Don't let your lawn succumb to harsh summertime or drought conditions. Scotts Turf Builder Summer Lawn Food is a fertilizer that builds strong, deep roots and greens grass with up to 50% less water (vs. unfed turf maintained using university guidelines for weekly volume water replacement for established turf. When used as directed, greening effects last up to 6 weeks; results will vary due to temperature and turf type). This 2-in-1 lawn fertilizer plus water maximizer is powered by Everydrop Technology, a wetting agent which helps drives water into hard, dry soil.
