About This Product

It's simple: treat weeds and feed your lawn with Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed & Feed3 in the fall for a better lawn next spring. This weed killer plus lawn fertilizer controls over 50 listed lawn weeds, including clover, dandelion, plantain, morningglory, chicory, evening primrose, and purslane. In addition, it delivers the nutrients needed to help repair damage from the summertime and build strong roots to take on harsh winter conditions. Apply Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed & Feed3 on a calm day when weeds are actively growing and temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 90°F. Make sure your grass is wet from dew or sprinkling, as this helps particles adhere to weed leaves to produce the best results. We recommend using a Scotts spreader to apply this product. For Scotts broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 3 ¼. For Scotts drop spreaders, use a setting of 6. Do not water your lawn for 24 hours after application or apply if rain is expected within the next 24 hours. Do not apply to St. Augustinegrass, Floratam, Dichondra, Lippia, Carpetgrass, or Bentgrass. One 42.87 lb. bag of Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed & Feed3 covers 15,000 sq. ft.

        Answer This Question

        Thank you for your question. Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Weed & Feed has lawn food and weed control. The Winterguard in the red bag is just lawn food.

          Can you overseed at the same time winterguard weed and feed is applied
          BySep 15, 2024
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          I am happy to answer your question. For Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Weed & Feed, If you apply the product first, you must wait at least 4 weeks before you can seed. If you seed first, you need to wait until the new grass has grown in enough to have been mowed at least 4 times and become established before using Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Weed & Feed. Reach out if we can help more.

            What happen if I apply Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed & Feed 3 in January for zone 7a?
            ByJan 8, 2023
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Lawn Fertilizer with Plus 2 Weed Control should not be used on dormant grass. The lawn is considered dormant when it starts turning brown as a result of cool weather. It is generally, a good rule of thumb to stop feeding 3 to 4 weeks before the first heavy frost.

                Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed and Feed Weed Killer is safe to use under the dripline of trees in the lawn, but should not be applied to foliage or exposed roots.

                  What Customers Say
                  Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                  Customers say that Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed & Feed is easy to apply and often leads to a greener lawn in the spring. Many users appreciate its dual function of fertilizing while controlling weeds, although some have noted that it may not effectively eliminate all types of weeds, particularly clover and dandelions. While the product generally performs well, there are concerns about occasional burning of the grass and the recent reduction in bag sizes at higher prices. Overall, it remains a popular choice for maintaining lawn health during the fall and winter months.

                  Ive used Scott's fertilizer for years. I'm in ohio and now we are October using a clumped up fertilizer? This happened to me last year as well but last year I just thought I bought a bad bag. So here we are again same issue alongside of the fertilizer feeding my weeds to grow not my grass. Clumps!?

                    Do not waste your money on this product
                    I bought this product about 3-4 weeks ago. I put it on my lawn, exactly as directions stated. It did not kill any weeds. Matter of fact-the weeds are looking healthier! I have used Scott’s products for many years. I am disappointed. This is a waste of my hard earned money.

                    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Weed & Feed and appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback. Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Weed & Feed must stick to weed leaves to be effective. Product should be left undisturbed and not watered for 24 hours after application. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 90 degrees. When temperatures are high (over 90°+) weeds slow their growth down and can not absorb the product. If weeds are not getting regular watering, they can not absorb product. Weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after an application of a weed control. The active ingredients trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes weeds listed on the label to die. You notice the weeds begin to curl and yellow a few days after application due to this excessive growth. Weeds will die within 2 to 4-week period, depending on temperature conditions. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

                        Read the fine print before applying
                        I bought this to use on my lawn, unfortunately they put what types of grass not to use it on in very small writing on the back after the directions. Hoping I didn’t just kill my entire lawn. The warnings should come first or labeled on front for types of lawns.

                          Directions on bag and product details on web do no
                          How is it that in the text description for using a spreader it says to use setting 6 but on the picture of the bag's actual direction it says to use a setting of 7 1/4. So which is it? Does anyone proof read your publications? Not good. Show me where I am mistaken and I will retract. The option to add photos at the bottom of this page is not working.

                            Any moisture that gets in the product will make the granules lump together. When it dries out, it forms hard clumps. If the product is stored in high heat or humidity or gets rained on, this can happen. Another possible cause is the product being stored on a concrete or cement floor or leaning against a wall made of either material. Concrete/cement draws moisture and can increase the chance of moisture getting in the bag. When purchasing the product in person, be sure to inspect the bags for signs of rips or other damage.

                              Satisfied but clumpy
                              I have been using Scott’s products for 20 years and always have pretty good luck. Something seems to have changed however as I get far more clumping in the bags. I just got done fertilizing a very large lawn and used 3 bags, two of them had significant clumping which I had to break-up with a hand trowel. A little inconvenient and definitely a quality issue. I also have a suggestion. With the weed and feed products, I wish the Scott’s spreaders had solid wheels that don’t have openings on the interior of the spreader. When applying on a damp lawn, they product gathers and clumps in the wheels then falls into the lawn in clumps creating burned areas. While small, it is frustrating and would be solved with a solid wheel.

                                I bought a bag of Scotts Weed and Feed today and opened it and was just a big wet gob of mush. It won't spread out of my spreader even on the highest setting. Not to mention, stuff leaked out of the bag all over the upholstery in my car and all over my clothes. Sure hope it comes out. I will never buy Scotts again.
