Don’t Buy

It’s been two weeks and still not even a sprout. We had light rain all week with no puddling and I can still see the seed so it wasn’t washed away. I wouldn’t bother writing a review, but it’s a frustratingly simple concept and yet it’s failed on multiple occasions.

Keep it moist!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product packaging is very well designed. The dispenser head is especially good at an even flow of material. I first used the product on an established lawn bare spot. It took a week to see any growth but part of the problem was i was unavailable to keep it moist throughout the day. Then the tree stump remover guy came and took out two stumps. I had ideal top soil conditions and very well timed rain storms that were soft rains, not downpours. This was the cats meow! Strong growth is up and continuing, there is no over seeding or bare spots. So, with the right amount of water and care, this product is great.

Has not impressed.

I removed a flower bed and replaced with EZ seed last Fall I got decent growth after 2 weeks but never survived Winter. Also seeded on West side of house and never got growth, and re-seeded this Spring and after 2 weeks still nothing watered everyday. Have had better luck with plain seed and starter fertilizer, which I may end up doing.

Hello. We're sorry for the disappointment you have experienced with the results of your recent seeding effort. We would like to offer a few tips that may be helpful to you in future seeding endeavors. As with any seed product, Scotts Ezseed Tall Fescue requires both continuous moisture and warm soil temperatures. When one of these conditions is missing, poor germination is the result. Be sure to spread the Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair evenly over the prepared area. It should be sparsely applied to a depth of about 1/16" to 1/8" thick. If Scotts Ezseed Tall Fescue has been applied too thickly, germination will be poor. Also, make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used where you are seeding, as those products will also prevent or inhibit the germination of the seed. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass. We hope these extra tips are helpful. Temperature plays a critical role in seedling germination. Soil temperatures for northern (cool season) type turfgrass seeds (Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue) must be at least 55° F for the seeds to germinate. For best results, daytime temperatures must typically be in the 60-80 °F range and not go below 50 °F at night. Soil temperatures for warm-season grass seed (bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, centipedegrass, bahiagrass) must be around 70° F for the seeds to germinate. For best results, daytime temperatures should be 77° F or higher and not go below 60° F at night. Seeds will not germinate if the temperatu We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Works very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Already planted some of both after trip back from New England . Growing well and looks good. Had natural rainfall to keep seed wet and temp will top off today around mid 70 ! Planted two ways and both doing great ! Scratched lose the soil ,planted,then covered ever so lightly with seasoned three year old mulch. #2 Didn’t do any prep AT ALL ,planted seed on bare earth, added some mulch ( good stuff ) and Voila ,Green grass. Still have some samples of both and will go at it again when the days get longer . Regards, Kelly

Easy to apply

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was very easy to apply. Germination was very good. Guessing > 90%. Used in both full sun and a shady area under a tree and both came out very nice. Again just writing words to fill out the mandatory word count. Very annoying.

A No-Brainer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the product to get the small spots that didn't come up. Just like any of the Scotts products, following the directions is the key to success. I've used this for several years and never had a problem. This seed acts fast & fills in fast & that should make you Happy.

Little to no sun in backyard

I have very little sun in my backyard due to a very large walnut tree. There is a spot in my backyard without any grass at all. Neighbors told me there was no way I would ever get grass to grow. I saw the EZ seed and figured it would work. Within about 2-3 weeks I started to see grass start to sprout. It took a little longer than the bag says, but I also didn't follow the watering the way I was advised. Other than that the product worked amazing and I am very happy with the results. Can't wait til next summer :)

Grass within 7 Days!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this product in the spring and it works great!! So I thought I'd give it a try in the fall time. Honestly it worked like a champ. Cold weather and all. Started to notice grass within 7 days or so. This is a great product in the spring , summer and fall!! I would definitely buy this again!!!

Does the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been a cold wet spring and I've had to relay a lot of yard work, but now that it's warmed up and dried out I could finally begin yardwork. After prepping the area and seeding it in, it began showing sprouts pretty fast. Easy to.use product.
