This crap is a waste of money and it will burn and I have more weeds
now. Yes, I set the spreader correctly and I water early in the morning.
I am in the North East so if this is not surprising because of the
weather here - please enlighten me. Also if I should avoid Scott's
products also let me know. Should I get down and actually pull these by
hand


When did you apply it, and at what rate?

About a month ago and not sure what you mean by "what rate" ? Thanks for
the reply.


By "rate" I mean, how many pounds per thousand square feet of lawn?

Maybe my spreader/or I was malfunctioning which I guess could be the
reason for some burnt/brown spots and I have been guilty of that before
but if I did get it down why didn't it reduce the weeds on the areas not
burnt/browned?


Perhaps you didn't get an even coverage? The product in question has a bad
habit of clumping, which can make that difficult.

You also didn't mention what type of weeds you wish to control. What you
used won't work on crabgrass or mature dandelions (among others).
