In order to check this out, I contacted the manufacturer and asked them. They tell me the following:
The "Turf Builder" product is a fertilizer. It's labeled pet and kid friendly. There's no warning label regarding pets. Components are mostly Nitrogen, Iron, potash, and sulphur. Once, this product contained phosphorus, but that's been removed. While anything can be toxic in sufficient quantity -- even water -- this is a pretty benign brew and I think it's not a risk to pets under normal circumstances.
Scott offers to send you copies of the labels, and go over this in greater detail with you, if you wish to phone them.
Scotts Turf Builder contains a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer as its main ingredient. It does not contain any poisonous substances, as it is designed for use on lawns to promote healthy growth.
scotts turf builder is used to help your grass grow thick. it does stop some dandelions but it doesnt complete wipe them out
Scotts Turf Builder lawn fertilizer already contains some iron. If too much iron is applied at 1 time, the rass could suffer from iron toxcitiy. Wait a few weeks after your application of Turf Builder before applying additional iron.
For the Earthway broadcast spreader, you can set it to a setting of around 3.5 to apply Scotts Turf Builder Plus 2 accurately. It's recommended to start at a lower setting and adjust as needed based on the size of the particles in the fertilizer and the coverage you desire. Always refer to the Scotts Turf Builder packaging for specific application instructions.
Yes, 24-D is in Scotts Lawn Pro Weed and Feed and Scotts Turf Builder with Plus 2 Weed Control
Because Scotts Turf Builder with Halts prevents the germination of grassy weeds, such as crabgrass, for up to 4 months, it will also prevent the germination of grass seed, including Bermuda grass. It is best to use Scotts Starter Food when seeding new grass seed or sod.
There is nothing in Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer that will harm Bermuda Grass. You will want to wait to apply the product though until the lawn is out of winter dormancy. If you apply the Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer before the lawn is out of winter dormancy then it could cause some damage to the grass. If your lawn is still dormant, but you want to apply crabgrass preventer now, Scotts does sell Halts without the fertilizer in it.
You would want to use spreader setting 3.25
The spreader setting for Scotts Southern Turf Builder when using the EZ Broadcast spreader by Republic is 3.5. If you are using the EZ Drop Spreader by Republic the spreader setting is 6.5.
Yes. Turf Builder is fertilizer made just for lawns
