un-uniform growth

seems to work okay on small spots. Doesn't seem to work well on larger areas(3' x 4'). Thought maybe 1st container was an issue. 2nd container not much better(purchased from different vendor). Sparse growth. Even some small spots not germinating. Similar problems with this product last year. Old fashion seeding with seed, peat moss, etc. works the best.

We are sorry that you experienced somewhat lacking results inyour recent seeding effort. We'd like to offer a few tips that may be helpful to you in future seeding endeavors. Scotts EZ Seed requires both continuous moisture and warm soil temperatures. When one of these conditions is missing, poor germination is the result. You also must be sure to spread the EZ Seed Sun & Shade evenly over the prepared area. The seed should be sparsely applied to the depth of about 1/16" to 1/8" thick. If the product has been applied too thickly, germination will be poor. Temperature plays an important role in seedling germination. Soil temperatures for this particular product must be at least 55° F for the 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 hope these extra tips are helpful. We want you to be confident in our products, this is why we offer a product guarantee. If you would like to further discuss this, please contact us here: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

"Grows on anything".... well give me "anything" because this didn't grow!

We followed all the directions... Not only did this not grow ANYWHERE, when we watered it as directed, there was NO SEED INSIDE THE FERTILIZER!!!!!!! It dissolved completely and washed up into the edges of our new sod. And if anyone knows about SOD you're not to use fertilizer on new sod. So all of the edges of grass died because this stuff touched it. It never grew, it didn't do a single thing all these months later. I would get a refund but I do not have the container anymore. Waste of money.

I'm sorry that you were disappointed in our EZ Seed product. It is true that sometimes it is hard to see the seed in the product, because it is mixed with the starter fertilizer and mulching material. We'd like you to contact us at your earliest convenience to discuss what may be done to assist you with a refund.

Great color, fast growing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as sample to test last fall. It was to late to provide honest feedback because temps were already freezing at night. I planted it in a shaded spot that we have had a hard time getting grass to grow. Since it was so late in the season I over seeded the area after loosening the soil an 1" deep. Planted per package instructions and water accordingly. I was surprised to see that the seed germinated and was filling in nicely. Then it snowed and snowed. I figured that it was done. To my pleasant surprise this spring it filled the bare area with a deep rich green grass even though our temperature has been 10 degrees below normal and our rainfall is a record setting 21.09" when our yearly norm is 11". I highly recommend this grass.

I would purchase it again

I had construction on my property which destroyed the back yard. Normal seed takes too long to germinate so I used EZ SEED. It worked as described. The grass starns seemed to be thinner than other grass. I let the grass grow for four weeks before cutting. The plastic jug container never seem to be full but the smaller bag seems to be a good value. I was happy with the product.

Scotts EZ seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had multiple bare spots in my lawn that required reseeding. Although it was late fall, our whether in WI has been unseasonably warm. I decided to give the grass seed a try. Although it took a little longer for the seed to sprout, due to cool nights, the grass did begin growing and all bare spots have completely filled in. I can't wait until spring to see how nice my lawn looks now that it is filled in. The ease-of-use and the water retention factor of this product really makes it simple to use, with great results. Thanks Scotts for your wonderful products!

Seed did not grow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of filler called "growing material" and very little seed, or at least very little seed that actually germinated. Had several "holes" to fill in my lawn and only one place resulted in seed growth the rest nothing.

Love EZ seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd year of using EZ seed. There wasn't much snow here this winter and with a dog on the premises there were many brown places this spring and EZ seed is a huge help in taking care of those. I highly recommend it!

Easy to use, fast results!

After buying numerous bags of seed, I finally splurged on this stuff and I’m glad I did! We had a shed installed in our backyard and the delivery truck killed our lawn. I sprinkled this stuff on, and grass grew within a week! I love the brown color feature of the seed, it’s dummy proof for people like me who tend to water too much or too little. When I saw the seed turn light brown, I gave it a good soak and went about my business. Easy! Only negative is I wish more clover was included in the mix, a sustainable lawn is important to me. Can’t recommend this stuff enough!

Does what it says

Had a bush removed & used this to regrow the grass. *We didn't know after you remove a bush that you should add soil and then add seed. We just used the EZ-GROW product watered & hoped for the best. The grass grew in beautifully! I've also used it on the sides of my driveway where we occasionally drive on the grass during the winter. Grew nicely as well. So, I plan on using it again on the area a tree was removed..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this product every year as a I have 2 dogs and come spring I have quite a few brown patches. I clear out the dead spots add a little top soil and the grass grows right back. Very pleased with the results.
