Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair for Sun and Shade, 3.75 lbs. | Combination Mulch, Sun and Shade Grass Seed & Fertilizer for Bare Spots & Lawn Patch Repair, Covers up to 85 sq. ft.

I had a dead spot in my yard towards a back alley that never grew. Been over 20 years never had grass on it. Nothing ever grew there no matter what I did. Until, I found Scotts EZ Seed. The day I got the product in the mail, I went out to the alley where my dead spot in my yard is. 1st, I raked the dirt with a metal rake. 2, I sprinkled the Scotts EZ Seed all over it. 3, I watered the spot. Make sure not to have it soaked to the point it pools everywhere. After the 1st day of watering, I Watered once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. Within 10 days, The whole dead spot was covered in grass!!! But, You have to water it at least twice a day for it to really work. Overall I highly recommend Scotts EZ Seed it truly grows anywhere!!!

I’ve used this at three different homes and it’s a little expensive but you have more to worry about… just water it in the beginning extensively and it’ll fill in with minimal effort.

It works if you closely follow the instructions. I bought this since it said it grew in shaded areas. I had a large patch of dirt that needed to regrow grass in an area with very little sunlight. I was hoping I could just sprinkle it on and have some regrow in a couple of weeks. I spread it around and then made sure to water it regularly. After a week I could see some sprouting in areas that got more sun. After another week the areas with growth had a decent density of grass coming through. Other areas I got nothing. So I went back to the empty areas and made sure to follow the instructions on prepping. The empty areas received less sunlight so I knew they would be problematic. After a week I saw some sprouting come through. Another week and have some decent growth. So it will work if you do the prepping and maintenance. I had other spots in my lawn that I just threw some straw on, but these areas aren't so picky. The EZ seed did regrow quicker than the just strawed areas which is what I was hoping for. Is the density and variety of grass perfect? Well it has left some room to be desired. Was it as EZ as advertised? Not exactly as EZ as they make it seem. So I would recommend the product but it would come with some caveats.

VERY DISAPPOINTED! Over a period of 2 months I used this container 3 times in the same areas several weeks apart and watered appropriately. No seed germinated at all, and I first prepared each the areas with fresh topsoil. I’ve used the product before and it has worked, but I believe those were bought at local Home Depot and Lowe’s. I am suspicious that Scott’s ships an inferior product to Amazon, which retails $5 or more cheaper than at Home Depot or Lowe’s, but it’s not worth the time and effort if the seed doesn’t germinate.

After a long winter of my dog being hard on the grass, I ordered this each spring to repair the urine patch that was created over the winter. It is easy to use and very effective makes the grass grow quickly and thick. I first fertilize with lime and gypsum to neutralize the soil then I use this grass seed and then I put about a half an inch of topsoil over it and just water the heck out of it every day and I have beautiful grass growing within two weeks. it’s my spring go to for my yard every year.

I got this for the guarantee grass results, but was left with 50/50 results. In some areas, you can tell the grass grows and comes in well filling out bare patches. In other areas, this stuff does not work. The big drawback is you can probably do way better just going to your local store and buying a bag of grass seed and testing your luck that way. You can probably even use this product's bucket to fill and spread the seed if you don't have the room for a regular spreader.

Arrived exactly as advertised. Works great! Very pleased.
