned a few broadleaf weeds slightly brown, but not much more than that. MAYBE THE LIQUID VERSION OF 24D AND MSMA IS MUCH BETTER? WHAT DO YOU THINK? I LIVE IN TENNESSEE AND IT HAS BEEN 80+ DEGREES THE PAST TWO WEEKS. ZONE 6B.

1. Not knowing what variety grass you have I can attest a product called MSMA (found in most Nursery's) Is by far the best for Bermuda type grass. Be sure to follow directions though because too much will definitely burn.
2. It says to not apply when temps in the 80's and water your lawn before application. It worked well 4 me
3. make sure rain isnt in the forcast for3 days after application,then water as instructed.if you have done so perhaps you didnt use enough in said area when spreading it
4. Fertilizer is fertilizer. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, the three numbers on the bag, are all that matters. As for the weed killer side of scotts plus 2, As long as your yard isn't too big, I recomend walking the lawn with a product like weed b gon, and spot spraying. It's much more effective, and you use a tenth of the product. I usually mow my lawn, pop a cold one and grab my spray bottle. Taking 5 or 10 minutes to walk the lawn lets you get all the weeds, and also spot any other problems ( fungus, dry spots, etc.) before they get too bad.
