Used this multiple times to patch areas of a newly seeded lawn. Mine could have been out of date but it was dead when it hit the soil. No sprouting, growth.. Anything.. Tried clear poly-sheeting to raise the temperature and humidity to no avail. Went back to the old, "good local seed, good soil and peat moss cover method", and everything got back on track. It's a great idea, but I think it needs to be localized more to specific growing zones. Probably something that a local warehouse store could give a rip about..

Recently I bought two bags of this product (one of 20 and another of 40 Lbs). The project I had in mind was very important that even I bought 3 yards of top soil to make sure everything turned out correctly. Viewing videos about this product convinced me to buy it because it seemed easy to use. I did all this on 9/23. A week later I could see that the area where I applied the content of the 20-pound bag began to sprout but was not consistent. 27 days later I'm still waiting for results from the content of the 40 pounds bag. I made sure not to mix the two bags and follow all directions. But I think this only works in small areas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive watched the seed germinate into a lush green lawn in a matter of weeks. The coloring of the grass is a rich green tone similar to marion blue grass seed from decades ago. very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this seed to everyone. I love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in Northwestern Pa. and used this product to fill in some bare spots in my yard the first week of April. I watered daily and some times twice a day to keep the ground moist. The weather here was all over the map, from 28 degree nights to 75 degree days. But by the third week of April the grass stared filling in and by the end of April I was mowing those spots. A great product to use for many different climates. And the best part it has the seed, mulch, and fertilizer all in one easy to use container.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on a part of my lawn where grass died annually. Not only did it come up more quickly than other products I had tried, but it is strong. I would recommend this product to everyone.

I bought several bags of this product to fill in thin spots and patch my large lawn. I followed the instructions to the letter and nothing grew! I can only find one receipt but I i will be claiming the refund. My neighbor used a different brand and got very good results so I am going to use it next time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we used this to fill in spots in the yard. It seemed to work great for the job at hand. It was easy to apply and we lucked out as had lots of rain so didnt need to worry about keeping it moist. Would recommend this to anyone

Interesting reviews. This may be part of the issue? I do not see any discussion on pre emergent fertilization use with new grass seed?? Scott’s seems to be missing this issue in their comment and disclosure for proper use? Maybe I missed it, but I have always been told once you put a Crabgrass pre emergent on your lawn your ability to grow grass stops. You have to wait till fall. Scott’s, please address and insure this situation is in your instructions, if a true statement for all your customers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Scott's EZseed in an area that we just had an underground downspout installed so the soil was nice and loose as indicated in the directions. It's been a full 2 wks since applying and the new grass is about 1 inch tall now. The first week daytime temps were btwn 60 and 80, although nights were still cool. Watered everyday with a water can to keep moist. I was worried in the 2nd week as we had colder temps and continuous rain - sometimes hard rain - but the seedlings still sprouted and all looks promising. Just a side note; a portion of this area stays shaded but all seems to be growing evenly. So patch and repair really does grow in both sun and shade!

I used this product to reseed thin shaded areas and several bare areas in my lawn. I hand spread the product and was careful to have some dirt showing as instructed and kept it moist. Grass grew well in planting areas where the mulch that is included in the product happened to be amply applied. Seeds did not germinate elsewhere. I believe that there is not enough mulch in the product and the mulch is not evenly distributed in the bag. I used a 40 lb bag.
