We're following up on our Scotts 2-bag yard improvement project.
Earlier this year, we applied Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action South to Steph's yard. The second bag was to applied eight weeks later. So, it's eight weeks later and time to apply the UltraFeed, to keep the yard green all season long! Check out the video to see the progress we've made in Steph's yard and on mine! Products:
Here are the two lawn products we used. First the Turf Builder followed by Ultra Feed eight weeks later. We applied the first bag to Steph yard in February but didn't get to my yard until later.
When it was time to do my yard, we brought everything over to my house. I poured the Triple Action in the broadcast spreader and got started.
Unlike Steph's tiny little yard, the yard at my house is big! It took much more time to walk the property and spread the Triple Action.
After spreading the Triple Action, I watered it in. It was at this point, I wished I had a sprinkler.
But wait! There's more yard back here. I went through the entire process back here as well!
More watering in, but this time I found the nozzle to the hose making watering in the Ultra Feed in the backyard to much easier!
This yard is the result of years of neglect. It's hard to tell but there are so many weeds. We've never done any regular weed control other than pulling a few here and there. The yard was in desperate need of care!
This is almost seven weeks after applying the Scotts Triple Action South. It is the best I've ever seen it look. There are fewer weeds and the ants have moved elsewhere!
The backyard before.
And AFTER. The biggest thing I've noticed back here are the absence of fire ants, and there were a lot! Also, there don't seem to be any new sandspur weeds which previously were prolific especially near the concrete.. There's dollar weed back here that is still there but it does look like it is starting to die back. Rather than looking bright green it has taken on a yellowish appearance.
Time to apply the Ultra Feed back at Steph's house.
Simply pour in the product and walk the property to apply.
The sprinkler we bought was way to much for this tiny yard, so I just picked it up and used it like a hose nozzle. It worked to water in the Ultra Feed.
It has improved considerably. There are some bare spots in the yard, but in time, we think the grass will fill in those area. But all in all, it is an improvement. Bonus, the fire ants have relocated to an area next to her yard that wasn't treated!
This clover was thick at the edge of the yard.
Over about a period of six weeks, all of that clover died back! It is now clover free.
And this fire ant pile...
Gone! It's good to have that gone so the dogs don't step in it and get bitten.
We are very pleased with the improvement so far to our yards. Each of our yards had been neglected over the years as neither of us previously did any weed control or feed our yards.
Actually, taking care of the yard seemed overwhelming due to the number of products that you could use. Being able to use just two bags of product made the prospect of lawn care easy and uncomplicated. I think overtime with the regular application of these two products, we both will see continued improvements to our yards with fewer weeds and healthier looking grass.
