I had an area in the backyard lawn that was all mossed over so once I got rid of the moss several weeks ago. I applied this sun and shade product to it. I marked it off with white thread so that I can see how it is doing. See pics.
Its an interesting product, a combination of 3 components, Seeds, fertilizer, and what smells like manure is the soil improver that is listed on the bag. See the pic of what it looks like straight out of the bag.
Once I applied it and using the back side of a rake to smooth it out. Okay I didn't use a spreader, but just slowly shook it out of a scoop. So my coverage was heavier than described on the bag, but I figure I had a severe bald spot area to cover. Once done, I gently sprayed water on it t soak it well.

A very simple all in one mix. it's a good value considering it does 3 steps in one. A good time saver. I was able to get this down in between rain showers. It spreads very evenly in my Scott's drop spreader. No clumping. The seeds stayed mixed evenly with the fertilizer and soil conditioner. It is very easy to see when in the lawn. Has a pinkish hue. I have always had good results with Scott's. I thatched the lawn before dropping the seed to scratch the soil and get rid of the moss we get here in Seattle. Its too early to see the seeds germinate but I will write another review to show the grass after is up and ready to mow!

I received this to spread on my front lawn. My lawn takes a beating every year. It has lots of thin spots due to clover moving in last year, and subsequently being killed off with an herbicide. I live in Kansas which is hard to get decent grass to grow, as we get too cold in the winter for the warm-region grasses, and our summers get too hot for the cool-region grasses. The Scotts turf builder looks to be a good combination of seed, fertilizer, and soil enhancer. I spread it over the lawn with a spreader. We have had good consistent light rains since then, and a week and a half later I have seen some sprouts coming up already. I expect it to speed up as the temperature warms up within the next few weeks.

This excellent grass seed, soil improvement mixture was perfect for filling in the thin areas in my yard. It comes in a thick resealable ziplock bag. Good detailed instructions including spreader settings are printed on the back of the bag. The seed mixture was loose and dry with no clumps (see photo). It covered 4,000 sq feet with the dial on my basic Scott broadcast spreader set to 9. We had a heavily shaded back yard and just had seven trees removed for more sun. This product was the perfect choice to thicken the thin grass this spring going into he summer. It also worked well to fill in some bare areas in the front lawn.

I often find myself having to purchase a big bag of grass seed and separate bags of fertilizer and some sort of mulch/compost just to fill in bare spots in the lawn. Then I have extra left over sitting around in the garage. This 12 lb Lawn Thickener Sun and Shade is perfect for taking care of those thin or bare spots in the lawn. Preparation is key. Rake to loosen the soil beforehand and don't forget to turn on the sprinkler to moisten everything afterwards (for about a week).

Spring is right around the corner and this is perfect for any yard. I laid this down right before rain to make sure it soaked in. Within a few days I noticed my grass becoming greener and this February in Kentucky! Can't speak to any added thickness in the grass. I have a normal sized front yard and the 12 pound bag was just right for the size. Will update review if anything changes.

We use a lot of Scott’s yard products throughout the year. No thinking, just follow their plan.

I haven’t had it down long enough to see any grass starting. It was a good mix of seed, fertilizer and starter. I liked this because it was for both sun and shade.

We don't have great dirt in the backyard, so my expectations were perhaps unreasonable? We scruffed the yard and spread per instructions, but haven’t seen new grass popping up two weeks later. But hopefully the soil improver is working...

Not a single blade of grass
Followed the instructions exactly. More than two weeks later absolutely nothing has happened. Not sure if it's a defective product or just a defective bag. I have an average to below average front yard - nothing strange or out of the ordinary. I would try something else before trying this.
