Grass seed that definitely grows on you!

This grass seed gets the job done in both sun and shade. It is easy and effective, and the grass looks amazing.

Not Growing

We followed the directions and applied this 4 weeks ago. As of today, we have no new grass growing. This is very disappointing and too expensive not to work.

Hello Massy. We&#39;re sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts EZSeed Patch &amp; Repair Sun And Shade and appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />To get the best results, we suggest applying Scotts Ez Seed Patch &amp; Repair Sun And Shade when your soil temperatures are at least 55 degrees and air temperatures are consistently above 65 degrees. Too much or not enough water can inhibit germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times a day to keep the seeds moist until germination. Afterward, we suggest watering 1-1 1/2&#34; per week as needed. If there was any weed control used prior to seeding, it will prevent the seeds from germinating. <br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

We&#39;re sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts EZ Seed Patch &amp; Repair Sun And Shade and appreciate your feedback.<br />For best results, this product should be applied when daytime temperatures are consistently in the 65℉ range for cool season grasses and in the 85℉ range for warm season grasses: the warmer the soil, the faster the germination. Cool or fluctuating nighttime temperatures will slow germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times per day to keep the seeds moist until they germinate and then 1&#34; to 1-1/2&#34; per week as needed. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit germination.<br />We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

IT WORKS AS ADVERTISED !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied EZ SEED Patch & Repair to several small bare patches (each from foot print size to 3/4sq.ft.) in our lawn in late April. Thanks to EZ Seed & an abundance of rainfall, each of those patches has either vanished or is less than a 4" X 4" patch.

Very disappointing

I purchased a 20lb bag of this seed despite a lot of bad reviews. I've learned my lesson. Despite plenty of water, warm temperatures, and over 6 weeks of waiting, I don't think we've seen a single blade of grass sprout! Somehow I let myself get convinced by the "grows anywhere" advertisement. Scott's has usually been pretty reliable for us in the past but this was my first #and last# experience with EZ seed. I'll go back to using regular seed with lawn-starter mulch. It worked well for us last year, but I had decided to try a one-step approach this time, despite the very high pricetag. I'm just glad they have a guarantee. Now I just have to figure out how to make a claim...

We are sorry that you have experienced problems while using Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade. Generally, we recommend seeding in late spring when temperatures are warm not only during the day, but at night also. 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 degrees F for seed to germinate. For best results, daytime temperatures must typically be in the 60-80 degree F. range and not going below 50 degrees 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. The best time to seed cool season grasses is early to mid-fall. One major "enemy" of a newly seeded lawn is herbicide. Make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new 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. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

Good Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has features that allow the seed to stay in place since it has mulch mixed in with the seed. Also, once watered the mulch allows the seed to stay moist enough for germination. This item is great for patching, not for a large area. When used the seed came in quickly and filled in the area nicely.

Two green thumbs up for your product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every year after a long winter we suffer mole damage in many spots of our yard. With EZ Seed the repair is EZ and looks great. This product has saved time and backache.The neighbors have done the same and thank me for showing it to them. The thanks go to Scotts for an excellent product.
