A Definite Green-Up
on June 20, 2013
Posted by: wiredawg
from Kathleen, GA, USA
Gender:Male
Expertise:Intermediate
Will definitely be a return customer for this product. Talk about greening my grass, got all my neighbors talking and 2 out of 5 use a "lawn service". I have bermuda grass, live in the middle Georgia area (clay-soil type). Applied on 1 Jun 2013 and it's doing it's job. Now, If I could just get rid on all my crab-grass and dallisgrass I would be just right... :)
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Good Directions, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

I plugged it into the hose and turned it to on just like the instructions and nothing but water came out. I tried it numerous times and for long periods and it wouldnt empty the container. Obviously the spray bottle didnt work
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product would not go thru spreader
on June 22, 2012

Expertise:Intermediate
When I poured the product into the spreader it looked like wet corn meal. A handful would pack like a snowball. The bag had no holes but apparently moisture had gotten to it. Needless to say I could not spread it even on a setting as high as 8.
Cons: Didn't work as expected, Difficult to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fast results

Applied MAX on 8/25 knowing we were having Labor Day visitors.
My neighbors grass was the exact same color as mine prior to application. Within 5 days, the grass was noticeably greener in comparison to the neighboring yard. Had a few comments this past weekend about the beautiful dark green color of the grass.

I used half the amount and criss-cross applied it. Used the blower to remove any product from cement following use. Had no iron stains.
I did have a very very slight problem with clumping.
If you have weeds, this will not only give the grass a boost, it will also give the weeds a boost. I had a few small weeds and they took off. I treated them and have been watching them wither.
Curious to know if a weed control could be added to this product.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Effective, fast results
Cons: none to mention.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was happy with this fertilizer but it did not make my grass turn as green as I had hoped or read from the other reviews. Still, not a bad product to use.
Pros: Value, Easy to Use
I would recommend this to a friend!
