This product is not very good!

I purchased the 20 lb. bag of EZ Seed for a 300 sq. ft. area. The grass grew in patches and after the grass got to a height of about 2 inches, it grew no taller. The product is way over priced for the results it produces!

We are sorry to hear about the disappointment you have experienced as a result of your recent seeding effort. We'd like to offer a few tips that may be helpful to you in future seeding endeavors. Scotts EZ Seed requires both continuous moisture and warm soil temperatures. You also must be sure to spread the EZ Seed Sun & Shade evenly over the prepared area. The seed should be sparsely applied to the depth of about 1/16" to 1/8" thick. If the product 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. Temperature also plays a critical role in seedling germination. Soil temperatures for this particular product must be at least 55° F for the 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. Seeds will not germinate if the temperatures are cold at night, or are fluctuating from high day temperature to very low night time temperatures.We truly hope these extra tips are helpful. We want you to be confident in our products, this is why we offer a product guarantee. If you would like to further discuss this, please contact us here: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

Did not perform

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As long as I watered every other day it stayed green, when i let Mother Nature take over it died off. I was not impressed with the product.

We are sorry to hear about the experience you had. Keeping new seedlings wet is as important as watering before germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times per day until established. Then, we recommend watering about 1 - 1-1/2" per week as needed. If you would like to further discuss your situation, please contact us here: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Produced LESS results than regular grass seed.

I seeded several areas of my lawn with Scotts grass seed and then with EZ seed. I watered diligently morning and night. The grass seed grew, the ez seed did not. Way overpriced for nothing.

We're sorry to hear that you didn't get the results you expected with the EZ Seed. There are four things that may cause EZ Seed to not germinate properly. You must have moisture, moderate temperatures, no use of weed control in the area and the application should be 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. If any one of these things is missing then there may be little to no germination. We hope that you find this information helpful and we want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. Visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n for more information.

Good if you want clover and weeds

Filled in a 4x3 area and all that's growing is my old grass and clover. None of this magical snake oil seed .... And conveniently I can't add a photo because everyone I try to add is " too large".

We apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced after using Scotts EZ Seed Sun and Shade. Soil preparation tends to bring the weed seeds closer to the surface allowing them to germinate. Keep in mind that we offer a guarantee and that you can contact us at the following link to discuss it: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

Great for bare spots in yard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy product to use with professional results. Just make sure you continue to shake the container, so that the mulch mixes with the grass seed and fertilizer.

Easy as 1-2-3

This seed has been the easiest to grow in all conditions throughout our yard. I use it every spring and fall to fill in dead spots. The grass has been great!
