Never worked.

We're sorry to hear you had several unsuccessful attempts to seed your lawn with the Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Grass Seed. It is certainly frustrating to go to the work of reseeding an area, only to have the results less than satisfactory. Water is an important factor in successful seeding. The newly seeded areas must be kept constantly moist for weeks on end. Allowing the soil to dry out even for an hour during the critical germination phase can result in seedling death. This may require that you give the seeded areas a light watering two to three times a day for the first few weeks. After that, you will still need to keep the seedlings watered on a regular basis. The soil should feel moist like a wrung out sponge. Two "enemies" of newly seeded lawns are herbicides and lawn diseases. While you have very little control over the outbreak of a lawn disease, do make sure that no weed control or weed prevention chemical has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass. Finally, temperature plays a critical role in seed germination. Soil temperatures must be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit for the grass seed to germinate. Air temperature must typically be between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Seeds will not germinate if the temperatures are cold at night, or are fluctuating from high day temperature to very low night time temperatures. Very hot weather will also inhibit seed germination. We hope you find this information helpful and we want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

We are sorry to hear that the Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass and Grassy Weed Preventer did not prevent crabgrass as you expected. Crabgrass sprouts once temperatures reach 80 degrees in the spring, growing rapidly and producing seeds until the first killing frost in the fall. When applied according to the label directions Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass and Grassy Weed Preventer will prevent crabgrass for up to 4 months. The areas should not be reseeded during this time frame. For additional assistance please contact us by using the following link. http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

Weed seeds are exposed when the soil is turned and will germinate right along with the new seed. We want you to be confident in our products.
