BioAdvanced 5-in-1 Weed and Feed Granules - Kills Lawn Weeds & Crabgrass - Feeds, Greens & Strengthens Lawn - Treats Up to 4,000 Square Feet - 9.6 lb Bag

I'm not going to ask you to trust me, just hear me out. I've spent the last 14 years trying to correct/eradicate weeds in a yard that was neglected by the previous owner for 50 years, it's been a struggle. I've literally spent 10s of thousands of $$$ over that time on various weed killers, seed, and water on the yard (~¾ acre). This product however, hit different in all the right ways. It wiped out pesky areas of clover, annihilated ground ivy (creeping Charlie), dandelions, and whatever cabbage looking stuff I usually see this time of year. Crabgrass is nearly nonexistent, the limited amount I see is most likely from application limitations. Yes, it stinks a little after application, be happy, that means you got the good stuff! Timing of application is critical!!!! DO NOT APPLY TO A DRY LAWN!!! For the best results, apply in morning while the yard is dew soaked, followed by rain/irrigation, provided you can reasonably expect no rain the next 24 hours in either scenario. Buy it in advance to have on hand when prime conditions present themselves, be patient, but be ready to seize the moment when it presents itself, it will pay dividends! The nitrogen provided a decent greening, though after 5 weeks, another feeding might be needed. Coverage was a little less than advertised, but 3 bags were sufficient for ¾ acre with rotary spreader. Don't expect a one and done solution for heavily infested yards, it may take multiple applications over multiple seasons to achieve a weed free yard, just like Rome wasn't built in a day. I'd give this product 11/5⭐️s, 'cause it's twice as good as anything else out there.

This product gets better results than the professional fertilizing companies I've used in the past. It gets rid of hard to eradicate weeds and lasts for several months. I suggest a few weeks after application using "Ironite" or a product that has the main or sole nutrient nitrogen for a really green lawn weed free. It's remarkable that the Bayer 5 in 1 eradicates crabgrass too. The only downside to the product is that it definitely has a chemical odor that lingers a a couple days or more. Pour the product into the spreader on cement so if you spill it won't destroy the lawn. Wear long sleeves, gloves, pants, goggles and maybe a mask. Your neighbors might think you're odd but hey better to be safe than have any adverse outcome from using any chemical. Keep pets off too for at least a couple days or until the odor goes away. Those are my suggestions for using this product a couple times of year versus multiple times fertilizing and doing it safely for a weed free, green (use a nitrogen nutrient), lush, professional looking lawn.

Everywhere I used it saw the grass grow better, although it did not fight some weeds effectively

This stuff won't work unless the lawn is wet, then it will stick to weed leaves and kill them. Application on a dry lawn will not work well. There was a rain the night before I applied it. The lawn was not soaking wet, but was very moist between the grass blades. Dandelions are dying and hope to see crabgrass die off soon. You use about half the amount of this for the same application area as Scotts, so you have to be sure you have good even coverage to kill the weeds. Also, dandelions become zombie weeds, still sending out flowers and gobs of seeds even though they are near dead!

Used this product for the last 2 years with mixed results. Since weeds are typically not as big of a problem in zoysia lawns to begin with, this product has predictably done very well when it comes to weed & crabgrass prevention. Almost zero weeds or even crabgrass even though I'm surrounded by untreated neighboring lawns. However, my results as far as green-up & growth promotion & overall health of my lawn have been poor. Lawn has been ravaged by dollar spot/brown patch in each of the last 2 seasons. With such a short growing season, the dead spots don't have much time to regenerate before time's up on the growing season. Last year, after a liquid fungicide stopped the problem, there was only time for about 1/2 of the damage to recover. To tell the truth, I regret ever going with zoysia grass to begin with (now about 10 years ago) It was billed as low maintenance & has proven to be anything but that. Now, faced with the nightmare scenario of removing it with it's ridiculous root system, that's just not an option for a 68 YO man.

If I could give this negative stars I would. I actually have more weeds in my yard AFTER using this. However, the feed portion of the weed and feed appears to have worked because my grass is a lot darker green. But I seriously have more weeds in the yard after using this and it is blowing my mind. I didn't want to believe that only good weed control could be applied through liquid form, but this product made me change my mind. This was applied at 6 in the morning AFTER the grass was "dewy" and then each area was hit for five minutes from my lawn irrigation system. Same day turned out to be dry and sunny later in the afternoon. You couldn't have any better conditions for the application to stick to broadleaf weeds, etc. Do not recommend this product to anyone looking for weed control because you'll be highly disappointed!

I held off on reviewing this product until I gave it time to work — and I’m glad I did. I followed the instructions and started seeing noticeable changes right around the two-week mark, just like the bag said. Before applying it, my yard had a mix of dandelions, crabgrass, and bare patches that made it look messy. I don’t have a before picture, but trust me — it wasn’t pretty. Since using BioAdvanced 5-in-1, my lawn has transformed. It’s now green, thick, and healthy-looking, and the weeds are gone. What really makes me happy is the curb appeal — my house sits on a corner lot with a stop sign, so people see my yard constantly. Now it stands out in a good way and really adds to the look of the neighborhood. This stuff delivered exactly what I needed. Just give it a little time, follow the instructions, and it works.

Good
