I never write reviews and this was warranted: I bought over 100$ worth of product to seed a 20' by 20' area and with in 3 weeks my yard was 100% covered from edge to edge in nothing but weeds. I'd say less than 1% was actually grass seed. I tried watering what my previous yard was for a month or two and sure I had a few weeds here and there but I would pick them by hand on the weekends and nothing really grew in so I decided to reseed. Once I put the seed down everything grew just fine but it was ALL WEEDS. My neighbor bought the same bags from the same store and he had the exact same results. It's clear that it came from the see because of how patchy it is and there are no weeds where I didn't lay down seed. At a loss for how terrible this product is.

Bought it with high hopes. Spread easily, kept it watered so the color was right based on instructions. Nothing so far after nearly a month. Had some warm days and cooler days but maybe it's not hot enough yet? Who knows. Recent reviews and results compared to older ones makes me wonder if something went wrong with production.

I purchased this from my local hardware store in early spring this year and regret wasting my money. I had a section of the lawn that I need to reseed and decided to spend the extra money on this product rather than using the usual grass seed I use. I raked the section, watered the ground and applied the product as instructed. I then watered again to allow the mulch to absorb th water. I continued to water for the next couple of weeks, hoping I would have a great stand of grass by the end of spring. Well, it is now the end of May and it looks as if I did very little. I am not sure if there was any grass seed in the container. I have very little grass in the section that it was applied and I will now have to reseed this fall. I am extremely disappointed in this product. For the price of this product, I was hoping for a nice stand of grass. Instead I got a few blades and the rest is still dirt. Do not waste your money.

I’ve used Scott’s products for years and hadn’t had any issues until now. I used and plastic jug of the EZ seed and it mostly grew weeds, very disappointed with this. I’ve attached pics of the small area I had to seed and you’ll see many different weeds and not a lot of grass and good looking turf.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on a number of small bare patches (12" X 6" in size). I roughed up the soil and applied the product. The key was keeping it moist. In 2 - 3 weeks I had a good starting turf that has really taken hold.

I really wasn't sure what to expect after reading all of the reviews. I followed the directions exactly. Very thin layer and bag covered exactly what was listed on the bag. I started out by raking all of the area were I planned to spread the EZ Seed. I would estimate 50% of my back yard was either dead or missing. I have a large male dog and suspect both urine damage and grub damage were the culprit. I am guilty of neglecting the lawn in the few years I've lived in this house. After clearing the area, I waited for it to rain that evening. In the morning I raked the area again since the soil was soft - roughing up about 1/4". I spread the EZ Seed per instructions on the bag - thin enough to see bare dirt though the mix. After spreading a thin layer I watered the area lightly, let it dry and watered again. I noticed that a good portion of the seed had come to the surface. I raked everything around and watered it again. After settling over night I raked it around again and watered lightly. This was to make sure the seed was mixed well into the soil and mix. We had a full week of rain with little to no sun. After that week I watered three times a day - morning, lunch and right after work. Just enough to keep it wet. It has been four weeks since spreading the EZ Seed and I can no longer see bare dirt in my backyard. The new grass is about 2" right now. I continue to lightly water three times a day since we haven't had any good rain. As skeptical as I was initially about this product I am surprised how well it looks and has filled in. I did luck out and catch a 50% off sale at Lowes so I bought the 20lb bag. Knowing that it works I would feel comfortable purchasing this product at street price. The biggest advice I would give is to spread it thin and keep it wet. Water!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use ezseed to fill in some of the bare spots in my lawn, it grew fast but did not fill out / spread to fill in the spots. so i had to i put down more of ezseed to fill in the spots. now my lawn looks great with no bare spot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to fill in some bare spots around a large pine tree in my yard. Using this product was very easy with new grass appearing in less than ten days with watering on a daily basis. I am extremely satisfied with the results. Thank you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was so easy and it worked great. Our dog had made a few bare spots in the backyard over the winter. I used a hard rake to loosen the soil and clean out dead grass. I sprinkled on EzSeed and it came out brown. Once it got wet it expanded and darkened up as it absorbed the water 7-10 days later grass was popping up. Great product Thanks!

I LOVE this product! I just spread it down, watered it, and BAM!!!! The grass seeds grew just as promised. The only problem I had were the ducks in my yard trying to eat up the seeds, but I will DEFINITELY be using this for the rest of my yard. LOVE IT! Thanks, Scotts!!!
