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.

Worst Scotts product I ever bought!

I wasn't sure which product to use this time so I bought the EZ Seed once again and a bag Scotts top soil to mix into the soil. I also bought a bag of Scotts Patch Master. After 3 weeks, the EZ Seed didn't produce a single grass stalk. The Patch Master produced grass over 90% of the applied area! See photo's attached

We are sorry for the disappointment you have experienced with the results of your recent seeding effort. I'd like to offer a few tips that may be helpful to you in future seeding endeavors. As with any seed product, ScottsEZ Seed Sun & Shade requires both continuous moisture and warm soil temperatures. When one of these conditions is missing, poor germination is the result. Be sure to spread the EZ Seed Sun & Shade evenly over the prepared area. EZ Seed Sun & Shade should be sparsely applied to the depth of about 1/16" to 1/8" thick. If EZ Seed Sun & Shade has been applied too thickly, germination will be poor. Also, make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used where you are seeding, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination of the seed. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass. We hope these extra tips are helpful. Temperature plays a critical role in seedling germination. Soil temperatures for northern (cool season) type turfgrass seed (Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue) must be at least 55° F for 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. 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.

GREAT EASY TO USE PRODUCT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] used this to fill some bare spots from last summer. Put it down late fall but with the warm wet winter in nj the product did start to grow. The water absorption additive makes it a simple process with minimal watering.

Waste of money

We completely wasted $80 by spending more money and going wtih the "big name" in yard care to make sure our grass looked nice. Followed the directions on the bag to the tee, watered everyday, had the area properly prepared, and the bare spots on the ground look the same today, as they did on April 19 when I seeded. An absolute complete waste, and I will never pay the premium for a Scotts product again. Scotts should put more money into the R&D of their product and not so much into their marketing. Now today I get to spend more time and money putting down top soil and traditional seed, which in hindsight I should of done from the beginning. Don't waste your time or money on this "magic" product, it doesn't workk as advertised.

Ez Seed is a Quick Patch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The edge of my lawn is constantly being torn up by cars. I solved the problem by installing 4 X 4 lighted posts on the edge of my lawn adjoining the street. Once installed I filled the ruts with Miracle Gro top soil and spread Scott’s EZ Seed - this fast growing patch filled in the ruts with thick luscious grass in no time flat. If you need a quick patch for your lawn, you can’t go wrong with Scott’s EZ Seed.

Unbelievable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is reasonably price considering it virtually guarantees you grass! It is easy to use, just follow the directions and you will be amazed. It has never failed once for me. Much better than other products on the market.

A waste of my time

This was the second time in as many warm seasons that I decided to try EZ Seed Patch and Repair. Thinking that I might have gotten a bad container the first time I tried again this year. Followed the directions to the T watering 3 and 4 times a day. NOTHING - NOTHING. Absolutely NO evidence of the "mulch expanding 4X to cover the seed. These patches were scraped and then filled with topsoil with a growing medium before adding this product. Again NOTHING!

RichPB, we're sorry to hear Scotts EZ Seed didn't work as expected. For best results, temperatures should be consistently between 60-80 degrees. Reach out to us here for assistance with our product guarantee: https://www.scotts.com/en-us/help-center

Nice and easy way to cover bare spots

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lawn looks great this year except for a few small areas. Bought this to fill-in and it does a great job. Comes in fast and solid; heavy rain did not wash away at all. I put down some extra product around the edges of the spots and you can barely see where it was!

EZ SPREADING!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is excellent for a number of problem areas on a lawn - especially for a sloping area where there is water runoff. The seed is designed to "hold" onto the soil and germinate. I have had a lot of success with the product and it produced a nice, lush green lawn!

This will always be in my lawn care arsenal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New Grass is growing good. A few bare spots but for the most part this ez seed worked well. I like that is has all the ingredients that you need to repair a bare spot. And it keeps the seed moist because I don't always have the time to water every day.
