Just purchased a 10 pound bag of Scotts EZ seed on sale over the internet and picked up from a locker outside the Wallkill, New York location. At best the seed germination would be 80% if the seed was used the same year as the seed test date. Big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe's are working with Scotts to extend the seeds life by putting stickers over the original seed test date. This extends the seed life, but seed germination life drops substantially after one year. Most purchasers don't realize that they are paying for seed that shouldn't be on the store shelves. At one time I managed a successful lawn and tree service. We purchased seed by the ton and only purchased seed that had current testing. Buyer beware!
I bought 2 small bags of Scott bermuda seed and one bag of Scott's starter fertilizer. I also bought a few bags of Garden Soil. I raked it in ensuring it was not too much soil, just enough, and watered it 2 X day for a couple weeks at Texas temps near 80. Then I watered it 1 X for a couple weeks. NOT ONE blade of grass has sprouted. Your product is a waste of money--defective.
While others offer better products at lower prices, i have used Scotts for decades. I attempted to use a 15% promo code with an annual package, but the software wouldn't allow it, so I contacted customer service to clarify -only to finally receive a response 4 days later!!! They said that, since the promo expired 4 days later, it was no longer valid!!! After I stated i would quit Scotts after 5 decades of use and trash them on all websites, they responded with an offer to purchase the package at full price and they would return the difference to my card. So I did. Then I received another email saying that after further review, i would have to pay full price!!! So, I attempted to cancel the order, but their own software could not find the order using their own order number!!! Good products, but idiots running their online department! NEVER buy online from them! Im done with Scotts!!!
I just had seven guys with leaf blowers in my back yard. One of them got on my porch and was looking in my window. Then proceeded to blow my mum plants around completely destroying them. Blew my welcome mat and chair around leaving leaves on my chair. Blew a bunch of dust under my door and into my home. Did not put anything back in it's place and left. Highly disrespectful of others property. Do not recommend.
Probably the worst product I have used for my lawn. I purchased the entire 4 step system and applied it per the instructions and within days my entire lawn was ruined and burned. They will counter and say it was misapplied however unused the scott applicator. This stuff is crap go elsewhere
Against my better judgement I purchased the Scotts Halts fertilizer again for crabgrass this year after having poor results over many years. This is the worst i have ever seen my lawn. It is loaded with crabgrass. What a ripoff. It should be taken off the market. NEVER AGAIN. This product seems to feed the weeds, not prevent them. Don't buy. Waste of money.
Corporate thieves and environmental vandals.My Scott’s fertiliser spreader will no longer work as a wheel has fallen off and appears to be unrepairable.The failure has occurred because Scott’s have used untreated very thin mild steel to make the drive mechanism. Scott’s should know that untreated mild steel and very corrosive fertiliser do not work well together.As a loyal fan of Scott’s products for more than 40 years I now realise that Scott’s have joined those corporates who use very poor unsuitable material where it can’t be seen. It makes me wonder what poisonous materials they mix with their garden products!
I bought this product ( Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed₅) to weed and feed my lawn and it is totally garbage. I followed the instructions for the application very carefully ( when to apply it, how to apply it and how to water it ). It did absolutely nothing except that it produced more weeds and the orange pellets are still visible. Avoid at all cost !!!
Scott's Bonus S product killed my beautiful St Augustine lawn in the spring of 2023. The Scott's representative told me that the formula had been changed and failed, resulting in dead lawns in some southern states. She offered repayment of the cost of the product itself and immediately sent me a check for $75. This spring I posted a bad review of their product, warning others that the once healthy and beautiful St Augustine grass covering my yard, died after using their product and that the yard was now nothing but weeds! Upon seeing the bad review, Scott's contacted me, offering me $300 for damages and asked that I sign a confidentiality agreement. I asked for replacement cost of my sod instead. They asked that I secure two sod estimates and provide them with photos. I did so. Upon receiving the requested information, they contacted me again, saying they were prepared to pay only $300 as previously offered, based on the information they received. The photos I provided to them were time-stamped and clearly documented the damage to my lawn caused by their product. The estimates were provided by reputable suppliers of sod and included the cost of the sod itself with no allowance for labor.I refused their $300 offer and was advised that the case would be turned over to their "insurance company", Sedgwick, which as it turns out, is a third party administrator, representing companies such as Target, AT&T and, I think, Walmart.Sedgwick just notified me that the claim was denied and, get this, Scott's has now also denied any admission of fault, stating that there is nothing wrong with the product. This is contradictory to the information that they volunteered to me in our earlier conversations.Has anyone else had similar experiences with Scott's? If so, please begin spreading the word, offering reviews at every given opportunity. People need to know that a company we've looked to for years as the answer to our lawn and gardening needs, can no longer be trusted.
