Love Tall Fescue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced all of my lawn a couple of years ago with this product. I just love the durability and feel of the fescue grasses. I used this product on some bare spots I had from my dogs this spring. It took 1 1/2 weeks and it is already coming up. I would recommend since it is so easy to use and it really produces.

Excellant quality product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I trimmed up my pine trees which resulted in bare areas under where the branches were near the ground. Being a shaded area, I thought grass would not grow under the tree. I applied Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair and within 10 days I had grass growing under my trees. I would strongly recommend this product!! It works well!

Easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like Fescue and in this container it is easy to renew those small bare spots. The container con be refilled after it is empty from a larger bulk container. There are always spots to recondition and having this container on the shelf makes it easy.

Product is doing what we expected it to do

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A Beta site was selected, and the ground was prepared. the sample 'EZ-SEED was applied. Unfortunately, the late spring rains came and washed the sample away. so I waited for more favorable conditions. Again the site was prepared, and the sample was reapplied. this time, Nature cooperated and the beta site reacted as was expected. I found it necessary to reapply the sample in order to increase the site's density. So i gently prepared and reapplied more sample to the site and again the product took root and filled in the site to an even more dense new grass.

It works - if you use it correctly.

We flip houses, and I always use Scotts products to revive the lawns quickly (and have no complaints), but I had never used the EZ seed. I created two test spots for this product before I applied it all over; one spot in my front yard (in a sunny location), and one in the back (in a shady location). I raked all loose grass or leftover/dead leaves from fall, sprinkled a very small amount of soil, about 1 cup in each 1 sqft. area, applied the grass seed, and watered. We did get rain the day after I seeded, and I then watered daily for 3 days. On day 5, I had grass!! And today, which is day 10, my entire patches are covered in grass shoots. I imagine in a few more days, my bare test spots will be completely covered in grass!!

Nothing but Weeds! Literally!!!

I never write reviews and this was warranted: I bought over 100$ worth of product to seed a 20' by 20' area and with in 3 weeks my yard was 100% covered from edge to edge in nothing but weeds. I'd say less than 1% was actually grass seed. I tried watering what my previous yard was for a month or two and sure I had a few weeds here and there but I would pick them by hand on the weekends and nothing really grew in so I decided to reseed. Once I put the seed down everything grew just fine but it was ALL WEEDS. My neighbor bought the same bags from the same store and he had the exact same results. It's clear that it came from the see because of how patchy it is and there are no weeds where I didn't lay down seed. At a loss for how terrible this product is.

Did not work at all

We bought three large bags of this ez seed because of the good reviews. We tried on many occasions and in different areas to grow grass in our yard. We followed to exact directions on the bag and we have seen no growth. We have also tried the same areas a few times. Also, my husband has tried and I have tried. Very frustrating!

We are certainly sorry to hear about the experience you had with our EZ Seed Sun and Shade Mix. When seeding, it is important to make sure you have the correct soil temperature and watering practices. Weed control products can also affect your results if used around the time of seeding. We strive to make our consumers happy, so we do offer a product guarantee. If you would like to further discuss this, please contact us here: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Great all in one patch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a wonderful product. It is so easy to use, you don’t have to figure out how much seed, how much fertilizer, how much mulch. The key to success is to make sure it is watered in and keep it watered .

This product was so, so.

Used this product a few years ago and had the same problem. Finally went to regular seeds out of a bag. Patched up a few spots with it this year and did what they said to do. Still waiting for signs of grass popping up and I have an irrigation system.....the rest of my lawn looks wonderful.

We apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced when using the product. This particular product usually has a lot of success stories from users, but it is helpful when we get reviews like yours to help us produce quality product. For Cool Season grasses like Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and different types of Fescues soil temperatures must be at least 55 degrees (+12.7 Celsius) for grass seed to germinate and can take between 4 -21 days to see germination. Warm season grasses like Bermudagrass, Centipede and Zoysia, which germinates in early summer, requires soil temperatures between 75 - 90 degrees (24 - 32 Celsius) and can take between 5-28 days to see visible germination. Watering also plays a defining factor in germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times a day until germination is visible and then watering 1- 1 ½” per week as needed. Both excessive watering and not enough watering can slow down or even stop germination of the product. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and one of our representatives would be glad to assist you. We hope this issue has not caused you to lose faith in our product, as we use reviews like yours to maintain and improve the quality product that you and other consumers have come to know and love.

Great growth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very easy product to use. Rake the bare spot a bit and sprinkle on. Keep it moist and grass will be growing in no time! It's a really excellent product and works very well. Visually, you can tell when it needs watered, which is a great help.
