Feeds For Deeper GreeningScotts Green MAX Lawn Food is a unique formula that feeds your lawn and provides a deep greening in just 3 days. Plus, it’s specially formulated not to stain concrete, driveways or other surfaces around your lawn, when used as directed. |
Unique 2-in-1 Formula For Any Grass TypeOur lawn food contains 5.17% iron, an essential micro-nutrient that enhances the greening process so you see results fast. Additionally, each granule is 100% nutrition, so your lawn gets all food and no filler. |
Tips For Lawn Care SuccessFirst, regular feedings help your lawn look it’s best and provide the nutrients it needs to withstand the stresses of weeds, weather and activity. Secondly, after you mow leave the grass clippings on the lawn! This allows grass to use water more effectively. Finally, water; utilize nature’s sprinkler as much as possible. When you do have to water, do it between 6 and 10AM - less water is lost to evaporation and more reaches the roots. |

I do wish it was a little less pricey because over the course of a month it faded!
As you can see from the first two pictures from around Easter the lawn was thin and patchy and didn’t look great. The next three are from June and it looks beautiful. Not only did the Scott’s help stimulate growth in the patchy spots, it also is giving the grass that luscious deep green color. It also proved to be versatile, as I seemed to not get even distribution on my first run which caused a diagonal patch of the lawn to still be thin and patchy as the rest of the lawn started to look great. I was able to supply additional product in the spotty areas and those filled in too. We did have quite a bit of rain as well after my first application which may have helped.
The only critique I have is the whole 3 day thing, that was not my experience, it took about 2 weeks from application to get where it is in the picture now, though I will say the areas I hit on my second application did seem to fill in much faster, around 4-5 days. Lastly, the area I was working was relatively small and I used a half a bag, so for those that have larger yards you may need multiple bags. As far as application, I’d recommend being conservative initially since you can always go back and fill things in. I’m a believer, the stuff works.

Yellow circles or a section of lawn turning yellow or with brown spots OR blades of grass with a white, silvery color are just some of the signs of fungus. Often people think their Fescue lawn needs more watering when they see the lawn turning yellow. That is where often a lawn is watered too much. KILL the fungus and you will see a BIG change in the greenery also, will have a healthy lawn. Usually, the fungus season is from spring through early to late fall during warmer temperatures
Fescue grass will not grow in a fungus infested lawn. What Fescue grass exist will die, unless the fungus is completely eradicated. With that in mind, apply a fungicide at a rate of twice or even three times the recommended rate. I personally use the liquid in a bottle that attaches to a garden hose. Apply the fungicide evenly. Then monitor the situation. After eradicating the fungus, usually once a month or every two months with the recommended application rate is needed to control any fungus re-infestation.
Second... once the fungus has been killed and an ongoing fungicide treatment plan is in place, this is where the Scott's Green Max Lawn Food does its job intended. IT DOES MAKE HEALTHY FESCUE LAWNS A DARK GREEN. The iron in lawn food is what will green the grass. Scott's has additional iron for that purpose, combined with other elements that work together for maximum green and growth.
I have been using the Scott's Green Max for several years on our Fescue Lawn. It's the only lawn food I will use. In the south, usually about the second or third week in May is the cutoff point for warm/hot weather application. Then resume your lawn feeding around the first or second week in September when temperatures start to cool. Then around mid October apply a second feeding and again around mid November to protect and feed during the cold winter months.
DON'T FORGET to also apply lime in pellet form in October for winter conditioning. Then reapply lime around March or April.
Hope this helps....
The results were amazing! super fast growing grass, super green and luxurious.
Sadly I did not apply another dose before summer, so my grass now looks like it is again struggling. Once summer is over, right before fall I will apply another dose to my yard to hopefully help it regain before winter.
