Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair Tall Fescue Lawns, 3.75 lb. - Combination Mulch, Seed, and Fertilizer - Tackifier Reduces Seed Wash-Away - Mix Covers up to 85 sq. ft. (17511)

It takes a bit to germinate but once it gets growing the results are good. I have put down other products that refuse to sprout. Ease of coverage and good results

I bought Scott’s EZ Seed Patch based on a ChatGPT recommendation, and I couldn't be happier! The product worked exactly as promised—I followed the simple instructions: removed dead grass, scratch the soil, spread the seed, and watered twice a day. In just 2-3 weeks, new grass started growing! It was easy to use and delivered great results. I was so impressed that I ordered a bigger bag to cover the rest of my backyard. If you're looking for an effective and hassle-free way to repair your St Augustine lawn, this is it! Highly recommend!

I have crab grass that's been filling up our entire backyard ever since we bought our home seven years ago. Crab grass grows fast and is an invasive weed. Because it's weed, I learned that you can slowly kill crab grass by watering less often and deeper into the soil so that only good grass' roots can get water. With that in mind, I wanted to put that knowledge to the test by ripping out some large portions of crab grass from the back yard. (TIP: water the soil a bit so it's easier to rip the crab grass out)Once the ground was bare soil, I loosened it up a bit and pulled out any remaining crab grass/dead weed. Next, I sprinkled this Scotts seed (Tall Fescue grass) onto a small section to see what would happen. NOTHING GREW. I was disappointed. Then I read the instructions on the packaging:1. Spread the seeds/fertilizer into the ground2. Loosen/turn the soil3. Water daily as needed to keep the soil moist for the first 2 weeksI changed my sprinkler to water every 2 days for 5 minutes. End result? Grass grew after a week, and now it has increasingly become fuller! See photos for the results!Once the grass has grown acceptably, I will change the sprinkler system to water less frequently again (but deeper through cycle soaking) in order to starve the crab grass weed of water and to help the new grass establish deeper roots.SUMMARY: water often in the first 2 weeks to help sprout the new grass. Once it's established, water less frequently (but cycle soak) so the new grass grows deeper roots.

You can grow grass on concrete with this! Grows quickly without much preparation!

Bought a large number of these to repair multiple spots throughout the lawn - unreliable. Works in some areas, not others - and I can't figure out what makes the difference. High sun/water area against a wall? Comes in great along a narrow 60 foot strip. A curving strip elsewhere? Some areas with shade, sure. Some areas without, nope. Patches all over the lawn - nothing. If you're planning to do a bunch of small repairs - just grab some plugs or sod. This is not something you want to rely on unless it's a very limited job you're doing.

I had my gardener put this down in a large area where he removed a bush. I then put it in about 30 small holes that we made by squirrels digging up my lawn, and an area around my mailbox that the handyman dug up to fix my maibox post.I faithfully watered it, per the directions. It takes ALOT of water due to the expanding mulch. But watered I did.It's been 2 full weeks. There has been absolutely no new growth whatsoever. Now I still have the large brown area from the bush, the mailbox and all the holes, my water bill ( the town I live in owns the water company and we call it liquid gold, but to water the large area, over and over, and fact that it just keeps absorbing water due to the expand mulch - I probably spent 20$ on water), and I'm out the money.I had read reviews before that said the same thing. I should have listened and just put down grass seed.Now I have to leave town for a month, don't have time to water everyday and will have the big spot on my lawn from the bush, all the rest, for at least 6 more weeks.I take pride in my lawn, this has been an epic fail. I'd strongly advise anyone reading this NOT to buy this product.

Product is great except I only received three of the four bags I paid for…no real good way to get it fixed as Amazon directs you to Scott’s website which isn’t helpful. Oh wellUPDATE, missing bag came a day later so all good!
