This product works if you are patient!

We have had little to no rain this year since June. A section of my lawn got scorched due to the 90 degree temps. I had a bag of green max in the garage which I had previously purchased and decided to try it. I mowed the lawn area, wet it with a hose, applied the product with a Scotts drop spreader and watered it in with a sprinkler for 10 minutes. Now I look at green grass instead of brown grass. It takes longer than 3 days but it's worth the wait.

I read all reviews about stains so I was extra careful to sweep my driveway after application. Next day we had rain and spots appeared all over my driveway. Will have to spend more money removing the stains than cost of product. My lawn looked ok, but no different than other scotts fertilizers. Was not worth buying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from ScottsBy Christin, Consumer Service, August 12, 2013
I am sorry to hear that your driveway was stained after using Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer plus 5.17% Iron. The iron in Green Max Lawn Fertilizer plus 5.17% Iron may stain as indicated on the back of the label. The quicker a stain removal process is begun, the more effective the process will be. Sunlight and water will help to fade the iron stains from the product on outdoor surfaces, but will not completely remove them. While not endorsed or guaranteed by Scotts, the following products have shown to be effective at removing iron stains from regular concrete and are registered for this use: Signature Concrete Rust Remover, Goof Off Rust Stain Remover Outdoors or Super Iron Out Outdoor.
We suggest you refer to the product label before applying any product to an iron-stained surface. Before using any commercial cleaning products to remove stains, test a small area to make sure the cleaner itself does not cause damage. Most stain removal products work best with two applications.
We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience please contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the 2-in1 Formula with iron. In the past I have always done the extra work with adding iron by itself, 1 pass with Scott’s Green Max and you’re finished. I use my Scott’s spreader to broadcast the law food and what I really like about Green Max lawn food is that there is no clogging up the machine as the material is loose and disperses easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is very easy to use. I followed the instructions listed on the package. Used with my Scotts hand held spreader. Used on half my lawn to compare the outcome, kinda of a test to see the results. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fertilizer does what it says and greens the lawn just like it says. A look at my lawn and then others shows the difference. Easy to spread and easy to use for the green results for the lawn. Really good product.
