Grew well in a tough growing spot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with this product. It grew well in a shady area that I have had very little success--even with other Scotts products in the past. I am not a big fan of attempting to grow grass in the late Spring but there was a bare spot under a tree that I did not want to have increase in size due to run-off. I planted the seed and it sprouted well in 6 days. I have now mowed twice and it seems to be holding up well.

A No-Brainer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the product to get the small spots that didn't come up. Just like any of the Scotts products, following the directions is the key to success. I've used this for several years and never had a problem. This seed acts fast & fills in fast & that should make you Happy.

Expensive and kind of works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cannot use over too much area as it is really pricey, therefore best for just spot repair. Must keep the product wet, must water it more than once per day during sunny weather..make sure the product stays dark brown - it gets light brown when dry. Seeds are slow to germinate and grass does not come out as full as I would like.

Easy to use and the results are simply WOW! Amazing, quick, and great results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW! This product is not only easy to utilize but the results were absolutely amazing and quick. I had numerous spots in my yard that I simply could not get grass to grow for some reason. After following the very easy to understand instructions I have great grass in those locations. In fact these locations look so great, lush, full, and green that I simply wish I could do my whole yard with this. I wish I would had taken before and after photos to share.

Not very good

I prepared the area to be reseeded as per instructions. After 2 weeks there was only a 20% germination at most. I again prepared the area even using Scotts top soil. After 17 days there was zero germination. The area was prepared correctly and watered as it needed. In the fall I will go to plan B.

We are sorry to hear that our EZ Seed Tall Fescue did not work as expected for you. Excessive moisture or not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. Using weed control products around the time of seeding can also affect the germination process. We do offer a guarantee for all of our products.

Quick and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After doing some repair work around my home I had several areas that needed the grass repaired. I raked the areas and I covered it with Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun and Shade. Watered as directed and normal rain did the rest. The areas are nice and green and no more bare spots. It was very easy to use. Better than just regular grass seed.

I tried this twice without any success whereas your copmpetitor (Pennington) in the same area worked very well.

Not pleased. In direct competition, same area of the lawn, same day, etc., the competitor (Pennington) outperformed your product hands down. Based on your advertising, maybe I don't have enough concrete in my lawn. Additionally your product was more expensive.

reply from Scotts Consumer Service

We apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced when using the product. This particular product usually has a lot of success stories from users, but it is helpful when we get reviews like yours to help us produce quality product. For Cool Season grasses like Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and different types of Fescues soil temperatures must be at least 55 degrees (+12.7 Celsius) for grass seed to germinate and can take between 4 -21 days to see germination. Warm season grasses like Bermudagrass, Centipede and Zoysia, which germinates in early summer, requires soil temperatures between 75 - 90 degrees (24 - 32 Celsius) and can take between 5-28 days to see visible germination. Watering also plays a defining factor in germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times a day until germination is visible and then watering 1- 1 ½” per week as needed. Both excessive watering and not enough watering can slow down or even stop germination of the product. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and one of our representatives would be glad to assist you. We hope this issue has not caused you to lose faith in our product, as we use reviews like yours to maintain and improve the quality product that you and other consumers have come to know and love.

Great for filling in bare spots

I used a 40lb bag to reseed an area affected by bugs. Followed directions explicitly and got great results in an area that's difficult to grow. Although I planted later than usual (after Labor Day) grass is coming in well. I have used this product in the past and have some advice. Make sure that you thoroughly till the soil down to 2" for strong root growth. Keep lightly watering once a day after the grass is 2" high to allow other types of seeds in the mix to germinate. If you stop watering too soon some of the new grass will die back and other seeds will not germinate.
