What Customers Are Saying
The Scotts EZ Seed product appears to have mixed results. Many customers reported that it was easy to use and effectively filled in bare spots, with the grass growing quickly and blending well. The all-in-one nature of the product, including seed, fertilizer, and mulch, was praised as convenient. However, a significant number of customers also experienced poor or no growth, with better results in sunny areas compared to shaded spots. Overall, the product can be an effective solution for repairing small bare patches, but results may vary depending on factors like soil and sunlight, and customers recommend using it as directed and being patient.

I applied this product as directed and it’s been at least two weeks. I water everyday so that the soil stays brown and damp. The seeds have not opened and sprouted

Works well most of the time.
Most of the time Scotts EZ Seed works great. Seeds geminate at a faster pace than regular seeding. There have been a few times where the germination has been sparse but overall it has worked well for me. If I do have a sparse area that did not germinate I will add more and then it starts to germinate.

Seed does not germinate
It has been around a month and there is no signs of these seeds germinating. At least 50 percent of the seeds should have worked, but there are no signs. This has been very disappointing.

Great product but coverage amount low, price high
Works as advertised. Proper prep and constant watering early fall seeding makes for grass success, But the price for so little grass coverage makes it unlikely buy for most consumers.

I will NEVER purchase SCOTTS products again!!!!
Overall rating is a 0 (ZERO), because 1 is too high. I will NEVER purchase this product or Scotts again. My lawn is filled with the same unidentifiable weeds that were pictured by Bob272727. All of the "We're Sorry" comments do not make up for the time, effort, water, and cost incurred using this product. Now, I am forced to do damage control and remove all of the garbage weeds infesting my lawn that your product was so happy to provide.

Great Product
Wow, this product is fantastic. We had a large trench near our landscaping around half the house that needed new grass, some areas were almost 6 feet wide. All the clay was turned up, so we applied a light topsoil, then EZ seed, watered as directed. It looks fabulous, it's been since May and the color has blended beautifully with our existing lawn. Very pleased.

SPOTTED SPURGE IN GRASS SEED
I have been using EZseed for many years now with no problems. The spots where I put the EZseed down this time has all Spotted Spurge weeds in it! The roots on those weeds are difficult to try to pull up. I hope the quality of their product is not wavering because I will have to switch to another brand.

EZ Seed Patch and Repair a major disappointment.
Thought I would bite the bullet and spend the extra money for a reputable grass seed. Spent significant time prepping the soil. Followed the directions to a tee. Planted at the correct time of season. Watered as suggested. Likely less than 1% germination rate. Entire 10 lb bag generated roughly 20 blades of grass. Seeded area has both sunny and shaded areas so I do not think it is a matter of seed selection. Besides, bag says for sun and shade. If this is representative of Scotts products, I wou...

Disappointed
Wish there was a zero star option. They guarantee it will grow anywhere. Can't even get it to grow in the best environment possible. I hand tilled the bare spots, put the seed down and waited. It was watered, the temp was never below 65, no foot traffic and in sunlight. Not even one blade of grass. Very disappointed.

Overrated
Would Not RecommendThis is Scotts most expensive grass seed product. I have bought and used it 3-4 times and I'm ready to declare it a defective experiment. The weeds germinate at 2-3X the speed of the seed. Coverage is very sparse. Each time I've had to re-plant in order to get coverage. Just buy Scotts sun and shade all purpose seed which is 5 star!!

Easiest way to grow grass
I've tried many different products when it comes to growing grass, with varying results. The Scotts EZ Seed is far and away the best one. Consistently produces healthy, thick grass, usually mowable after 2-3 weeks. All you need to do is keep it wet. No need for straw or any additional fertilizer. Just make sure its consistently moist and the day time temps aren't much higher than 80 or lower than 60. It's expensive but well worth it.

Not worth the money
I tried ez seed & patch 2weeks ago and still no results and was not satisfied. I followed the instructions loosen the ground with a hand tiler, spread the seed using a spreader over about 2" of fertilizer, and put ez-straw to cover It
