Easy to repair those bald spots in your lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nows the time to get your lawn looking great for the summer months, With Scott’s ezseed you can repair the bald spots in your lawn. Just rake the soil in those bald spots and apply ezseed and water. Soon the bald spots are gone and you have a beautiful lawn.

Inconsistent Results

This was the 2nd year in a row I tried this product. I found it on sale at 1/2 off so I bought it again. It grew in one spot which was in a shaded area and did not grow in a sunny area. I will go back to using add'l seed along with the patchmaster (green) product.

We're sorry to hear you didn't get the results you expected. Try reseeding the sunny area in the fall when you have at least 30 days before your first hard frost. The grass most likely couldn't survive the harsh summer conditions. If you can get the seed established before next summer, you should see better results. 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.

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.

EZ seed is EASY to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is so easy to use it truly can grow grass anywhere. I had a bare spot in my back yard that only gets a little sun and EZ Seed was able to get green grass growing in as little as a week.

Perfect for patches too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this seed! The key that most people forget is that you HAVE to keep the seed moist. As long as you water on a regular schedule you should be fine. After a few weeks when you see the grass blades coming up quite a bit you can cut back on your schedule a little bit at a time.

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.

Didn't work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried it once following the instructions carefully. No results. Bought more to try it again and made double sure I followed the instructions. Guess what. Didn't work again. I have always liked Scott's products in the past but this one I definitely do not.

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. I 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. 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 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.

Worked Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used Scotts ezseed in a large shady area in my yard which had become rather barren. The results were outstanding. Raked the area a bit and sprinkled the grass seed. Watered the area thoroughly and continued daily watering for a couple more days. Grass seedlings began to surface within ten days and I now have green grass growing in this area. Very easy to apply with the shaker and no other effort or product required. Extremely pleased with my results.

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.
