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.

Excellent Results Here!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our ohio treelawn took a real beating this past Winter. We’re located on a main drag, and we see our fair share of salt from the City trucks. It pelted the heck out of the lawn, and it was dead as a duck come Spring time. It was a matted down, brown/gray lumpy mass of grossness. A shadow of its former self!! It was D-E-A-D. So out comes the hard rake, a heavy trash bag, and the e-z-seed. Lo and behold, we’re sprouting!! There’s hope for the tree lawn, it’s back, baby!!

Very easy to apply. The EZ Seed was applied at the end of the season, full results are expected in the Spring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product at the end of the Fall season, and immediately applied the EZ seed to bare spots on my lawn. In particular, I am trying to repair spots in the yard resulting from pet ownership. The affected areas were raked out, and EZ seed applied. Application was easy. Since it was applied at he end of the season, I have not seen full results. I believe that EZ Seed will be especially useful in addressing my particular application, that is small affected areas where pets have affected the lawn. . I look forward to these results.

Kick start your brown patches fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product pretty much says it all; space E Zseed Will take over your brown spots in your lawn with minimal work to the spots to be repaired. Scratch the surface and leave the product that simple. Even if you get lazy and just sprinkle the product out to the brown spots It will it here and take hold as long as you water. Great seed built in along with fine mulches that far excell other products on the market.

Best spot grass seed EVER!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a female, black lab for 15 years who wreaked havoc on my lawn. Every spring there would be dead patches of grass. Four years ago (maybe longer - - I've been using EZ Seed since they first came out with it) I started my spring patching with EZ Seed. I LOVE IT. #1 it is easy to apply. For me the less muss and the less fuss the better. You simply prep. your bare patches by raking the soil to loosen it up, which only takes minimum effort, and then you shake some EZ Seed onto the patch, spray the patches with water and viola - - the job is complete. #2 This seed grows so quickly. I didn't really believe the claims but I had grass sprouts within a week and a half or so. #3 The grass that grows from the seed needs little watering and is very lush, green and hearty. Oh and #4 it is so easy to know when to water the EZ Seed - when the patch material becomes light brown you water it. No more over or underwatering. This product is so easy to use, your 5-year old could do it. To recap: it is easy to apply, grows quickly, needs little watering, results in green lush grass and is easy to tend to until the grass grows. Since I started using EZ Seed I've never used anything else. It does what Scott's says it does.

Fast Growth

I have had good results with Scotts EZ Seed. Grass will grow just about anywhere within a week or two. However, I've found that just by itself that it can be a quick growth that doesn't live long. For best results, I've used EZ Seed along w/ a cheaper bulk (50lb bag) seed and find that I get quick growth from the EZ seed and the durability from the regular seed.

Very disappointing

I purchased a 20lb bag of this seed despite a lot of bad reviews. I've learned my lesson. Despite plenty of water, warm temperatures, and over 6 weeks of waiting, I don't think we've seen a single blade of grass sprout! Somehow I let myself get convinced by the "grows anywhere" advertisement. Scott's has usually been pretty reliable for us in the past but this was my first #and last# experience with EZ seed. I'll go back to using regular seed with lawn-starter mulch. It worked well for us last year, but I had decided to try a one-step approach this time, despite the very high pricetag. I'm just glad they have a guarantee. Now I just have to figure out how to make a claim...

We are sorry that you have experienced problems while using Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade. Generally, we recommend seeding in late spring when temperatures are warm not only during the day, but at night also. Temperature plays a critical role in seedling germination. Soil temperatures for northern (cool season) type turfgrass seed (Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue) must be at least 55 degrees F for seed to germinate. For best results, daytime temperatures must typically be in the 60-80 degree F. range and not going below 50 degrees F at night. Seeds will not germinate if the temperatures are cold at night, or are fluctuating from high day temperature to very low night time temperatures. The best time to seed cool season grasses is early to mid-fall. One major "enemy" of a newly seeded lawn is herbicide. Make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

Best thing for spot treatments or small areas

I use the EZseed to fix the many spots that my dog leaves behind. It works great! You do have to keep an eye on it and water it when needed but that's the same with any seed. This tends to work faster and thicker in any condition. Great product but a little pricey!
