    Q
    My coverage for a 5000 bag was less than 3000 sq ft. with Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed and Feed 2
    I used the Scotts Bonus product Weed and Feed 5000 sq. ft. bag and couldn't finish my 3000 sq. ft, of property. I used a Scotts Rotary spreader set a 5.25 setting. Is this typical? Thank you.
    A

    According the product label, the spreader setting for a Scotts Broadcast/Rotary Spreader would be 4 1/4. If applied at the 5.25 setting, this would put out more product than recommended per 1000 sq ft and would cause the application coverage to fall short.  
     
    The 4 1/4 setting will apply apply 3.45lbs of Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed and Feed 2 per 1000 sq ft. rate

  • Asked by Ricky from Savannah Ga
    04/10/2024
    Q
    Its going to rain in less than 8 hrs, can the watering in process wait that long after using Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern?
    A

    Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed and Feed 2 is a granule which must be watered in immediately after application, either through irrigation or rainfall. If you are expecting very heavy rainfall, then it is usually best to wait until after rain so that you have better control of the irrigation of the product. With very heavy rain right after the granules are put down, you may get some movement of the active ingredient which can create uneven or sporadic weed control.
