- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2024Size: 5,000 sq. ft.Style: FloridaVerified PurchaseNew house and new layed sod. Was cutting the St Augustine grass in Florida once a week but it started looking yellow in areas. After reading many reviews on best fertilizer for St Augustine grass, I settled on the Scott's Turf Builder Southern lawn food. Applied with my new small Scott's spreader set at 4.5. Not a huge yard so only used a half a bag of the 5000 sq ft bag. Applied when the grass was dry, which was difficult in Florida with it raining everyday. I also raised my new Skill EV mower to one notch from max height. Read 3 to 4 inches is best length for St Augustine grass. See the photo, the grass looks amazing now.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024Size: 5,000 sq. ft.Style: FloridaVerified PurchaseProduct is very lumpy and has to be
broken apart to allow proper distribution through spreader. May be from moisture from stored outside? Once crumbled it should be fine but be sure to wear rubberized or chemical gloves.
