EZ Patch Lawn Repair for St. Augustine Lawns

This product did not work. My husband and I prepped the areas and followed all the directions but the seed did not germinate. We did not get any new grass in the areas that we used the product in. I was very disappointed with this product. Unfortunately, we did not keep the containers so I can not ask for our money back. Do not buy this product. Don't waste your money.

Misleading Listing. It’s listed under grass seed so I figured it was safe to assume that was what was in it. Absolutely useless as it does NOT contain ANY grass seed. It’s only mulch and fertilizer.

After two failed applictions, I finally succeeded in the third application. My experience is not let seeds exposed in the hot air. After the application on the bare spots, I spread a thin layer of top soil or pot soil mix to cover the seeds. I watered the spots twice a day in the morning and noon just keeping the soil wet but not flooding. The purpose is to cool the top soil. In this way the seeds are starting germination after 10 days while the day temperature reached 90 degree and no much rain falling.

Grew little to no grass on all patches. Seems as though there was hardly any grass seed included and was all filler and mulch. Save your money and just buy a bag of seed.

love this product had a few bare spots in my front yard raked it level ,spread a little product on the soil , reraked the soil over the seed , watered regularly.. have seen beautiful green grass in such a short time if watered regualrly i do my lawn 3 times a week at 5am for an hr each day sun-wed.-fri.. has worked nicely so far in this hot weather here in Florida...

My St. Augustine lawn had a small area of about 70 square feet in a corner that was so shaded that I could not get any grass to grow there. I previously had resodded that spot twice only for it to go bare again both times. It seemed like an ideal place to try this Scotts Tall Fescue remedy since it claims it will grow in dense shade. So this Spring, I decided to try this repair mix on my yard here in Texas. I followed the simple directions for soil preparation which were to loosen the soil with a rake and remove any rocks or loose vegetation. Then I sprinkled the seed mix evenly over the area. I used the entire amount, which was advertised to cover "up to 85 sq. ft." I then hand watered as directed with a sprinkle type nozzle trying not to disturb the seed. For the next four days I watered the site each day keeping it moist and not allowing it to dry out. Then on the fifth day, I noticed tiny little sprouts of grass blades about 1/2" long. After only ten days, the patch of grass stands about 4" tall although the individual blades are delicately thin and very sparse, laying down flat when wet. Over the coming weeks I expect the blades to broaden and strengthen as they mature and for the coverage to look more dense. Even so, it does look like the "covers up to 85 sq ft" claim may be a bit optimistic and that about half that would give you a more thick, lush result.

I replanted large areas of my lawn last fall and used EZ Seed for patch work this spring. Hands down, this is the best way to grow grass. It cuts much of the labor out of the process. I simply rough up the ground beneath a little then sprinkle a light layer of EZ seed. If I can, I wait until after a rain where the ground is already wet beneath. When the seed germinates, it will need to send its roots into the soil. I picked tall fescue as that is what the sunny areas of my lawn are. With its deep roots, It is a good grass for the hot and dry Virginia summers. I put this seed down before a good week of rainy days and had sprouts by the end. The mulch and fertilizer in the product do a great job of keeping moisture in and giving the new grass nutrients. The mulch also helps erosion but youll see on one of my photos, water washed some of the EZ seed away next to a garden bed. In very shady and damp areas of my yard, germination was limited and took much longer. I haven't tried the competitor's versions of EZ Seed but no product I have used works so well. EZ Seed is about four times the cost of regular seed but saves me a lot of time and comes with near-guaranteed results. For seeding large areas again, I probably would not spend the money on EZ but will use it for patch work in the future.

This Scotts brand E-Z Tall Fescue grass seed is one of the best patch grass seed products on the market. Superior green tall grass in just a few days provided you follow the planting times and conditions and of course keep the seeds moist until they firmly take hold in the soil. And of course loosen the soil and fertilize the area. This past year was a bad year with insect like grubs and not enough rain. I have more than my share of bare spots where grass died and I needed to reseed. This year the opposite problems it has rained nearly the past 2 weeks every day and overall the weather was 10-20 colder than normal for our springtime here. Luckily I was able before the weather turned rainy spread this EZ Seed Tall Fescue on my lawns bare spots over a couple of weeks ago. I am delighted to say that this grass is growing very nice. Scotts brand I love and trust and always in stock at my local Home Depot. Thank you so much for a fantastic product Scotts. Anyone needing to reseed spots I highly recommend this grass seed.. Two green thumbs up.

It is only a fertilizer. Doesn't seem to do much.
