Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, 3 lb. - Lawn Fertilizer for Newly Planted Grass

Seed came up good but died

I de-thatched and aerated my Burmuda yard this spring to seed plant some Tall Fescue. The first picture is the day I planted and used the starter from Scotts. The second picture is 1 month later. I applied the fertilizer TWICE and watered the yard a lot (It’s Fescue). Now I’ve been able to back off the watering to a couple of times per week. Yes, it worked for me and I would recommend, but I would also recommend that you apply more than ones- probably space it out by a couple of weeks.

Since I use this product on my grass, the grass got so dark green and grew in beautifully

I spent the past week filling in low spots and leveling the back yard with 5 yards of topsoil. It was a lot of work hauling the dirt up 5 steps but a motorized wheelbarrow was expensive but a great help. After all that effort and expense I chose a quality Pennington grass seed and Scotts Starter Fertilizer. A combination that has worked well for me in the past.

I had planted some grass seed, covered it with an 3/4 inch of soil, to patch a bare area. I watered it 3 times daily and the grass seed was so slow to grow. After about 7 days I was getting concerned so I bought this Scott's starter fertilizer and scattered some on top of the planted area, this was about 11am. I watered before dusk. The next morning I noticed grass starting to pop up. I watered again and by 5pm I had grass growing up to 3/4 inch. Almost like a miracle. So my opinion is this starter fertilizer works very well and based on what I have seen I would not plant grass seed without adding it from day one.
