Super

This product never ceases to amaze me. It is as reliable as the sun rising. I have many problem spots on my lawn due to large trees. This product helps me fill in those spots every time. Then I hit the whole lawn with Turf Builder as I have been doing for over 40 years and .....Viola.....green carpeting to behold!!!

Real EZ seed, no thinking required!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts ez seed is just as it says EZ. All you have to do is remove all thatch, shake the seed out onto the ground. Done! Everything is included, seed, fertilizer and cover included in container. You can even tell when you need to water by the color of the area after it is applied. The grass looks great from the seed.

Didn't work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried it once following the instructions carefully. No results. Bought more to try it again and made double sure I followed the instructions. Guess what. Didn't work again. I have always liked Scott's products in the past but this one I definitely do not.

Be sure to spread the EZ Seed Sun & Shade evenly over the prepared area. EZ Seed Sun & Shade should be sparsely applied to the depth of about 1/16" to 1/8" thick. If EZ Seed Sun & Shade 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 germination of the seed. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass. I hope these extra tips are helpful. 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° F for seed to germinate. For best results, daytime temperatures must typically be in the 60-80°F. range and not going below 50°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. We want you to be confident in our products.

poor product

I bought several bags of this product to fill in thin spots and patch my large lawn. I followed the instructions to the letter and nothing grew! I can only find one receipt but I i will be claiming the refund. My neighbor used a different brand and got very good results so I am going to use it next time!

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

Disappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used EZ Seed multiple times during the spring -summer of 2014, and constantly felt the need to re seed, as the applications didn't trully all take effect. I thought for certain the grass would come back after the winter, but to my disappointment....the areas I used the EZ Seed are absolutely dead. The grass never made it through the winter.

We are sorry that you experienced problems while using Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade. Unfortunately, we cannot be certain why your grass has died after growing well at first. Once they start growing, grass seedlings may succumb to environmental factors such as disease, insects, or extremes of temperature and moisture. This is not necessarily evidence of inferior grass seed, as even superior grass types are subject to natural stresses. 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.

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.

Easy Seed Make For Easy Work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently had some street work done in front of the house which necessitated removing the curb and putting in a new curb, dirt and grass seed. Contractor did all of that work, but the grass came up sparsely and full of weeds. EZ SEED to the rescue. Every where I used this product it has come up quickly, thick and without any weeds. Love how it works!

Grew stickers

I bought this a couple months ago to seed an area I completely tilled. Instead of getting beautiful green grass I got ugly tedious sticker plants. At first I thought they were weeds until my kids kept getting stickers in their feet. Now I get to deal with these pests all year unless I pick them out by hand. Not at all happy and I used to recommend Scott's brand, not any longer though.

Our apologies for the negative experience you have had while using Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair Sun and Shade Grass Seed. It is normal to have some weeds germinate while seeding because soil preparation brings weed seeds to the surface. All Scotts seed is thoroughly cleaned and is 99.9% weed seed free. We stand by our products with a satisfaction guarantee, and if you would like to discuss this further, feel free to contact us at 888-270-3714. Refer to this review when calling.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this product and it works well. After preparing areas of my yard to be seeded, I applied the seed. Keeping it moist, the seed germinated quite quickly. The nice things about it is that the seed stays in place and comes in thick. I've been very happy with this product.
