Waste of money

Would Not Recommend

I paid a premium for this grass seed because my hope was that the claims were true. I even purchased the Scotts grass soil to increase my odds of success. Unfortunately, the claims seem to be far from the truth. I laid the seed over 3 weeks ago and have yet to see any grass spouting and we have had plenty of rain this spring. My recommendation would be, save your money and buy ordinary grass seed. Don't pay extra for a product that doesn't live up to the hype.

Great results for overseeding

Would Recommend

Used this to overseed some thin areas in my yard and overall I'm happy with it. Germination was slower than I expected based on the "rapid" branding, but once it got going the growth was solid and the coverage filled in nicely. Works well in both sun and shade areas, which was a big plus for my yard. Docking one star just because it took longer to get started than advertised — set realistic expectations and you won't be disappointed. Would buy again.
