Nothing but crabgrass in a can. AVOID

Bought this 3 weeks ago to fill in a couple bare spots in my lawn, and it ended up being nothing but straight crabgrass. Now I have an even worse problem with a TON of crabgrass spreading all over my front lawn and it looks absolutely horrible. Just wanted to fill in a few bare spots and ended up with a terrible crabgrass filled front lawn that looks exponentially worse than before I added the Scott’s EZ Seed. Would give 0 stars if I could. DO NOT USE and avoid this stuff like the plague

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts® EZ Seed® Patch & Repair Sun and Shade and appreciate your feedback. Our grass seed is harvested in June/July, well before the time of crabgrass maturity which occurs during late summer when it sets seed. Therefore it's not possible our crop can be contaminated with crabgrass seeds. It is normal to have some weeds germinate when seeding. Soil preparation brings weed seeds to the surface. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Very good!

Bought this product to reseed lawn full of bare spots due to grubs. First raked out old grass, sticks etc. and loosened remaining dirt. Sprinkled Scott ‘s product , as recommended, to just cover exposed soil. Then sprinkled top soil over top of product to just cover it. This kept birds from eating seed, wind and lawn mowers from blowing it away, and rain and water from moving seed. Watered twice a day. Saw first blades of grass at about 4-5 days. After about 3 weeks, grass had grown in so well, I couldn’t tell new growth with existing lawn. Great!

No gardening skills necessary.

Easy to use and it works. Saved myself $850.00 not having to pay someone to lay down sod.

Don’t waste your money

Waste of money. Followed instructions and zero germination. Bad seed.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts EZ Seed for Tall Fescue Lawns and appreciate your feedback.Different grasses germinate at different times. Germination times on label are based upon the grass type in the bag that will germinate the quickest. For Cool Season Grasses (Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and Fescue) Soil temperatures must be at least 55 degrees (+12.7 Celsius) for grass seed to germinate. The warmer the soil, the faster the germination. This generally requires daytime temperatures consistently in the 65+ degrees (18.3 Celsius) range for cool season grasses, and 80+ (27+ Celsius) for warm season grasses. In the spring it takes a lot of consistent warm temperatures to warm up the soil, especially in the northern states. Cool night-time temperatures and fluctuating temperatures will slow germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times per day to keep the seeds moist, until seed germinates. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. Weed control used prior to seeding such as a Crabgrass Preventer will prevent seed from germinating.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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Expensive but does the job

The mix is really light and does work, but keeping it alive is another story. I tried to grow grass on the edge of my lawn by the street. Nothing grows! Except this...then it died too. It's expensive for what you are getting. It's seed, starter fertilizer and light moss/cardboard/wood shreddings (I think). You can create your own mix for a lot less. It's convenience to have this mix and it's also "guarantee to grow." But it's NOT guarantee to stay alive. Best of luck!
