Good news. Bad news.

I have always used Scotts products on my lawn. During the winter of 2013-2014 we had quite a bit of grass that died over the winter. We decided to use Scotts EZ Seed to fill in where the grass had died. When the grass finally started to grow in the spring of 2014 (we live in Wyoming so it took awhile to get get warm enough for the grass to start growing) it came in great. Nice and thick and green. Last summer my lawn looked the best that it has ever looked. That is the good news. That bad news is that all the grass that we planted last spring died this past winter. It was only the grass that we planted in the spring that died. The grass that survived the previous winter also survived this past winter. I am enclosing several photos, starting with what the lawn looked like in the summer of 2013 and after the grass had died in 2014. Then there are several photos that show how good the grass came in during the spring and summer of 2014 and then finally a photo of what the lawn looks like today (spring 2015). Maybe you could offer some advice and what went wrong. We are deciding on how to approach the lawn this year. Try seeding it again or maybe try laying sod.

We are sorry that you experienced problems while using Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade. Unfortunately, I 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 suggest making sure to change your watering practices after the seed emerges to deep infrequent waterings to promote deep root growth. Deeper soil prepearation may also allow the grass seedlings to root deeper, and become established. A deep root system w Two enemies of newly seeded lawns are herbicides and lawn diseases. While you have very little control over the outbreak of a lawn disease, please make sure that no weed control or weed prevention chemical has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination or harm newly germinated grass. 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.

Didn’t perform quite as good as expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some bare spots in my lawn. Following the directions I used the Ez seed patch repair. The areas I used it on did fill in somewhat, but not as full as I expected. The areas were still somewhat sparse.

Nice patch work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I followed the directions and it's very easy to apply. Just be sure to keep it moist, but not too moist. It just takes some time and patience, but eventually you get the grass you were looking for. Apply it wherever you want.

Did not grow at all

brought two containers of this product and used one and a half of them. Followed directions and not one blade of grass grew! took back the unused container for my money back but the retailer would only give my money back on one because I had already tossed the first one. Very disappointed in the product.

Great Patch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes filling the small patches I have my yard very easy. I just followed the directions and was careful not to over the holes as directed. I watered daily and now it looks great! Very easy to use.

All-in-one, easy to carry and tricks the birds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic all-in-one product. I don't have to lug around soil to top off the seeds anymore! And the birds seem to be uninterested in the mixture so I am able to get full coverage and great germination. The extra fertilizer is a plus!

Mreicle Sprouts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was skeptical reading what was in the container and applying to the lawn, Well it's been 2 weeks and the Patch repair is sprouting very nicely! I'm very impressed with this product, I highly recommend it!

Grass Growing Where it Hasn't in Years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The side of the house, deals with runoff from hard rains, so grass growing there goes away pretty quickly. I wanted to see if I could make some moves to bring grass back to that locations. It took me over a week, being disabled, to prep that small area, and my neighbor actually helped me bring mulch to that area as well, to try and slow down the rainwater. That was certainly a blessing. After all the prep work, I opened up the Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Tall Fescue, and took my time pouring it out. I wasn't sure if it was taking, but I watered it like I was supposed to. It took about 2-3 weeks before I saw real growth, and it seems I now have a chance at changing that area from dirt and moss, back to grass. Only time, and if I came up with a real solution to slowing down the rain runoff, well tell.

Scotts® EZ Seed® Sun & Shade (New Formula)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a noticeable bare spot in my yard right off the back patio. I have tried several methods to fill it in utilizing basic seed before winter. NO LUCK!!! So I decided to try this product, Scotts® EZ Seed® Sun & Shade (New Formula) to fix this issue. I did as directed and within no time I had green grass shooting up out of the dirt. Right now I got to let it go to seed to ensure good root formation. I like that the super-absorbent growing material absorbs water easily and provides what is necessary to complete the task at hand. (GROW GRASS!!)

great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had three areas where I did remove trees and bushes, did use other seeds but they did not survive well, and then I tried EZseed and the patches were gone, new grass all over the areas, I highly recommend this product.
