Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, 3 lb. - Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass

It is expensive for the small quantity..but..grass seed started sprouting in 4 to 5 days

3 weeks the grass was up water twice a day

I de-thatched and aerated my Burmuda yard this spring to seed plant some Tall Fescue. The first picture is the day I planted and used the starter from Scotts. The second picture is 1 month later. I applied the fertilizer TWICE and watered the yard a lot (It’s Fescue). Now I’ve been able to back off the watering to a couple of times per week. Yes, it worked for me and I would recommend, but I would also recommend that you apply more than ones- probably space it out by a couple of weeks.

I spent the past week filling in low spots and leveling the back yard with 5 yards of topsoil. It was a lot of work hauling the dirt up 5 steps but a motorized wheelbarrow was expensive but a great help. After all that effort and expense I chose a quality Pennington grass seed and Scotts Starter Fertilizer. A combination that has worked well for me in the past.

Very good product! Significantly improved the growth of new seed after concrete work required new grass seeding adjacent to the completed project. Grass grew very quickly and filled in fast. Seeds began sprouting within a week and area is greening up nicely as well even with very high temperatures and humidity. Be certain to follow all instructions and keep seeded area moist for best results…
