I just used it today

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just used the product today so I don't know how it will perform yet. I was reluctant to use it due to its appearance of a lot of ground up newspaper. It was easy to apply and spread with a rake and when I soaked it with water it flattened out and remained in place. I think it will do a good job of filling in the bare spots

Grass seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A convenient and easy way to repair lawns. A great combination seed mix in a easy carry container without the hassle of how to seal up the package when you don't need all of the product. The easy flip open lid allows one to spread out the seed you need without having to get out a separate spreader.

This product produces excellent results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had large tree and stump removed. Used Scotts EZ Seed product and result were excellent. Grass is thick and very green. Working on trying to get rest of lawn to look the same. Daughter saw results and tried product , she had the same results. This product is super easy to use, just spread and keep watered. Will use again.

Effective and easy to use but expensive

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.

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.

reply from Consumer Service

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

Ease of use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well as most of us know the weather has been a contributing factor for everything being a bit off kilter so with that being said I just killed off my weeds a couple weeks ago so plan on trying this seed real soo. I do hope that this site will let me download my pics by then. Never had this problem before guess we will see.

Perfect for patches too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this seed! The key that most people forget is that you HAVE to keep the seed moist. As long as you water on a regular schedule you should be fine. After a few weeks when you see the grass blades coming up quite a bit you can cut back on your schedule a little bit at a time.

Not sure why all the bad reviews

I used EZ Seed all around my new patio when it was put in three years ago. It took a week or two to see any growth. I used it in the summer and then after the winter and into the next summer it had grown in very full. To this day it is still very full and I have had no issues with any of it dying. I can't believe there are so many bad reviews because this product worked great for me! I would definitely recommend it

This product worked EXACTLY as advertised!

We had excellent results. Our seed has worked exactly as it should have. We had over half our lawn die due to hard, hard freeze. We put this seed out as directed, and my husband was convinced it was a waste of money because after 2 full weeks, absolutely no signs of any grass, but after a full month had passed there was almost no bare dirt visible. After a couple more weeks my husband said, the yard looks better than it has in the last 10 years. Now we will see how it does through the winter.
