Was just gifted a bag of Scotts Turf Builder for our lawn. We have weeds and enough dandelions for an army.
Is this Scotts stuff good enough and the right choice for lawn care or would be just the grass mulchings be enough to get the job done?
How environmentally safe is this turf builder?
Is this Scotts stuff good enough
Nope

I’ve never heard of grass mulching killing dandelions. Plus, I believe turf builder is more fertilizer than weed killer. The bag that is a Spring specific says it “Thickens lawns to help crowd out weeds.”
Shouldn’t the staff take care of stuff like that?
Fertilizer will not kill weeds, get some roundup weed killer and kill kill kill…
Unless it is Scott’s Weed and Feed, it won’t do anything for the dandelions.
why do people feed the lawn?. the last thing i want is the grass to grow faster; all it does is create more work mowing it. Don’t fall into the trap unless you want to give up your weekends. use one of those spray things that kills the weeds but not the grass, and stay away from anything else

If you want environmentally safe, try and get a bag or two of Milorganite. I used it for the first time this spring and the lawn is going nuts.
95% of the time in a “weed and feed” mix, you get a pre-emergent herbicide and a fertilizer usually in a ratio of 3:1:2 or 4:1:2 (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium).
Pre-emergent herbicides will not kill weeds that you can see. If you can see the weed, it is post-emergent meaning you need a post-emergent herbicide such as 24D or similar herbicide if you are selectively killing weeds.
There are some granular mixes that have post-emergent herbicide in them. Scott’s may even sell one. However, typically post-emergent herbicide will be in liquid form.
For the strength of the herbicides that you can buy at your local home store, throw it on the lawn, then come back and put some post-emergent on.

Why not pick the dandelions and make dandelion soup? They are one of nature’s superfoods.
Especially after some pre and post emergent herbicides.

First time I used Weed and Feed on a mixed content lawn, it killed half the shit I call lawn, and looked terrible for the next year or so.

This…is the right answer!!!
Just checked…it is the weed and feed.
All good to go on dandelions?

WTF, dude? Why do you want to spread a bunch of herbicides, on your Alaska lawn that frankly will never amount to shit anyway?
All that crap will end up in the Inlet. Why bother?

Adds flavor! Or, is it seasoning? Anyway, stay away from the stems.
I think the bigger question is who would gift you Scott’s Turf Builder. I think you deserve something far nicer.

Agree with this. Lawns are a waste of time and energy. To put herbicides on top of it is crazy town.
Not true.
Do you know how often I need to mow my f$&@#ing dandelion field? Those things grow several inches a day, are unsightly, and annoy the neighbors. Way less maintenance to mow and fertilize the lawn.
I think my yard is beyond repair at this point. I’ve got to go scorched Earth with a bobcat and start fresh.

You have a bobcat laying around?
