Fast Results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best grass growing system. East to use and Fast Results. I have tried several other kinds, this is not messy at all, very easy to use. Love the container, easy to pour versus bagged products.

Works about 75% of the time - Overall a decent buy

I had a lot of small patches (less than 6” diameter) and some bigger ones. This product worked pretty well on the smaller bare areas and less well on the bigger ones. One of the bigger patches came in nicely (after several applications), two other ones came in pretty poorly. Overall this is a much better product than PatchMaster. What I found is that I ended up applying EZ Seed a few times to the same area. This helped tremendously but as mentioned a couple of spots would not take no matter what I did. Overall the product is good for filling in smaller bare spots and not so good for say a 12” or bigger bare spots. Also, I suggest you apply this as early as possible to give the grass a chance to get stronger prior to winter.

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.

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!

Surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an area in my yard that gets very little sun and has always been a problem getting seed to grow there so I was not all expecting this seed to. But to my surprise after about 2 weeks, I started to see some of the seed starting to take root and soon after ward, more of started to come i with each passing day. Needless to say, I am very happy with this and plan to buy more for other places where I need to fill in patches. Thanks guys

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!!

Great product. It really works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on a small patch I couldn't get anything to grow. I applied it and even forgot to water it and I have a nice green patch of grass that blends in with the existing lawn. I'm not sure how long it took, but it was quick. I would definitely use it again and recommend it to others

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this product 5 or 6 times now and it works great. The only con I have for it is the price. It's a little expensive and I wished it covered more square feet. Overall an excellent product to fill bare spots or thin areas.

Not good for extreme conditions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a heavily sloped back yard with more moss than grass due to also being heavily wooded. I wanted to get more grass on the sloped areas to help with traction (moss can be very slippery). It grew in patches. I am not sure if it was the products quality, as I have always had good luck with Scott's products, or our extreme conditions. I am leaning towards our extreme conditions.

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. At your earliest convenience please contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n
