We flip houses, and I always use Scotts products to revive the lawns quickly (and have no complaints), but I had never used the EZ seed. I created two test spots for this product before I applied it all over; one spot in my front yard (in a sunny location), and one in the back (in a shady location). I raked all loose grass or leftover/dead leaves from fall, sprinkled a very small amount of soil, about 1 cup in each 1 sqft. area, applied the grass seed, and watered. We did get rain the day after I seeded, and I then watered daily for 3 days. On day 5, I had grass!! And today, which is day 10, my entire patches are covered in grass shoots. I imagine in a few more days, my bare test spots will be completely covered in grass!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend and I purchased a home 2 years ago. The home and the yard were in decent condition however we had some bare spots where it was very shady. For example the grass near our mailbox was non existent because of a tree shading the area. My boyfriend was determined to get a beautiful green yard and got to work. This is one of the many products he purchased (and still purchases) and it worked great! Sprinkled seed in the fall and followed the directions and had grass in no time. Our lawn is now spot free green and thick! thanks!

Doesn't work! I actually bought a couple of these and wish I had only bought one because I used it and it didn't work. I have a big bag I bought at the same time that is too late to return to the store but seeing as the kind in the jug didn't work, I have no doubt the bag won't either. It's a shame because I really like all other Scotts products. We've been complimented on our lawn before and I say it's because I use the Scotts Turfbuilder several times a year.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like Fescue and in this container it is easy to renew those small bare spots. The container con be refilled after it is empty from a larger bulk container. There are always spots to recondition and having this container on the shelf makes it easy.

We bought three large bags of this ez seed because of the good reviews. We tried on many occasions and in different areas to grow grass in our yard. We followed to exact directions on the bag and we have seen no growth. We have also tried the same areas a few times. Also, my husband has tried and I have tried. Very frustrating!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair Sun and Shade when i Inadvertantly left out my outside square FIRE PIT and it fixed the 4X4 square patch of dead grass!! It REALLY took no time to come back!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I got an e-mail stating to wait until spring to use & review. However, in Michigan we've had exceptionaly warm weather so I decided to try Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade in a few areas around my house. As it was quite warm the seed grew fairly fast and repaired the bare spots in my lawn. I'm am pleased with the results and will use the rest in the spring time as the e-mail requested. If it works that good now it should be even better in the spring. Thank you for the opportunity to be able to try this fast & easy seed! I was impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this in mid-October, and had occasion to seed a few small areas on new soil that was seeded and growing except for a few spots I missed. We had an unusually nice Fall in the Midwest with temps in the 60s during the day and 40s overnight, so I planted the missed areas. I am pleased with the results as the grass is growing! This was on a hillside area with a lot of rain this Fall, so very pleased it remained where it was placed and did so well.

Well, I did everything that the instructions said and also used teh on line chat. I bought two EZ's for my lawn. (expensive) I Have watered and still no grass. Maybe it takes more than 10 days. Easy to distribute and great concept if it actually worked. Right now disappointed. Should see some results. I overseed and put on bare spots as directed.

When this product first came out, we used it all over our lawn to repair bare spots. However now we use it on areas where the underlying soil is not very good because of its expense. Instead where the soil is fine we scratch the surface and apply seed directly.
