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.

Been using this on and off for the last two years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great for small (patch) areas. Needs to be watered every day for best results. I will be purchasing another ones as I'm finally out. I'm surprised it still worked this year since I've had it for a couple years.

Ez seed sun and shade

I planted this in an area that get little to no sun hoping for the product to work as described ("Grows anywhere guaranteed, even grows in dense shade"). Well not to my surprise it did nothing.I new it was to good to be true. I watered daily not over watering either. The ground was prepared like it should but I got zilch. Going to go with mulch I guess in this area. returning rest of seed for full refund.

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 give us a call at 877-220-3089 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.

Does the job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some grass areas that were very thin. I purchased Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade. I broke the soil up and put down some top soil. I applied the EZ Seed, watered twice a day. 3 weeks have gone by and my new grass looks great. Would recommend and would by again. Great product!

Great Patch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes filling the small patches I have my yard very easy. I just followed the directions and was careful not to over the holes as directed. I watered daily and now it looks great! Very easy to use.

Works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product in the past and was very pleased. I like the fact that it is just one step. I usually cover new seeds with a thin layer of topsoil or compost, but everything is included in EZ Patch - you just have to shake on and water.

Nothing so far after nearly a month

Bought it with high hopes. Spread easily, kept it watered so the color was right based on instructions. Nothing so far after nearly a month. Had some warm days and cooler days but maybe it's not hot enough yet? Who knows. Recent reviews and results compared to older ones makes me wonder if something went wrong with production.

adamxcl, we're sorry to hear Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair didn't germinate for you. For best results, day and nighttime temperatures should be consistently above 60 degrees. Reach out to us here for assistance with our product guarantee: https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca

Makes it green

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably the easiest reseed information spot product that I have ever used You scrarch the surface a bit to loosen the spot shake the canister, and keep it a little moist and in my case it was about nine days and the bare spots were turning green

This product has GREAT features and GREAT Results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was very easy to use. I added some new top soil to the spots, then followed the directions and it took approximately 2 weeks for the grass to come up. Very happy with the end result. You can't go wrong with a Scotts product

Works well for dog urine burns

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have a dog whose urine burns and kills the grass in spots. Tried supplements for him to no avail. This seed fills in the holes well. Comes in fast and doesn't take a lot of attention to maintain. Highly recommend.
