Fixed my lawn's bald spot!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a bare spot on my back lawn which I had been working on for the past few years. Nothing I tried seemed to work. Scott's EZ Seed did the trick. I followed the directions and soon saw new grass poking up where nothing had grown for a while.

No directions on how to open

I bought this product thinking it would be simple and easy to use. Instead, (I have arthritis), it took me 15 minutes to find a way to pry open the "easy open" lid. Imagine my surprise, when I now see a black plastic piece inside and a small white "cover" under that. NO instruction on what to do next. Should I try to break the black plastic piece so I can get to the white seal underneath? It appears to be welded in place, so I started poking at the white seal. Again, NO instruction, no arrow, no poke here. I finally got a small wedge of an opening, and after using a knife, scissors, and finally a screwdriver to poke it into the container was able to actually see the product. It took forever to spread since the white plastic kept resurfacing and getting in the way of the opening for the product. Never again. PS - nothing on your website about how to open either.

We are sorry that you found it difficult to apply Scotts EZ Seed Bermudagrass. The cap of the container would have to be removed so that the white seal can be disposed of. Once the cap is replaced, it can be utilized as a spout to dispense grass seeds. We do offer a guarantee on our products. Please contact us, we would be more than happy to discuss this further with you. You can reach us here: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

Too hard to grow during extreme heat and sun without constant watering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the seed in various locations in yard. In partial sun areas, had better luck. In full sun and with heat over 90 many days and while away for extended time, grass did not germinate as I was unable to ensure that seeded area was always moist. Received this seed to late in growing season, needed to be put down in late April or May to take advantage of cooler temperatures and more rain.

Easy to apply and grows nice green grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to apply container and hold. For best results follow the easy instructions on the back. Grass comes up in the usual time for new grass. Keep watered and you will be rewarded with beautiful green grass.

Great for Patching

[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.

So simple!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a couple of planters on my lawn and when I finally moved them it left me with a couple of bare patches. Scotts® EZ Seed® Patch & Repair made it a breeze to get grass growing again on these spots. With a combination of mulch, seed, & fertilizer all in on dispenser all you need to do is shake an appropriate amount onto the bare spots and water it in. I used this product a couple weeks ago and I already have quite a bit of new grass coming up!

Has the right ingredients

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything in the product is properly mixed, has the right ingredients that you need so you don't have to buy a bag of seed through the seat down and then add topsoil over the seed to keep it moist. It is all done for you

Didn't perform as expected.

We purchased this product at Lowes to fill in bare area after having some trees removed. We followed directions but not have any grass grow to speak of. We used Scotts lawn soil and fertilizer. We had at least 4 inches of soil and used Turf Builder starter per the directions. (The label says that type can be used when planting new grass) Scotts products are usually pretty dependable but this time EZ Seed fizzled...

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.

Didnt work at all- surprising

I bought a 3.5 gallon size as it looks like a great idea for some spots I had. After 2 weeks of watering, mixed in good soil, good sun, etc not a single strand of grass has started, seriously...not one. The "Guaranteed" on the front label made me think that this might be average. But it was worse than I expected from Scotts.
