It contains a combination of nutrients to help your new lawn grow strong roots and to grow in thicker and faster than if not fed at all.

Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass is safe to use on any grass type. It can be applied immediately before or after planting grass. We recommend using a Scotts spreader to apply this product. For Scotts broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 3 1/4. For Scotts drop spreaders, use a setting of 6. Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall. One 3 lb. bag of Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass covers 1,000 sq. ft.

Review: This stuff works great on new grass seed and existing lawns. - This stuff works. Fast. I've been using this on both new grass seed and on existing lawns. For my existing lawns, applying the product in the early spring (I'm in NY, so early May) makes my lawn much greener and faster-growing then my neighbors. I've learned (the hard way) to apply nitrogen in the spring and the fall but not the peak summer months otherwise you'll burn the grass. In terms of application, I like to put it down before a forecasted lite rain.
Review: Great - This is what you need. Tried other seeds and they don’t work. Great germination, thickness in a few days you can see it work. Very easy to use

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it assist new grass seed growth if i mix this turf builder lawn food in with the seed, then spread mixture?**
A: Till the ground. Spread fertilizer. Rake dirt. Spread seed. Rake dirt again. Water every day until the grass is established.
If spreading dirt: put down fertilizer, spread dirt, spread seed. Rake dirt. Water every day until grass is established.

**Q: can i fertilize new sod in hot weather with this?**
A: Yes, but I water it down good immediately after putting down the fertilizer.  It will burn the grass if you don't water it good and immediately.  I put mine down about 7:00 p.m. so the water doesn't evaporate so fast.

**Q: My husband did not prepare soil correctly when he was patching 2 holes so the grass seed we planted is not doing well. Will this help?**
A: I recommend getting a husband that knows what the heck he is doing...that will help!

**Q: Will this tend to stimulate weed growth initially too? Our weeds seem worse. No rototilling was done before seeding with our grass seed.**
A: No, Scotts Turf Builder won't cause weeds.  If you didn't do any rototilling first, that is your problem.  I don't have weeds in mine because of rototilling first, and then putting down sod.  The grass is really coming on now.
