Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 lawn weed killer and fertilizer, 14.29 lb bag — treats 5,000 sq ft, WeedGrip Technology

Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 is an all-in-one granular treatment that kills common broadleaf weeds while feeding your lawn to promote thicker turf.

If your yard is dotted with dandelions, clover, plantain or other broadleaf weeds, this product combines targeted weed control with fertilizer to help recover bare spots and encourage denser grass. The 14.29 lb bag treats up to 5,000 square feet and uses WeedGrip Technology to make particles cling to weed leaves for better uptake. Follow label directions for timing and spreader settings to maximize results and avoid sensitive grass species.

When is the best time to apply this weed and feed?

Apply when broadleaf weeds are actively growing and daytime temperatures remain between 60°F and 90°F. Moist leaf surfaces from morning dew or light watering help granules stick to weeds and improve effectiveness. Avoid applications if rain is expected within 24 hours and do not water for 24 hours after spreading.

• Ideal: spring or fall when weeds are actively growing
• Grass should be wet with dew or recent irrigation
• Wait 24 hours before watering or mowing
• Do not apply if rain within 24 hours

How do I apply it evenly across my lawn?

Use a broadcast or drop spreader for consistent coverage—Scotts provides recommended spreader settings to simplify application. For best results, apply in a cross-pattern (north-south then east-west) to eliminate streaking and ensure uniform distribution. Calibrate your spreader and follow the label rate for 5,000 sq ft per bag.

• Scotts broadcast/rotary spreader: set to 3 ½
• Scotts drop spreader: set to 5
• Apply in two passes at right angles to avoid missed spots
• Keep granules off sidewalks and driveways to prevent runoff

How does WeedGrip Technology affect performance?

WeedGrip Technology helps the granules adhere to weed leaves so herbicide is absorbed more efficiently, improving kill rates on both visible weeds and those partially hidden. Combined with a feeding formula that supplies nutrients, this approach aims to reduce future weed pressure by encouraging thicker turf. Results vary by weed species, weather and application accuracy.

• Adhesion improves herbicide contact with weed foliage
• Feeds turf to promote density and crowd out weeds over time
• Enhanced control on hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds

Who is this for: Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 is designed for homeowners and lawn-care enthusiasts who want a single treatment to tackle common broadleaf weeds while nourishing their lawn. It’s best for established lawns compatible with the product’s label, for customers comfortable using a spreader and following timing and safety instructions to protect people, pets and sensitive turf types.
