Questions & Answers
Planted 4 weeks ago and is growing great! Mowed once already and will mow again soon. When should I apply fertilyzer and what type should it be?
We're glad to hear the Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix is working well. We recommend using a straight fertilizer 4 to 6 weeks after sowing your seed, if you didn't use any fertilizer at the time of planting. For a more specific recommendation, based on your area and specific situation, please contact us at 877-220-3089
Is it okay to apply in Southern California in October or wait till it’s cooler? Will this be a substitute for weed & feed? I’d like to fill in bald patches but also prevent weeds.
Hello Maxi. Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix is best applied in either the spring or early fall. Do not apply when temperatures are expected to be over 85°F. This cool season grass seed germinates best when soil temperatures are above 55°F and air temperatures are consistently above 60°F. Grass seeds may be applied a minimum of 4 weeks after a weed control product. If grass seeds were applied first, wait until after the 4th mowing to apply the weed control. Please reach out to our Customer Service team at 877-220-3089 for further assistance if needed.

I have sandy soil, living in PNW. Would this be a good seed mix?
Is this seed good for sandy soil on Cape Cod
Hey there! Great question. Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix is a great product for the Pacific Northwest. When dealing with sandy soil, we recommend using a soil improver, such as Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Soil, when prepping the area for seeding. Adding organic matter improves nutrient retention and water-holding capacity.
