I never write reviews and this was warranted: I bought over 100$ worth of product to seed a 20' by 20' area and with in 3 weeks my yard was 100% covered from edge to edge in nothing but weeds. I'd say less than 1% was actually grass seed. I tried watering what my previous yard was for a month or two and sure I had a few weeds here and there but I would pick them by hand on the weekends and nothing really grew in so I decided to reseed. Once I put the seed down everything grew just fine but it was ALL WEEDS. My neighbor bought the same bags from the same store and he had the exact same results. It's clear that it came from the see because of how patchy it is and there are no weeds where I didn't lay down seed. At a loss for how terrible this product is.

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.

If you have nice green manicured grass, don't use this product to fill in bare spots. The blades of grass are wide and light green, it looks like weeds. This might be good for erosion control or somewhere you don't care what it looks like. I used it in front of my house around a tree. It did grow, but it is ugly grass. I'll be spraying that whole area with Roundup towards the end of the summer and starting over with better seed in the fall.

Had some small spots that did not grow, but overall product worked well and as advertised. Be careful of slopped areas as I have found after heavy rain or over watering you will have the product run off and clump. I have spread it out again gently and it still worked. Overall satisfied with 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff grows almost anywhere. I find it will even grow in patches where I have spread crabgrass preventer. While it minimizes water needs over other products, I still recommend some light water every day, esp in windy or hot conditions. It is a little expensive, so it is not a great value for large areas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Scotts® EZ Seed® Patch & Repair Sun and Shade in some bare spots caused by last summers drought and was thrilled with the results and ease of using this product. My lawn has never looked better and I used the seed in both shady and sunny areas of the yard and it works fantastic in both areas I definitely will use this product again if needed.

I purchased this product along with Turf Builder 1.5 cu. ft. Lawn Soil to fill in a bare patch in my lawn. The grass began to grow in nicely and I was really very happy. I came out one morning to water the grass and the ENTIRE patch had been taken over by one type of weed. This weed isn't present anywhere else in my yard (or my neighbors' yards, I checked). I wanted to test and make sure that it really was the fault of these products so I used both the EZ Seed and the LawnSoil to grow a patch of grass in a container. The grass began to grow and then the entire container was taken over by the same weed. My lawn is far from perfect. You can see that by looking at the photo I've uploaded with this review. I have dandelions and thistle and a few other kinds of weeds as well. But this was supposed to be a step towards fixing the lawn and instead it just introduced another weed into the mix. In the photo you can see EXACTLY where the grass seed was planted because it's EXACTLY the same area as the patch of weeds. I planned on seeding the other area of bare soil in the photo at the same time as this patch but I'm glad I didn't waste my time. What a huge waste of money and all the time and effort I put into preparing the bare patch of my lawn for seeding. I have to start over from scratch and I won't be using ANY Scotts products this time around.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Scotts® EZ Seed® Patch & Repair Tall Fescue to repair the yellow spots my dog had created in my yard. It was extremely easy to use and I am very pleased that the grass grew in quickly and fully.
