Hi, Thanks for your question on using Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun & Shade. No, I recommend using a Starter Fertilizer such as Scotts Turf Builder for New Lawns. Spread the starter fertilizer on the exact same day you sow the seed to stimulate rapid, thick root development.

Thank you for reaching out about Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun & Shade. Although EZ Seed is primarily designed for patching, you can apply it using a spreader by following a few simple steps. First, adjust your spreader to its highest available setting, and measure the total square footage of the target area. Next, determine the required amount of EZ Seed based on your measurements and pour it into the spreader: - 2 lbs: Covers 42 sq ft (3.9 m²) - 3.75 lbs: Covers 80 sq ft (7.4 m²) - 10 lbs: Covers 210 sq ft (19.5 m²) - 14.5 lbs: Covers 310 sq ft (28.8 m²) - 20 lbs: Covers 420 sq ft (39 m²) Once loaded, walk over the area in alternating, perpendicular directions until the spreader is completely empty. Take care not to over-apply the product, as applying it too thickly causes overcrowding that prevents the grass seed from germinating or establishing properly.
