Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair for Sun and Shade, 3.75 lbs.

Out of the 3 scotts seed products I used this was the best one. The yard looks weird now because the ez seed patches are the best looking spots. Used along edges and thin patches from high traction areas. Used along with fresh soil* Took about 3 weeks for it to get going. Overseeding is a must because of all the mulch and fertilizer. It can leave thinner spots if the water/rain moves the seeds but leaves the fertilizer and mulch. Watered Twice daily at the beginning and then a single morning water later once it was sprouted, Drought resistant bag had no seeds sprout. Sun/shade regular mix had like a 45% sprout.

Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair is easy to use and convenient for fixing thin or bare areas in the lawn. I like that it works for both sunny and shaded spots, making it versatile for different areas of the yard. The application is simple, and the mix helps cover damaged patches without needing a complicated process. Overall, a practical option for lawn touch-ups and keeping the yard looking fuller.

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.

It’s been over 2 weeks since I applied Scott’s EZ seed. Easy directions to follow you don’t need to be a landscaper. Minimal growth with sporadic blades of grass in the area I applied the seed to. Overall a waste of time and I now realize why it was half off the original price when I purchased it. Don’t waste your time or money.

This stuff is great. People who give it a bad review don’t follow the directions. You need to make holes in the bald spots so the seeds can soak into the ground. You should also soak the area for at least a few days with a hose separate from the sprinklers.

The product has one hidden downfall: There are two components, grass seed and clay. Over time, one settles out. BEFORE you spread the seed, shake to canister to remix the components. Edit: I have been having poor results in some areas with no grass shoots. I shook the container and poured it into a bowl. Imagine my surprise, it was all clay and very little seed. Checked a competely new container and same results. No ware on the container does it give you a ratio of clay to seed.

This stuff works just as it states it will. Had and area that a dog had peed on and turned it yellow. I dug all that up back down to dirt. Filled it in and paid attention to all the do's and don'ts. Nice and green again. All this in about 3 to 4 weeks.

Easy to use. I could see new growth within a week. You can see when the color changes telling you to water.
