Easy Way to Fix Bare Spots

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My lawn really suffered from the past winter, and I had many bare spots in my lawn. I chose Scott's EZ Patch and Repair Sun and Shade because my lawn is mostly shaded and it is hard to grow grass. I saw that this product includes seed and a medium to help keep it moist and to prevent it from blowing away. I was careful to follow the directions to the letter. I loosened the dirt first and was careful not to apply too much product to one area. I was diligent about watering every day, sometimes twice a day for the first two weeks. 7 days after applying to all of the bare spots I saw no change but on day 10 little green grass sprouts began poking through the brown mixture containing the seeds. After 19 days, I would estimate that of all the bare spots where I applied this product, about 75% have sprouts now. I'm especially pleased that no weeds are sprouting too! I hope to see more new grass in the coming days.

Great Spot Repair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the easiest seed to use in order to repair spots and small areas in your lawn. Simply prep the area as directed, apply EZ Seed, Water Regularly, and in a week the spot will be filled in with perfect color and size grass... Fantastic Product!

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.

Doesn't last

I've grown our lawn from this biannually for the past 3-4 years. I put down burlap during germination and it sprouts. If I don't, it doesn't. I can get it going for a few weeks. I put up barriers to keep people off, keep it moist until it's established, etc. It grows lush and thick under our tree, but it never lasts more than a season and it's a dust bowl again. In the sun, it sprouts in the spring and grows til about June when it withers and dies and it turns into a dustbowl again. The first time someone steps on it, it dies (Even after it is 4-5 inches long. I've literally seen footprint shaped spots where it's died from stepping on it once.) In the fall, when it's cool enough to plant again, I get it to sprout, but it dies as soon as the frost and snows hit and never fully establishes itself. If I overseed hoping it will sprout in the spring, nothing happens. It's a lot of effort to put in multiple times a year.

Great color, fast growing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as sample to test last fall. It was to late to provide honest feedback because temps were already freezing at night. I planted it in a shaded spot that we have had a hard time getting grass to grow. Since it was so late in the season I over seeded the area after loosening the soil an 1" deep. Planted per package instructions and water accordingly. I was surprised to see that the seed germinated and was filling in nicely. Then it snowed and snowed. I figured that it was done. To my pleasant surprise this spring it filled the bare area with a deep rich green grass even though our temperature has been 10 degrees below normal and our rainfall is a record setting 21.09" when our yearly norm is 11". I highly recommend this grass.

this product works great!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used it many times and as recently as yesterday. I first used it to repair damage done by my puppies from digging & peeing. I also used it to repair damage caused by the winter weather. It comes in fast and looks great.

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.

the grass that i got to grow was great, but the weeds.

i completely re did my whole lawn. i killed all of the old grass. i used 2 -3 inches of the best soil i could buy. Grass came in and was gorgeous. But the weeds that grew with the grass. Also amazing. I've never seen weeds like these. They looked alot like crab grass. The gras would grow many sprouts from one roots. But would grow to the size of a dinner plate. There was so many. I could not control them. I had to round up the whole area killing everything including the grass. I also had these weeds grow that looked like little trees that would grow about 3 inches tall but spread wide like plague. I've never seen anything like it. Everywhere. So i started from scratch. New seed. Grew in well. But once again. These dang weeds grew again. With a vengeance. 2 years of trying to get this right. I'm so frustrated

EZ Seed (Easy Seed) is appropriately named,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has proven to be one of Scott’s most innovative products that has been brought to the lawncare market in a long time. The stuff actually does the job that it promises. What a great success story. We always wonder about the science that goes into these “grows anywhere guaranteed products”, but by golly, it does. We always question the selection of grass seeds included and we wonder, how do they know what really grows, but they do. We strongly recommend it.

Not a fan of scotts

Horrible product!

I ran out of my good grass seed. This was readily available. I will never use this product again. Not one single blade of grass from the entire container! The good quality seed right next to where this was used grew quickly and thick. Same sun, shade, water, dirt, etc. I have not been a fan of scotts brand for years, this has turned me against the products for good.
