I needed to patch a few small areas that had been covered with dirt after planting trees. I purchased a 10 lb bag of EZ Seed because there were no bags of Scotts Grass Seed available. Despite following the instructions calling for a good initial watering, and making sure the area was adequately watered and with only partial shade, the seeded areas sprouted only a few thin anemic-looking stalks. It may grow grass on pavement as the bag indicated, but it certainly DID NOT grow in a nicely prepared small lawn area. After two months I gave up and purchased a 7 lb bag of Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix, which grew enthusiastically in the same areas. The 7 lb bag of Sun & Shade Mix advertises more over ten times the coverage area than the 10 lb bag of EZ Seed, and was $3 cheaper. Do not buy this product, unless perhaps you really need to grow grass on pavement. I didn't try that. I sent a letter to Scotts requesting a refund.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a test, put Scotts EZ seed right next to another competitor's product. The EZ seed came up in 2 weeks as advertised, whereas I'm still waiting for the competitor's to show signs of growth, it's been 3-4 weeks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is simple to use. Just loosen the soil or purple a few inches of new soil over the spot to be repaired. Water twice a day or as needed. See color if light it need moisture. Dark is is good. Read the easy directions on the container. I like the results and the seeds will adjust for sun or shade from seed mixture. III use this annually every spring and during summer for repairs. I use 100 per-cent Scott's seed. It meets my expectations.

After the city completed work on my block, an area on my lawn was dug up and without grass. I put Scotts Turf Builder Ez seed on the area and watered it approximately 2 1/2 hours daily and on the 4th day, grass was sprouting. I am very pleased with the growth that has occurred on my lawn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product to repair some spots on my lawn caused by pets . after prepping the areas the seed patch was easy to apply - just pour and walk away. Within a week I was seeing growth. The hardest part is prepping the needed areas - loosening the dirt after removing the dead grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seed was put down and slightly covered and already coming up and filling and blending into the lawn. Excellent color. Even the shaded areas have great growth recommend for all areas including high traffic areas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brought this awhile ago for some areas of patch grass in your yard - so far it’s done a pretty good job. The grass is coming back slowly and not to much of a mess. Hope it keeps growing, just seems to be a slow growing back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had been working with "dead spots" for years. After trying this product, we were sold. We keep some on hand all the time. The grass seems to grow overnight. All we have to do is add water. So simple!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have dogs (plural) who are tactfully classed as "high energy". The lawn takes a beating. Add to this that we need to use the snow blower in the winter to cut paths for them over the lawn to take care of their business, and you end up with lots of small areas that need patching. This doesn't include that dog urine continually in the same general area kills what hasn't been damaged by the show blower. I had tried patching with topsoil and grass seed and only had mediocre results. A few years ago, I saw a demo ad for EZ Seed in one of the box stores where they had grass growing on top of a cinder block and decided to give it a try. The results were amazing and I've been a convert ever since. It's simple to use and the results are worth it. Follow the directions on the label and it will work. Period.

[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.
