[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product during the very dry summer months and waited until the rains started in the fall. The EZ Seed Repair Sun and Shade Seed Patch was easy to see so I could apply it evenly and once watered, the expandable mulch pellets protected the seed from washing away on the shaded sloped site. The grass came up thickly and looks wonderful 6 months later after a nasty wet winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has features that allow the seed to stay in place since it has mulch mixed in with the seed. Also, once watered the mulch allows the seed to stay moist enough for germination. This item is great for patching, not for a large area. When used the seed came in quickly and filled in the area nicely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good product not a great product. What determined this description was not so much because of the product but the ground conditions required to make it work. Ground prep is a must, if you have dogs you need to fence off the area or you just wasted your time and money. If you don't have dogs I would suggest putting some straw or other cover over the patched area or the birds will thinks it's a buffet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent product and works wonderfully!! I seriously recommend this product especially if you have brown spots. It watered properly it will grow within two weeks. I am pleased with the results and would use it again in a heartbeat!!

I bought this product thinking it would be simple and easy to use. Instead, (I have arthritis), it took me 15 minutes to find a way to pry open the "easy open" lid. Imagine my surprise, when I now see a black plastic piece inside and a small white "cover" under that. NO instruction on what to do next. Should I try to break the black plastic piece so I can get to the white seal underneath? It appears to be welded in place, so I started poking at the white seal. Again, NO instruction, no arrow, no poke here. I finally got a small wedge of an opening, and after using a knife, scissors, and finally a screwdriver to poke it into the container was able to actually see the product. It took forever to spread since the white plastic kept resurfacing and getting in the way of the opening for the product. Never again. PS - nothing on your website about how to open either.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW! This product is not only easy to utilize but the results were absolutely amazing and quick. I had numerous spots in my yard that I simply could not get grass to grow for some reason. After following the very easy to understand instructions I have great grass in those locations. In fact these locations look so great, lush, full, and green that I simply wish I could do my whole yard with this. I wish I would had taken before and after photos to share.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this product was magic. It grew and filled in the spots in the lawn within a week. Two issues with the grass moving forward. The grass didnt match up at all texture wise or color wise. None of the grass survived the winter either and all my bare spots were back come spring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product not only works, it is as the name suggests "easy" too use. Everything you need is in the container. Just ruff up the patch spot, sprinkle and water. Done! The grass will grow and your bare spot will be fixed.
