Grass did not grow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this down and all i had was blue grass seed for weeks. Bought seed from a local shop and it grew in and I could still see blue seed in the new grass which never grew from this product.

Product works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have previously used this product with great results. I have both shade and sun to contend with so this product is exactly what I need.

Extremely bad choice

Should have read the reviews before purchasing this product. DO NOT buy it. Followed directions to a "T". Temperature was perfect, watered as recommended, covered with straw, added Scotts fertilizer….2 weeks, nothing. Big waste of money.

We are sorry that you have experienced problems while using Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix. Generally, we recommend seeding in late spring when temperatures are warm not only during the day, but at night also. Temperature plays a critical role in seedling germination. Soil temperatures for northern (cool season) type turfgrass seed (Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue) must be at least 55 degrees F for seed to germinate. For best results, daytime temperatures must typically be in the 60-80 degree F. range and not going below 50 degrees F at night. Seeds will not germinate if the temperatures are cold at night, or are fluctuating from high day temperature to very low night time temperatures. The best time to seed cool season grasses is early to mid-fall. One major "enemy" of a newly seeded lawn is herbicide. Make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product 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. 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 contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

A very good product to use if you want to overseed in winter for a full lawn in spring

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this product every year in winter to overseed. I always have a full thick grass lawn in spring as a result. Recommend everyone to try it.

Excellent product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used this product for years, in a yard that is exposed to the sun, but also has a lot of shade trees, especially on the South side. This seed seems very effective and durable.

great product...a bit expensive but I guess quality comes with a price. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product. I use it every year through the season for thickening and spring seeding. Highly recommend all Scotts to friends and family

This seed grew in poor soil and shade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally got grass to grow under a tree in poor soil. It took watering daily for a few days and I had sprouting grass.
