              A:  While regular lawn fertilizer like Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Fertilizer will not inhibit seed germination, and therefore can technically be applied anytime before or after seeding/sodding the lawn, it also does not help it.

                Answer This Question

                A:  We always water well for a day or two after application. We have an area we leave untouched for the dog to go. After about two days, then we allow the dog to go wherever. This is a procedure when we apply anything to the lawn.

                by|Apr 29, 2022

                  A:  Pets such as cats and dogs may reenter immediately after application. While not necessary, as an additional precaution, water application area and allow it to dry before reentering.

                        A:  This product does not need to be mixed with anything. Just follow the directions on the bag. I guess you could mix it with compost if you wanted.

                        by|Mar 12, 2022

                          A:  Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Fertilizer is formulated to feed all grass types. Apply to your lawn with a spreader set on the rate listed on the bag. THis product should not be mixed with anything when applying.

                            A:  I just spread around my yard. I do use it 3 times per season.

                            by|Sep 18, 2022

                              A:  Turf Builder does NOT have to be combined with compost at all to feed your lawn. It has the proper balance of all the nutrients a lawn needs. It always does a great job on my lawn. But thinly top dressing a lawn in early spring with compost is always great, especially after aerating It.

                                    A:  Boss61, if you have a cool season grass, you can apply a straight lawn food up until the ground is frozen. If you have a warm season grass, you should make sure there is at least 6 weeks before the lawn typically goes dormant.
